What actually went wrong during Metro relief operations

NEW DELHI - A day after an under construction elevated section of the Delhi Metro collapsed killing six people, a Delhi-Metro-rail-Bridge-Collapsescrash during relief operations injured six people Monday. The cause for the crash was a mechanical snag in one of the four cranes supporting the heavy girder segment in place, officials said.

After years of improved safety, a spate of rail accidents hit U.S. cities, especially subways

WASHINGTON — For the third time in nine months, a major subway or commuter rail crash occurred in a big city.
