5 railway officials in China fired after crash. May 4, 2008
BEIJING (AP) — China's government has fired five railway officials after last week's train crash that killed 72 people and injured hundreds of others, a state-run news agency reported Sunday. The officials made mistakes that "directly caused the disaster," the official Xinhua News Agency said. Investigators blamed excessive speed for China's worst train accident in a decade, when a high-speed passenger train jumped its tracks and slammed into another in rural Shandong province on Monday. The five officials in the Jinan Railway bureau were in charge of the section of track outside Zibo city where the crash happened, Xinhua said. State media reported an order was issued the day of the accident to reduce speed in the area because of construction on a new rail line. The instructions were not clearly relayed to the train's operators and other rail staff. The accident was the worst train crash in China since 1997, when another collision killed 126 people.
