This is a clip from a street camera (not sure which city) that shows a tram that derailed and actually hit people. I hope no one was seriously injured.
Such an awful accident. It shows how much we rely on the design engineers of the transport networks. The system in Prague is old and delapodated. Built during Soviet regime and poorly maintained through lack of cash. The new trams are obviously much better and as Czech Republic gets more money and investment from the EU, this type of accident will cease to happen. This was an accident waiting to happen, having a bus stop on the outside of the bend is crazy. But if necessary, then it should be raised upon a reinforced curb with barrier.
By PorkyPig 1152654269 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe driver of that tram was speeding...that's why the tram flew out of the track.
This guy comment that the infrastucture is too old is inadequate.
Trams in the Czech have 1000s kms and every day transport milions of people...because of few rare even though bad looking wrecks you cannot say that they are poorly maintained or they are not safe enough to serve people.look at car or bike wrecks...the trams are still much safer.
Use tram every day for over 20 years in the Czech and never anything happened to me.
Hi. I didn't mean any offence by saying the tram system is old and dilapidated. It's just my opinion based on comparison to London. I have been to the wonderful city of Prague many times, as well as Budapest. The first thing that strikes you about the transport in these countries is the poor condition a lot of it seems to be in. But having said that, there are many many more very good things about these places, and the transport system is part of it's charm. And I'm not saying London is the best. The bus drivers here are possibly the worst in the world and the 140 year old underground system has many problems and is too expensive. I hope you continue to travel safely.
...point of view. The public transport in Prague is very sophisticated, based on a balanced system of trams, buses and the metro (that's how we call the tube (or subway)) and a good layout of their routes. It is reliable and helps you get easily around even at night (as you might know since you said you came here often). A majority of the rolling-stock is either new or has undergone a complete recontruction and transports hundreds of thousands of people every day. There will always be accidents but I assure you that in Prague, they are rare...
...and as you might've read, it was the driver's fault for he was speeding...
...and mind you - there was no 'Soviet regime' here :-) Communist, yes, but not Soviet. The former Czechoslovakia was never a part of the USSR... just a detail but... you know... ;-)
According to the PragueMonitor News, two people lost their lives.

By oaMaaM 1144633072 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveMy friend´s mom was killed by this tram. Next time, try not to express your stupid opinion, because you don´t know, who can read it! Kreténe jeden zasranej americkej.

By SkACe 1144609815 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNo one of us know when our time to die comes, and how will it end, so we should be sure we fillfull god wishes, and clean our sins before we be asked by angels .
the crash is so bad and feel sry for them, but seems their time has come, and others involved will learn and change how they live.
it's clear that the train shouldn't leave the lines, but it's like someone has pushed it toward the crowed, as a believer , it's GOD willing.
Thx for reading.
its simple the tram went around the corner to fast and it let go of the rails. a little bit like how a water skier uses the turn to gain speed and jump the wake of the boat. nothing to do with god.

By deathwolf 1155645032 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI would like you to be under the wheels of that tram. It really happend and I think two or three people has been killed and the video is scratchy 'cause it's street camera. Might you've got a big problem with yourself, so go solve it and don't annoy the world with your embarrassing comments under the video, where people's lifes has been lost! Want some emphasis? Try to google: "prague tram accident karlovo namesti". Screw you.
