The Great Greek Train Wreck.

[Storr]

What a tragedy.

The Transportation Minister has already resigned and a rail executive been arrested.

Yes, but the son of the Prosecutor who was assigned the case to investigate this, works in the private office of the now ex-Transport Minister.

So it's unlikely that this train wreck will be investigated because the Prosecutor will also have to investigate his own son.

Welcome to the world of greek corruption.

The only way that this will be investigated is if the EU Commission bites and threatens the cash flow of EU funds, and of course a foreign prosecutor gets the case.

(There is precedence, UEFA have already installed foreign referees in greek football because they never trust a greek referee)

I hope the EU gets involved. The initial reports suggest a wrong indication or wrong information (possibly by the arrested station manager?) was given to the crew one of the trains, which would mean this crash doesn't have to do with incapacitated, tired, or distracted crews. In this day and age wrong indication or miscommunication crashes shouldn't be happening in Europe.
