A passenger train running from Moscow to St. Petersburg derailed Friday, causing 25 deaths and 63 injuries, state-run Russian television reported.Russian state radio said the crash occurred 280 km (174 miles) from St. Petersburg at 9:34 p.m. (1:34 p.m. ET). Rescue workers were trying to free people trapped under the carriages of the Nevsky Express that overturned.
Well, it's the technology of yestercentury. These things are bound to happen.

To be completely fair it wasn't due to the technology of the train itself. It was likely due to an overt act of terrorism. Without a bomb going off the train would have made a safe, and heavily subsidised trip to Moscow.
