Dear Nobody, or Brendan

But when there was a derailment at very high speed, due to the collapse of a
WWI trench (undiscoveed) absolutely no one was killed.

Any cow hot by a TGV at 250 would be ibstant "le hamburger" and a derailment
would be extremely unlikely-

Did you do any physics at school? - or was it all too hard?

The IICE actually derailed into a bridge on conventional track!
