The driver of a Spanish train that flew off the rails and killed 79 people admitted speeding but complained bitterly about a dangerous curve as he lay trapped in his cabin, a new recording reveals. In a telephone call to rail officials, moments after the July 24 disaster, injured train driver Francisco Jose Garzon Amo can be heard fretting over the fate of passengers and decrying the bend where the train derailed. “There must be many wounded because it has turned over. I can’t get out of the cabin,” he said in a recording released online on Thursday by leading daily El Pais — AFP |
