No one noticed the mistake – until the driver of train K9017 tried to brake as the train pulled into the Chenzhou Railway Station. The dust plug clogged up the braking pipe, preventing the brakes from properly engaging in cars 2 to 18. Unable to stop, train K9017 then collided with train K9063. The Ministry said Feng will be investigated for potential criminal negligence. The investigation team also suggested authorities punish fourteen other employees of Nanjing Puzhen Vehicle Co., Ltd., who it said bear some responsible for the crash as well, including several senior company officials. |
