Tragedy striked Indonesia as two passenger trains collapsed into each other early Saturday morning. 35 passengers perished, while other 15 are fighting for their lives. Information about the victims has been gathered from all the different hospitals were the victims were taken. Some corpses were difficult to identify due to the injuries they received.
Hours after the accident happened, the president of the country conveyed his condolence to the families of the victims. Two days after the incident, no statements from the CEOs have been made. They nor any other representative has made an appearence to address the issue.
The reason of the accident is still under investigation. So far, allegations indicate human error from the machinist.
When trying to access information about the incident from the websites of Argo Anggrek Railway and Senja Utama Trains, their pages constantly marked error. 24 hours after the accident the sites still showed the same message. News websites are the ones that have facilitated the easy flow of information between both organizations and the public. . No one has assumed responsability. The only information circulating is that that may help families reunite with their loved ones or claim bodies. A list with the names of the hospitals was made available via ALL VOICES, news website.
The names of two drivers, allegedly involved in the crash, were released. Apparently they stand alone, their employers have not showed their support. They were arrested by police for further questioning.
Information has been limited to gather because majority of them is, or appears to be, Indonesian. I would assume that because of the magnitude of the proplem and the global attention that the news are receiving there would be some more information available in English.
