| Subject: Statists are responsible: At least 20 killed, 120 hurt in Moscow subway accident Tue Jul 15, 2014 8:56 pm | |
| At least 20 people were killed and more than 120 were injured when a Moscow underground train derailed during the morning rush hour in one of the worst accidents on the Russian capital's subway system in years.
President Vladimir Putin, who is away in Brazil, ordered a criminal investigation into the accident, which is likely to raise further questions over Russia's transport safety record. There was no suspicion of a militant attack - the cause of scores of deaths in Moscow's subway system in years past.
Three carriages derailed on a train travelling between two stations at 70 km per hour at around 8.35 am on the world's busiest subway system.
