So far, 27 people have died. More than 50 people are injured.
Who is responsible for that?
First of all, along the local route Andria - Corato there is just one bloody rail for two trains coming from the opposite directions.
Would you imagine that?
Nowadays, when huge investments are made for high speed train as well as TAV, we still travel in a such dangerous and non-effective way!?
And that route is not the only one in Apulia to have just one rail.
As far as I know, the Lesina-Termoli as well as the Bari-Matera have the same limit. This last route, covered by Ferrovie Appulo-Lucane (FAL), are on the spot since years because the management is accused of having wasted millions of euros.
On the top of it, bear in mind that the communication between the rail stations of Andria and Corato are carried out by fonogramma, such an obsolete way to communicate that is not even contemplated by wordreference.com (dictionary), therefore I ignore how to translate fonogramma in English.
If Guglielmo Marconi had been alive, he would probably have known how to translate it.
There are precise responsibilities ascribable to the national institutions who do not control at all how certain companies manage local and regional railway transportations.
In order to understand what is going on in this country, I'd suggest you to read two articles: one written by Roberto Saviano, published by La Repubblica Perche' hanno dimenticato il Sud. The second one written by Giuseppe De Tomaso, editor of La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno Insicurezza a bordo incoscienza al potere.
In addition, the questione meridionals, which in other words is the economical, technological (etc etc…) gap between South and North is getting bigger and bigger.
So, Carlo Levi was wrong!
Christ did not stopped at Eboli, He did stop at Andria-Corato.
Ps. My apologies for any misspelling or grammar mistakes. However, I felt to write these words like they came out from my soul.
