		Conventionally, railways apply a a stop and examine policy when there is strange behaviour or noises from a train.
		The Granville train disaster of 1977 had a similar weakness in its bridge.
		Yet another contributing factor is the use of welds in the carriage bodies that "unzipped" during the crash (see Modern Railways December 2004, p16).

	Disaster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		A disaster is an unexpected natural or unintentional man-made catastrophe of substantial extent causing significant property damage or destruction, loss of lives or sometimes permanent changes to natural environment.
		Disasters may also be used to refer to unforseen events which devastate a company or industry such as a public relations disaster or a major flop[?].
		An attack with much collateral damage may be considered a disaster, such as the attack on KdF Ship Wilhelm Gustloff, 1945, the worst or perhaps second worst maritime incident in history, in terms of loss of life in a single vessel (see also note at the end of the article RMS Titanic).
