Never criticize anyone until you've walked several kilometres in their shoes.
Because

1. You're now several kilometres away; and

2. You've got their shoes.

Mark you, 100mph is not exactly a "bullet train".

Good practice at that speed is to keep the next train at least two signal blocks behind, so if something like this happens to the first one, the signals stop the second one. Even at 100mph, and even with modern rheostatic and disc brakes, it takes over a mile for a train to stop.

So the signalling simply wasn't working here, or else the driver of the second train ignored a red light.

Bury the evidence -- how typical of the Red Chinese. I bet they dug quickly after the unfortunate incident at Tiananmen Square.

Spending time alone
It's time to set my demons free
Been put to the test
My mind laid to rest
