Q: bullet trains - so it wasn't a lightning bolt?
Premier Wen Jiabao Thursday vowed to "severely punish" those who are responsible for the fatal train collision.
I'm confused dint they originally blame a lighting bolt? now they say it rear ended another train?

What is your point?
That the Chinese Government lied or was ignorant or that you are confused?
Neither is news. lol 
I think that a lightening bolt could well have caused the tarin to stop in its tracks. I think what Premier Wen Jiabao means by 'severely punishing' is an investigation as to why the next train on the track was not alerted that there was a stationary train ahead. This could have been by a signal being on red, control rooms not seeing the problem, the inability to communicate with the driver of the train approaching the stationary train. So systems, people, planners.... a lot of reasons but the saddest thing of all is that in the year 2011 this should never have happened. I never travel at the front or in the rear on an MTR train - only in the middle. Its only a matter of time.......
