This story is getting a high level of play here in the US. Something about it every day. Here's today's story:

http://news.yahoo.com/china-train-cr...011250335.html

Looks like some Chinese worker bee is about to be thrown under the bus, I mean, train. Blame it on the rail staff:

"Soon after the crash, domestic media had blamed foreign technology. But Thursday, railway authorities said a signal, that should have turned red after lightning hit the train that stalled, remained green, and rail staff then failed to see something was amiss, the state-run Xinhua news agency said."
