This is getting stupid.
Obviously there are some serious problems. No wonder the passenger loads are down. Another accident waiting to happen?

With a large amount of the HSR on elevated tracks, it doesn't take much if any speed in a collision to
derail a train and consequently the carriages fall 50 or more feet.
