[QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 45432, member: 636"] A fancy train carrying foreign tourists crashed with a cargo train during Easter holidays. The luxury Rovos Rail accident happened on tracks between Bulawayo and Beitbridge. Forty-seven visitors and thirty-four workers were traveling to Victoria Falls when the trains hit each other. Several cars came off the rails during the crash. One crew member died weeks later from health problems caused during the accident. Chief Operating Officer Tiffany Vos-Thane talked about what went wrong after months of silence. She blamed railway operators for making timing errors that caused the crash. The accident was the first major problem during twenty years of using these tracks. Emergency teams from Zimbabwe arrived quickly to help everyone. Medical workers and railway officials reached the scene within minutes. Passengers did not suffer physical injuries but many felt scared and upset. The company arranged counseling sessions for workers who lived through the crash. Customer interest remains strong despite the accident. Only one person asked about safety concerns since the incident happened. Travel industry surveys show that seventy-three percent of experts believe luxury trips will stay popular. The train company faces problems with power cuts and cable thieves causing delays. Track conditions have improved eighty percent recently according to company reports. Rovos Rail operates twenty-three locomotives across ten African countries. The business plans to fix existing train cars rather than buying new ones. Officials continue working with local railway companies to prevent future timing mistakes. [/QUOTE]
