The runaway Swiss train disaster 

Fri, 2 Dec 2022 08:00:00 GMT - On May 17, 2006, a runaway goods train crashed into another locomotive in central Switzerland after travelling at high speeds for over 30 kilometres following a brake failure. Unable to regain control, three railway workers on board died. This 2019 docufiction by Swiss public television, SRF, tells the story behind the fatal accident near Thun in the central Bernese Oberland. At 3am on May 17, 2006, a 300-tonne goods train with three workers on board left Frutigen for Spiez in canton Bern. After five minutes, as the train hauling ballast and other material continued its journey downhill, the train drivers realised the brakes weren't working. They desperately tried to contact the nearby control centre for help as the train reached speeds of up to 100km/h. After being warned of an impending disaster by the train occupants, company managers decided to divert it towards another maintenance site on a straight section of the line near Thun and let it collide with the other train.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18
