📰 Update: Reported death toll in Taiwan train derailment is 50
🀄 報導更新: 台灣火車出軌造成50人死亡
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The death toll in the train derailment near a tunnel in Hualien County was given as 50 after the last passengers trapped inside were rescued, the Taiwan Railways Administration said Friday (April 2) evening.
📌 台灣鐵路局週五 (4月2日) 晚表示,在救出被困在車裡的最後一名乘客後,花蓮縣火車隧道脫軌造成的死亡人數為50人。
On the first day of the Tomb Sweeping Holiday, more than 450 passengers had taken the Taroko Express train from Shulin, New Taipei City, with Taitung as its destination.
📌 清明節假期的第一天,有450多名乘客從新北市樹林出發乘坐太魯閣快車,目的地為台東。
While initial reports suggested a construction vehicle hit the train as it was about to enter the Daqingshui Tunnel in Xiulin, Hualien County, at 9:28 a.m., further investigation revealed a crane truck parked on a slope above the track might have rolled down 20 meters and ended up on the tracks before the train arrived.
📌 最初的報告顯示,一輛工程車輛將在上午9:28進入花蓮縣秀林的大青水隧道時撞上火車,但進一步調查顯示,停在鐵軌上方斜坡上的工程車可能是滾落20米,並在火車到達之前就在鐵軌上了。
The first carriage of the train, Car No. 8, hit the vehicle before coming to a stop inside the tunnel with four other carriages. Only the last three cars were still outside the tunnel.
📌 火車的第一個車廂,第8號車廂,在與其他四節車廂一起在隧道內停下來之前,撞上了工程車。只有最後三輛車廂在隧道外。
The Taiwan Transportation Safety Board (TTSB, 運安會) said that either the truck’s handbrake had not been engaged or it had malfunctioned. A thorough investigation might last three months before it could produce definitive results.
📌 台灣運輸安全委員會(TTSB,運安會) 說,這輛卡車的手剎未接合或發生了故障。可能需要三個月才能進行徹底的調查,然後才能得出確定的結果。
Prosecutors interviewed the driver, who reportedly claimed he had switched on the emergency brake and even put a rock behind the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. Under normal circumstances, no outside vehicle should be able to move onto the tracks, the TTSB said, suggesting a fence should have been erected between the track and the construction site above the railway line.
📌 檢察官會見了這位司機,據報導,這位司機聲稱他已經啟動了緊急煞車,甚至在車輪後方放了一塊石頭,以防止車輛行駛。 TTSB說,在正常情況下,任何外部車輛都不能在鐵軌上行駛,這表明在鐵軌和鐵路線以上的建築工地之間應該建立起圍欄。
According to a Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) map, most of the fatalities were found in the two first carriages. A total of 146 people were injured, many of them transferred for treatment to several hospitals in the region or receiving first aid at nearby Chongde Railway Station.
📌 根據台灣鐵道局 (TRA) 的地圖,大多數死亡事件是在兩個頭車廂中發現的。共有146人受傷,其中許多人被轉移到該地區的多家醫院進行治療或在附近的崇德火車站接受急救。
Both the train conductor and his assistant, aged 33 and 32 respectively, died in the crash, while the youngest victim was a six-year-old girl, reports said. One French national was also believed to be among the victims, while the injured included visitors from Japan and Australia, cable station TVBS reported.
📌 報導說,列車長和他的助手分別在33歲和32歲時死於車禍,而最小的受害者是一個6歲的女孩。據有線電視台TVBS報導,據信一名法國公民也是受害者,而受傷人員包括來自日本和澳大利亞的遊客。
Survivors told reporters how power had cut out, and they had to find their way by using the light from their phones. Eye witnesses said many passengers had become trapped under the train seats.
📌 倖存者告訴記者,電源是如何切斷的,他們不得不通過使用手機上的燈找到路。目擊者稱,許多乘客被困在火車座位下。
The government set up a special emergency center, while asking traffic to avoid the highways leading to the scene of the crash in order to allow ambulances quicker access. Friday’s crash was described as the deadliest rail accident in Taiwan for the past 40 years, CNA reported.
📌 政府建立了一個特殊的緊急中心,同時要求交通避開通往撞擊現場的高速公路,以允許救護車更快進入。 CNA報導,週五的撞車事故被描述為過去40年來台灣最致命的鐵路事故。
🙏 Life is full of uncertainty. May the departed souls rest in peace;
May the living be safe. It is time for solidarity as the nation grieves.

how to avoid car accident 在 YC Lew - 17去旅行 Facebook 的最佳貼文
English version 「🇮🇸Budget to go Iceland🇮🇸」
In planning this Iceland road trip around I do not refer to other people's travels routes. So some attractions I might missed. Also, do not think Iceland will certainly see the aurora. We have 10 days there but only 2 days we have chance to see. One day is kp5, one day is kp1 Bale. There are also people who have not seen it in 10 days. In addition to the Aurora, Iceland is so beautiful of the landscape.
Day 1
Kuala Lumpur - Istanbul - London - Iceland
On October 24, 2017, we departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Iceland because of the cheap airfare.
So we need to transfer to Istanbul from Istanbul.
Then transfer from London to Iceland.
Although it is a waste of time but save money, it does not matter!
From Kuala Lumpur to Iceland took a total of 24 hours.
Day 2
Arrived in London at 9:30 in the morning.
The flight time to Iceland is 12:55.
Worried about too many people waiting in line so we buy online Premium Passport Lane.
With that pass, we do not need to line up with the customs.
VIP Lane can go directly.
Feel like VIP!
From customs clearance to get baggage no more than 15 minutes.
Walk from South to North terminal, Icelandair in North.
About 3 hours flight from London to Iceland, the first thing to Iceland is to change the local currency.
After that we pick up the car and we have a 9-day car rental with Thrifty.
Last added unlimited wireless Internet access, 15 euros a day.
Car must buy full insurance, Iceland has too much sand accident, it is easy to scratch.
In order to save money, we rented a manual car.
Take the car directly to the nearby Bonus supermarket to buy some food for next few days.
We spent RM160.
After an hour and a half by car to our hostel.
This homestay is located in a remote downtown area.
We reached there about 7:30PM.
Quickly prepare dinner, friends shouted after dinner. Aurora!!!
Everyone ran out to see the aurora.
I did not expect so strong aurora, the naked eye directly saw.
Also lasted a few hours, due to too excited, forget the jet lag.
Can not sleep, 12 o'clock to sleep, 5 o'clock and got up and continue to see Aurora.
And the sky full of star, is the most beautiful night i have ever seen.
Day 3
Sleep for 2 hours and enjoyed bathtub outside the house.
Hot springs so comfortable!
The sky started to light up at about 8 o'clock.
Prepare our breakfast, then we started today's attractions.
We are taking the most basic Golden Circle attractions.
Geysir Fountain - Goldfoss Gold Falls --bingvellir National Park
We went to Geysir Fountain and Gullfoss Golden Waterfall
Geysir fountain is so special! Is the geothermal valley, water from the ground.
Gold Falls is spectacular, remember to bring a raincoat, or will be drenched.
As we live in the middle of these two attractions, we have lunch back home trip.
Then go to bingvellir National Park
This is UNESCO, a lot of scenery to see, if you like the wild scenery must come to this.
Feel the Soul Out Rip in the Rift Valley at Singgweler National Park.
From 10 am until 6 pm in the evening.
Dinner at home.
We do not spent any money today
Day 4
Slept early last night, so everyone got up early.
After breakfast will go to other place.
The sky was covered with rain clouds.
We left at 8:30PM and went to Keiro Crater.
Tickets are required here, one for 400 kroner.
After continuing to the east, on the way through the Volcano Experience Hall.
We do not know to buy tickets, the result we accidentally [free] into the museum to watch the video.
The beautiful Seljalandsfoss Falls pass on the way.
Very worth visiting ~
Come to today's highlight - D3 wreckage
This is the story I heard.
"It was a miracle that on November 24, 1973, a U.S. Navy aircraft (C-47 SkyTrain, also known as Dakota) was forced to land on Sólheimasandur's dark beach in southern Iceland and all crew members survived. It was said that due to the cost of repairs too It has been quietly staying in the corner of Iceland.
But since the plane's own metal lines matched the landscape of the Icelandic land, making it a must-see for many tourists, photographers visit the must-see places of Iceland and even plan their own exclusive routes, gradually becoming more lively. "
Iceland is really a place of praise like the explosion, any weather, she has become a landscape.
However, under the well-known, but also brought a lot of burden.
Last March, the owner of the area announced the closure of the road to the wreck because it could not afford to take any more damage.
Photographers and tourists love it, bring it to fame, but also brought loss. Although they are unintentional, this is an indisputable fact.
All along, everyone can only rely on GPS (google coordinates: 63.459523, -19.364618), go wild to find the location of the wreckage, strangers in unfamiliar places, drove a four-wheel drive (usually go to the wreckage need four-wheel drive) , Will inevitably cause some damage to the environment.
Now we all choose to park the car on the road around the island, 5 km on foot to see the wreckage.
Sometimes I have to admit that foreigners have a very strong sense of protection for the environment. In their eyes, people are the same as nature and need rest and love and need to get along well with each other.
If you give me a choice, I think I will still go in.
But it must be chosen in a sunny day rather than in a storm of wind that blows away people today.
To the last body, including underwear are soaked, the mood has also been destroyed, the next attractions do not want to go.
Just want to back to stay for a change.
Want to go to the wreckage, remember to choose the right weather, the wrong choice can make people very upset.
Tonight we will be staying in Kirkjubæjarklaustur, a beautiful little town that will allow us to travel to the eastern part of Iceland early tomorrow morning.
Day 5
As usual to prepare our own breakfast to go out today than usual out.
Because we want to drive 420 km, estimated 5 hours and a half drive.
Departure from the southern city of Kirkjubæjarklaustur to the eastern city of Reyðarfjörður.
We do not have any plans today.
What attractions stop, unexpectedly found the roadside unknown waterfall creek.
There will be glaciers along the way, so spectacular too!
The Glacier Lagoon will come again, but we will not go in the direction of the tourists.
We stopped in the car park 1 km before the entrance, and then climb down the mountain to Avoid crowded.
After that we continue our road trip to east.
Then you must not miss the fjord view to the east.
We all drive the car on the left side of the mountain, on the right is the Atlantic Coastal Road.
Fjord scenery super beautiful, super magnificent.
However, it should be noted that the wind in Iceland is very strong, and several times our car was displaced by strong winds.
It's hard to drive when the weather is not good, after all, there is no fence around the road.
Minute wind will blow the car down the Atlantic.
The most dangerous place than the 95 road.
Well, I carefully driving carefully to bring everyone to the east.
Reyðarfjörður is a small city.
In fact, choose to live here is not because of what attractions.
Instead, it is here as a rest stop before we heading to the north tomorrow.
Tomorrow will continue to open 297 kilometers about 3 hours and we already on half away.
Day 6
From the east to the north, 240 km and about 3 and a half hours away.
Iceland is a very interesting place, yesterday we saw the magnificent fjord style.
Today we cross a few snow-capped mountains actually came to Iceland's famous volcanic area.
Kaffle Volcano is Iceland's most active volcano.
We drive along the road so there is no attraction recommended, nor go to the waterfall of Iceland God Goðafoss.
Because we worry of road in the mountains, our 2WD car will be more difficult to drive.
We are moving along the Lake District.
Finally, we go to a small number of tourists, not commercial Mývatn Hot Springs.
Mývatn water quality is good, after all, not many people the most important price is half cheaper than the Blue Lake.
The most exciting things is from the toilet to the spa although there’s a short distance.
Super cold! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
After that we will continue to Akureyri, the second largest city in Iceland.
After a few days of running around, we will stay here for 2 days as a resting place.
Day 7
If longer holidays, I will arrange a half-day trip in the middle of the trip.
After a few days of long run, we still stay in Akureyri today.
And we do not have any plan, we wake up to sleep naturally.
Go to the local supermarket stroll, explore the price, buy ingredients.
Walk around Akureyri Botanical Garden, the famous local church.
Then decide to go to an unknown tourist spot.
We decided to go to Dalvik.
Since this is not Route 1, we drive Route 82, so the road is not that good.
But the beautiful scenery along the way is so beautiful.
Lake, sea, snow-capped mountains.
And the mirror-like lake reflected the shadow of snow-capped mountains on the water.
Nobody walked by the road as we sat in the middle of the road taking pictures.
Alpine waterfall directly down the sea to the scenery now feel unforgettable.
Due to the lack of itinerary, we will be staying in only 3 hours outside.
Today is easy and casual.
Charge good tomorrow continue to move north and west.
To stay in a farmhouse.
Day 8
Today's trip is easy, so we sleep later.
We are staying in a farm in the north today.
We also deliberately avoided the well-traveled Route 1 and headed for the cliff coastline.
The scenery along the way is so beautiful.
However, since the farm was not far away, we returned to the farm very early.
After lunch, we sneak into the farm and play with the cute Icelandic horse.
As the weather is too cold, we have been in the bed and breakfast where to go.
Day 9
Today it is necessary to drive back from the north to our last city, Reykjavik
On the way we turned into the Sea Lion Museum, in order to see wild sea lions.
We drove the car into Route 74.
Along the road are stone road, hard to open ah!
Finally, unfortunately did not meet wild sea lions.
But I saw the road map seems to be through the Snæfellsnes
So we decided to drive into the Sinai Peninsula, then do not take the 1st.
In order to reach the Sinai Peninsula more quickly, we choose to drive the car into the Route 59, the whole road is sand stone.
And no white lines, only allow a car to drive.
I drove the car into fearlessly.
The rolling hills are on our left hand side and the right hand side is the sea.
There’s no signal along the road.
There are not many people living along the road.
Up and down the ramp absolutely can not see the opposite of the car, there are also on the slope to a big turn immediately.
I accidentally put the car into the sea, I was serious.
As we went to the Snæfellsnes to see Kirkjufell, so we travel longer.
Because it’s too late. So that we rushed back to Reykjavik and failed to stop taking pictures.
After all, the sky quickly darkened.
Today is our last accommodation in Iceland and we have to enjoy tonight.
In order to save money, plus the flight at 6 o'clock in the morning, tomorrow will overnight at the airport.
Day 10
Today is our last day, we wake up naturally.
Due to the car parked in Reykjavik parking.
We need pay parking hourly.
First we went to visit Reykjavik Cathedral.
Nice church, and Akureyri's church is the same designer!
As there are still a lot of public funds, we decided to take to eat Buffet.
Iceland has a great value Buffet.
This restaurant is located in the city center, restaurant reykjavik.
There are pickled fish, shrimp, desserts have.
And a talent 2250 kroner.
We had eaten for nearly two hours before we came out because we had booked Blue Lake in the morning.
We have to arrive at the time of booking.
Too early to go out too cold, very uncomfortable.
After finally soak to the legendary Blue Lake it!
A lot of guests here, more business, water quality is relatively clean, but more water meters rice mineral.
As the plane is 8 am tomorrow, I specifically do not arrange accommodation.
Want to say we can drive to chase aurora, how to know a large cloud of sky, plus the outside of the cold.
We did not want to go out at all, so return the car early.
Waiting to the airport ~
In Iceland, our spending is really not much!
If you are willing to cook their own meals, we are absolutely able to afford the consumption of Iceland Oh!

how to avoid car accident 在 謙預 Qianyu.sg Facebook 的精選貼文
【防狼之心不可無】
My mum didn't teach me about the birds and the bees.
I was a voracious reader and figured it out on my own at the age of 8, while reading a Charlie Brown encyclopedia.
But what my mum relentlessly taught me was to be wary of wolves. Stranger or family, they can morph into big bad wolves.
My parents worked 12 hours a day to provide for me.
As they were often not around, my mum commando trained me to be fiercely independent since I was a little girl.
I would be home alone for as long as 8 hours after school.
Mum drilled into me never to answer the door if a stranger knocks.
Once when I was 5, I was crossing the small road, to find my grandpa at the market.
I was on my own.
(Told you I was trained young. I would also like to think we lived in a generally safe neighborhood.)
A stranger man stopped me in my track and asked me if I wanted sweets.
My red alert antenna shot up.
I said no firmly to the man.
(I had never liked candy anyway.)
He persisted and told me he could bring me to his car where there were many sweets and toys.
I glared at him as fiercely as a 5-year-old could and threatened to scream if he didn't leave.
The man hurriedly backed off.
My mum's script for dealing with such strangers worked!
When I was 7, I was taking buses on my own to my mum's office at Keppel, after school.
I worked part-time in my mum's office as a tele-operator, Girl Friday and did all sorts of admin duties. #childabuse
Mum was very strict in my telephone etiquette. Few people could tell that they were speaking to a 7-year-old over the phone.
It was a male-dominated environment, and my dad would insist that I wear more trousers than dresses. I rarely had any dress except for CNY. No mini skirts, no strappy revealing tops, no hot pants, no masquerading as a Disney princess looking for a Prince.
Before I was 12, my mum would often reinforced to me:
No man should be allowed to touch me. That would be molest and is a criminal offense.
Never get into a lift alone with another male stranger. If the man comes in after me, I must quickly exit the lift.
Don't talk to strangers, even if they are females.
Don't accept gifts, drinks or foods from strangers, in case they are drugged.
Learn to run quickly.
Learn to shout loudly and fiercely.
Don't show your fear in front of wolves.
Bite as hard as I can.
Kick right with all the strength I can.
Don't walk in dark streets.
Don't sleep on the bus.
Avoid sharing seats with men on the bus.
Always check to see if anyone is tailing me.
#ninjaintraining
For umpteen times throughout my childhood and teenage years, my mum would say, that I MUST let her know if any man touches me. Even if it's a male relative or my own father.
She said she would definitely pursue legal action if I was molested. Because my safety is of paramount importance to her than anything else.
Mum also went through many times, how I should react/slap/kick if there was an outrage of my modesty.
She told me why it was important to respect my body and not have it manipulated by others.
She emphasized to me about the virtue of celibacy before marriage and why girls should not abuse their bodies.
She also warned me not to trust men when they use love as a bait to get into bed with them or use excessive flowery words. Such men would never make good husbands.
And never never get myself drunk. #thankBuddhaIdontdrink
Mum also said, if she had to bring me up alone, without daddy, she would NEVER have another man live with us, in case anything happened to me. Blood is thicker than water, Mum would reiterate.
A woman never has to build her life and happiness on another man.
Mum led by example and held her word to the very end. #soproudofmymum
You can say I grew up in a very protective environment and had a distinct sense of what is right and wrong because of my mum.
I count myself fortunate that I had never been put in compromising situations.
Or rather, I was quick to jump out when the situation isn't going right.
Like when passengers make funny requests to me on board.
The worst was when a Chief Steward walked behind me, at a narrow aisle and slided his hand against the back of my waist.
I was ready to crack his wrist and then "apologise" profusely if he did it again.
#crackfirstthenreport #大不了丟工作罷了
I also do not like it when taking photos with men, and their hands slide up to my shoulders.
Your hand got no better place to put? Did you ask for permission? #crack
About a year ago, I visited this new cafe for its desserts.
When I stepped into the cafe, this vibe of sadness enveloped me.
I was slightly perturbed. It was a newly renovated cafe, with highly Instagrammable decor.
Why the gloom? Could my Feng Shui antenna have sensed things wrongly?
I had my Luo Pan with me but didn't take the sitting directions of the cafe. It didn't seem appropriate at that time.
A few days ago, I read of its owner having depression since she was a child.
Her parents fought often and after the divorce, she stayed with her mum and her mum's boyfriend's family.
She was only 9 years old when the father of her mum's boyfriend molested her. It was her second time being molested by an adult figure.
The old man orchestrated to first win her trust and reliance, when the old man offered to pick her up from school, as her mum worked long hours. Sometimes she had to wait 5 hours before her mum could picked her up.
Not once did she spoke a word about this to her mum. She didn't wanted to burden her mother who worked 3 jobs and being lonely and bullied in school, she was "wrongly" glad that someone wanted her.
Ever since such a turbulent childhood, she had never felt emotionally secure. When she broke up with her boyfriend of 6 years, she sunk further into clinical depression, feeling that she had lost her safety net in life.
One lady I knew had a father who molested her younger sister. Ever since she knew, she became very wary of him.
Once while she was sleeping, her father came up to her bed, on the pretext of covering her with the blanket.
She woke up in time before anything happened.
I also heard of a real-life story where all the 3 daughters were molested in turn by their father. I knew one of them.
None of them told their mother.
One day, the father died at his work site, due to a crane accident. At his funeral, the eldest daughter said coldly to his dead body that she would now forgive him.
Why do you think he died such a horrible death, my friend?
To all parents out there, as you send your children to one enrichment class after another, please do not neglect to teach your children about wolves.
Your children need to feel safe to confide into you.
You need to educate them what is unacceptable behaviour when it comes to their bodies.
The world is getting more dangerous.
Our children must be skilled in handling unexpected situations where trust is breached.
Don't assume it will never happen to your children.
If it does, I hope for the good of your common sense, that you will do what is necessary to protect your child. Don't sweep things under the blanket and jeopardize your child's emotional sanity for the rest of his/her life.
Bad things don't just happen to little girls. Little boys should be well-informed too.
If you fail in your protective duty as a parent, the first adult that a child trust, you will not be spared from the clutches of Yin punishment.
And if you are a wolf in a sheep's clothing reading this, wake up your idea and repent soon.
Even if the police is unable to arrest you,
no one gets away from Karma.
The consequences of your evil deeds will always haunt you, even in your next life and next next life, till the people you hurt get their revenge and you truly repent, never to repeat your misdeeds again.
