minus-squaremholiv@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·2 days agoOk. Thinking explosives. Where are high speed trains being attacked by explosives? I don’t hear much in Germany, France, China, or Japan.
minus-squareThis is fine🔥🐶☕🔥@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 days agoDon’t jinx it. My point is once a terrorist attack happens, there will be TSA like checks for getting on high speed trains. My city (Mumbai) has seen multiple local train bombings so the newly built metro lines have baggage scanner at the entry.
minus-squareleftzero@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days ago Don’t jinx it. As I said in another reply, too late, by twenty-one years. And yet, no TSA-like bullshit.
minus-squaremholiv@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoCommuter trains aren’t high speed trains though.
minus-squareleftzero@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoTrue (though the AVE also stops at Atocha, as it did back in 2004). They also tend to carry more passengers, which means the number of victims was significantly larger than if it had been an AVE. And yet, your prediction of a nine-eleven-like security theater didn’t come to pass. 🤷♂️
minus-squaremholiv@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoI never predicted 9/11 security theater. That was someone else. I was saying the opposite. It isn’t needed and won’t happen.
minus-squareFizz@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·2 days agoThose countries arent full of Americans though. If a thing exists Americans will try to attack it.
minus-squareleftzero@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·2 days agoMadrid, 2004. Didn’t cause security theater, though. 🤷♂️
minus-squaremholiv@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 days agoThose are dense packed commuter trains from more than 20 years ago. Sort of the opposite of comfortable high speed long distance trains now days. If you search for “bomb train” you’ll get results but it might be worth looking deeper than the headline.
minus-squareleftzero@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days ago Those are dense packed commuter trains from more than 20 years ago So, even fucking worse when it comes to number of victims. If you search for “bomb train” you’ll get results I don’t need to search for it, it was all over the news for months. And yet, we got over it.
minus-squaremholiv@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoWe’re taking about high speed trains here. Independent of that, regarding attacks on commuter trains getting over it without American style tsa is a good thing.
