Talk:List of TGV accidents

Fatalities
The introduction for this article states that there have been no fatalities on TGV trains, but at the end of the introduction for TGV, it says (emphasis added): "The TGV is generally a safe mode of transport, but there have been accidents; there have been train passenger fatalities twice from collisions and once due to terrorism, but nothing like the Eschede train disaster." Which one of these are correct? -- Imperator3733 (talk) 02:21, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Both. The article states "The safety figures for the TGV system are exceptional; there have been no fatalities in high-speed operation since service started in 1981.". All the deaths happened on low speed lines, which are not as well protected as high speed lines (high speed lines are fenced off, they have no level crossings and so on).

Terrorism
This page says: "31 December 1983: Terrorist bombing [...] Injuries: 5 dead, 50 injured". TGV says "31 December 1983: A bomb allegedly planted by the terrorist organisation of Carlos the Jackal exploded on board a TGV from Marseille to Paris; two people were killed.". Which is correct.

 * Ah, the TGV page says 2 people were killed on the TGV, so, the other 3 were killed at Marseilles. HughesJohn (talk) 14:05, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
