High Speed Train Accident 'Fixed'

The reported accident time was rewound 7 minutes back from 20:34 to 20:27. Weibo time stamp showed the accident had not happened at 20:27.

Perhaps so that the rail system would not look too bad for not knowing the train being rared had been sitting still on the track for too long.

It is also reported individuals of Wenzhou, primarily youth lined up at blood stations to help. Many luxury cars were seen parking nearby. The crowd waiting to donate blood caused multiple traffic congestion at Blood Centers in Wenzhou around midnight.

Observers were assured to see the 'spoiled generation' was also socially responsible.

Eye witnesses told reporters that all together 3 carriages fell under the high-rise bridge. Not even 24 hours after the accident, the carriages were already crushed and compressed by heavy equipment and buried at the scene. Some accused the move was to hide the real reason behind the collision.

@火狼现在已经有7、8辆挖土机抵达事故现场，在坠落的几节动车车厢旁挖了几个直径有10米左右的大坑，挖土机直接对车厢进行破拆，并将车厢的一些碎片进行碾压，然后推入坑中进行现场掩埋——我可以理解为毁灭证据吗？

Hong Kong based Phoenix TV showed many villagers living by the scene were saying there must be victims buried with the train. Villager accused the authority buried the train so that no body would know how many people died.

Phoenix TV has deep roots in Beijing, so the revealing could be read as a different voice within the regime. Mr. Zhang Dejiang, the vice premier, is the top official at the scene.

Officials announced the conclusion of rescue operation by 2:00 in the morning, less than 6 hours after the accident took place. Then heavy equipment moved in to crumble the carriage cars. A survivor was found around 5:00. Around 17:00 another surviving baby was found, after the carriage was pushed down 60 ft from the bridge by a heavy equipment.

RT @qhgy 王星WX：凌晨4点，央视新闻说现场没有生命体征了，搜救已经在2点多结束；5点，发现一名幸存者。7点，央视新闻说反复搜救没有生命体征了，现场开始切割车体、把竖在桥旁的车厢推倒……下午5点，又发现一名幸存者。心痛。此围脖已被删除。

In the official news press, the spokesperson Mr. Wang Yongping admitted they already buried part of the carriage, but promised to keep the rest. Reporters were not satisfied when Wang said the surviving baby was a 'miracle', and demand an answer as to why the carriages was ordered to be destroyed before searching for survivor. Wang simply repeated that the baby was a miracle without answer the question.

According to passenger on the two train. No rail employee showed up in the initial hours after the accident. The moral of the story is that when trapped in an accident, do not rely on government rescue. Actually, when you are in doubt whether you can make it, get out of their way and hide from government officials until you reach a safe place and announced your whereabouts to the world.

While Beijing insisted 35 passengers dead. Shanghai based Oriental Satellite reported from the scene a number of 63. Hospital staffs tweeted more than 100 had died.

Stunned but Not Surprised on Sack of Rail Minister

China's high speed rail system is more than impressive, to the extend that it almost like a miracle comes true overnight. It took less than 30 minutes to travel from Tianjin to Beijing, two cities 130 km apart. The great majority of China's high speed rail system are based on traditional wheeled technology, but it also includes first and only commercial meglev line in Shanghai which has been operating since 2004. A second longer distance meglev line is under construction. Anyone impressed by Nissan's Zoom commercial should watch the meglev train passing by: it zooms away in twice the speed without the zoom (sound).

In the past several years, and in the next several years to come, the annual spending on high speed rail system averages about $110B, far more than President Obama proposed to spend in the US in total. To give Liu some credits, the rail system was able to acquire and digest technology from all over the world in a short time, then compete against suppliers in France, Japan and Canada in the world market. In contract, China's auto industry has been cloning foreign cars for as long as people can remember (copying the Soviet in the 50s, German and Japanese in the 80s, and copying everyone including India since 90s), but still has not find its legs to stand on.

Not to say, people are stunned to hear the news of Liu being sacked. Liu had been busy inspecting operations all over the country because the Spring Festival migration rush (300 million people would travel twice in a period of 2 months, and they are traveling the same direction. There is an award winning documentary on this great migration: Last Train Home in case you are interested. It's subtitled and quite entertaining). A few hours earlier Liu was speaking on public TV, a few hours later, new Rail Minister moved in already.

The rational inference is that it's more of a public struggle that we still don't know the details. However, no one should be surprised if the government describe Liu as a corrupted criminal in the trail to come. The key of the communists' ruling in China, relies on illegally sharing treasure and resources. People in China often say that, and officials say this too, if all officials (we are talking roughly 10 million people here) were lined up and shot, some of them would have been wronged according to the Criminal Code; however, if half of them were shot, regardless how you picked them up, there would be some who escaped the law. The idea is that the communists rulers intentionally to encourage officials to break the law (otherwise, you will be kicked out of the political hierarchy), so that they will be loyal to the Party because only Party can protect them from being prosecuted. In other words, greed and fear of the 80 million Party members plus about the same amount of government officials is all that supports the regime at this time.
