That's fairly easy. Their head gets thrown through a window as that side
of the tram is sliding sideways, and gets cut off as it slides over one
of the rails.

As for the hoax theory, what about the staff and other patients at the
hospital, were they all under NDA too?

David Icke is usually for entertainment value only , but this is just

teeth over this one.


Incitement to violence. That's illegal.

I recall a film may years ago where mysterious glass objects were found at the sites of major
disasters e.g. plane crashes. These were thought to be alien in origin and everyone thought the
earth was under attack.

The perpetrators turned out to be people profiting from the scare, they did not cause the disasters
but just got someone to plant a glass ball at a disaster site.

If you question the varacity of the conspiracy theory you're obviously in on
the conspiracy! Or at least thats how these paranoids think.

I'm not familiar with braking systems on that system.


If the driver's asleep, there aren't any.


Maybe he wasn't asleep but listening to the news and
fainted when he heard the American election results...?

Hate crime is a big and fuzzy umbrella. Incitement to violence is a nice
concise offence.

Is there not some sort of ATP or speed control system in such an event
on the Tramlink? IIRC, there are timed signals along the line.

TPWS-for-trams, anyone?

The latest from the BBC is that it was a Wimbledon-bound train that
derailed after taking a 12mph corner too fast. Explains why the driver
has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. They are also
investigating if he was asleep. Apparently trams aren't fitted with
devices to apply the brakes if travelling too fast.


but, according to the BBC, they are fitted with devices that apply the
brakes if the driver falls asleep

Ever stranger and stranger

Not dissimilar to the incident in Hoboken, in one sense.
