Stuck waiting for a signal for 7mins
Then Bang!
the next train hits you.

[Terrifying footage from INSIDE Salisbury
train crash: Passengers film immediate aftermath
of rail disaster after two trains slammed into
each other when 'major signal failure'
left derailed carriage a sitting duck for seven minutes

Around 17 people were injured last night when
a speeding train smashed into a second
one that had derailed
Around 100 passengers were on board the two trains,
which were approaching Salisbury, Wilts, at about 7pm
The 1708 Great Western service from
Portsmouth Harbour to Bristol Temple Meads
hit an object and derailed
Seven minutes later the 1720 South Western Railway
service from London Waterloo to Honiton collided with it
A rail worker tonight told MailOnline the signalling
system in the area should have stopped approaching trains
Firefighters, ambulance and Wiltshire Police raced
to the scene and escorted passengers down the tracks
Network Rail confirmed derailment wiped
out signalling for surrounding area
and has caused huge delays]
