State media stated on Sunday that a bus collided with a train in Cuba. At least 28 people were killed and 73 others were injured, including 15 in critical condition. After the bus collided with the train, it got dragged to a bridge where it fell off. Cuba State media was reluctant to say anything about bloodshed and only put a small article in the paper about a bus collision. There aren't very many buses in Cuba and railroad crossings have very low visibility. At railroad crossings there is usually only one sign saying that there is a railroad crossing but no automated signs or lights.
I think it is sad that people died because of this. There really should be more warning signs and more visibility at railroads. Crossing railroads is dangerous enough with being able to see a ways, without being able to see is extremely dangerous. I think that signs should be posted stating where railroad crossings are, and one should be able to see down the tracks far enough to get across safetly. I feel bad for the families and friends of the people who died. It would be awful to lose someone special to you because of horrible roads and railroads.
