Viareggio, la strage della sicurezza
policies of commercialization and privatization of the railways the criminals responsible
"I was in the bedroom - said Alessandro Del Lupo, Viareggio trader who lives near the railroad - I was closing the window when I heard the screech of brakes and I saw that from the freight train was passing a white cloud rose high. I realized later, had become suddenly and gas fire, a wall two hundred meters, I was thrown back, I heard at least three explosions after a the other. "
A massacre, a massacre of railway safety. Last night around midnight a freight train, consisting of 14 wagons and coming from La Spezia, derailed at the station of Viareggio. The train was carrying tanks full of gas and LPG cars also went to the impact against the town, two buildings collapsed, at least five buildings were severely damaged. The budget, however, is the most serious human grave: At least 15 are dead, 16 injured by burns, thirty missing. There are still people buried under the rubble of collapsed houses.
The freight train had departed from the refinery Sarpom Trecate of St. Martin in the province of Novara. The cars with the gas have been routed along the track which connects the refinery to the RFI network Novara and were engaged the convoy. Sarpom depart daily from the refinery with direct fuel cars in every part of Italy.
The reason is structural!
While Transport Minister Matteoli announced the appointment of a commission of investigation into the incident and the Civil Protection chief Guido Bertolaso \u200b\u200ba sling to his other appearance on the scene of the tragedy, should be clarifying the technical reasons that have led to the derailment of the freight train, "the failure of one of the first trolley rail tank cars." The derailed wagon was then pulled behind him four other cars, the derailment would cause leakage of LPG gas content in tank which then would be burned.
But the question also necessarily It must have looked beyond the single incident of last night, to the extent that the tragedy is not the cause of a structural problem that makes the current comeback indictment of privatization policies in the sector transport, then the weak and criminal misconduct in terms of safety.
Emblematic in this sense the words are strong and tough delivered by railway workers following the tragedy, which can be said (yet) bitterly "announced" in the light of the many signs and ignored problems that occurred in Viareggio. RSU-Rls Delegates of the National Railway workers, an organization composed of cross- da lavoratori iscitti a tutte le sigle sindacali, scrivono:
"La rottura di un asse di un carrello del vagone merci è un incidente tipico che non è stato mai tenuto nella giusta considerazione nonostante l'elevatissimo rischio connesso. Esso si è ripetuto innumerevoli volte, sempre fortunatamente con conseguenze meno gravi, da ultimo nei giorni scorsi sempre in Toscana, a Pisa S.Rossore ed a Prato"
"Il trasporto ferroviario è un servizio complesso in cui anche il più piccolo incidente, o guasto, può determinare immani tragedie e come tale va analizzato e preso, sempre, nella massima considerazione"
"Rinnoviamo la più ferma critica al gruppo dirigente delle Ferrovie che ha dirottato risorse e tecnologia sul servizio "luccicante" dell'alta velocità lasciando che il resto del servizio ferroviario, in particolare merci e pendolari, deperisse sia in termini di qualità che di sicurezza"
Le politiche criminali di Trenitalia
Incidenti quotidiani, ignorati dalla dirigenza delle ferrovie, attenta innanzitutto all'accumulazione di capitale, come irriverbilmente non potrebbe essere vista la politica di privatizzazione e mercificazione del settore dei trasporti. Utilizzo di materiali usurati e di bassa qualità, workers made redundant when punished and promoters of public complaints about working conditions, divestment on security policies and employment. One problem that obviously there is a waterfall and falls also on the passenger, a branch that should have social objectives, affects millions of people who use it daily, instead prerogatives have been lost as a result of those directly responsible for the tragedy of today, increntrando bounce all the "attention" on those services, as defined (above) "shining" by employees, such as Tab and Red Arrows ...
Meanwhile, rescuers are still working in Viareggio, digging through the rubble of collapsed buildings, emptying tanks anchors cariche di gpl. Il bilancio è drammatico, ma è amaramente aperto e destinato a salire con il passare delle ore. Che la procura di Lucca abbia aperto un'inchiesta, che la dirigenza delle ferrovie voglia quasi scolparsi sostenendo dell'origine straniera del carico, non può che essere un palliativo dinnanzi alla dimensione della strage e del problema, le responsabilità restono chiarissime e risapute.
