A commuter rail train in Buenos Aires, Argentina, crashed into a station’s end-of-the-line barrier on Feb. 22, killing more than 40 and injuring 703. The suspected cause was brake failure, and a spokesman for the train workers’ union put the blame on the owners, Trenes de Buenos Aires, for “insufficient maintenance.” Argentina’s rail system is aging and in need of repair.
