28.10.2026 ⇢ The Day 68 Died in the Urda Train Crash
⌨

Early coverage still tracked Israel, where Netanyahu emerged ahead but short of a majority and dependent on Arab parties to be overtaken. That receded by mid-morning when reports of a high-speed collision between Los Yébenes and Urda took over all front pages.

Initial figures spoke of injuries and two wagons down an embankment after a Renfe AVE struck an Iryo on the Madrid-Andalusia line, suspended immediately. Tolls climbed through the day from 10 to 30, then 64 and 68 dead with more than 180 injured, including former minister Fátima Báñez.

Attention shifted from rescue to cause: Transport Minister Óscar Puente called the crash 'inverosímil' and pointed to an erroneous clearance from the Adif control centre, with audio ordering 'reanude con marcha normal' for 25 km without alert. Sánchez promised measures after a second crash after Adamuz, while Feijóo demanded governmental and judicial inquiries.
