A Terrifying Smash-up
A dreadful thing happened last week. One of the fastest express trains of the whole Russia, Nevsky Express, which was going from Moscow to Saint-Petersburg and having more than 600 passengers on its board was blew up. At 9:34 pm, when train was going somewhere near Aleshinka – Uglovka towns, 7 kilos of TNT which were buried under the tracks detonated and as a result of which the train was derailed.
Two last cars of the train were derailed and underwent heavy damages because they were pulled along the tracks for more than 500 feet. Two hours after when the crew of medics and policemen were inspecting the scene of the accident and rescuing injured people, the second bomb detonated. Such a method of “Double blowing-up” is very popular thing among North-Caucasian militants and investigators assume that this act of terrorism was their work of their hands.
As a result of the accident more than 25 people were killed, more than 90 injured and 6 are unaccounted for. And these are just the official figures. Such a big number of casualties and injured people was originated because the train was an express one and could pick up the speed of 150 miles per hour. All the seats in the train were sitting ones and it led to such a high number of victims.
Such a case of train blowing-up is not first in the history of Russia. For the past 6 years two similar express trains circulating from Saint-Petersburg to Moscow and vice versa suffered identical accidents. But back then death toll was not so astonishing high as it is now and it makes this very case to be the biggest and the cruelest act of train terrorism in the history of modern Russia.

Damn…
Plane carash, car crash, ship crash and now train crash, is there any means of safe transportation in Russia
North-Caucasians… according to inside investigators it’s Russian ultra-nationalists, using this method to create hatred against Caucasians.
Hey, BS Troll Trash!
Accident is wrong work. This was an attack.
Also many complaints about help: old woman was stuck for 2 hours before being rescued by firebrigade… all the time uniformed police man were just standing there, looking at victims and discussing something instead of helping. Corrupted bastards.
Who is your source for this particular information?
Look at the pictures retard, have you ever been to Russia?
GFY grandmother!
We want to read the complaints ourselves dumbA55!
LOOK there are NO pictures of the complaints you 5tupid pathetic latvean piece of 5hit!
Here you go again trying to create something out of nothing just so you can fight with someone who happens to like Russia and Russians and are proud to have Russian Blood coursing through their veins!
Get over it or GFY!
There are no pictures of complaints you idiot latvian piss of shit!
If you have a source, present it!
You should have no problem with that if you are telling the truth!
Dont act like a moron, the whole Russia is a source of that information, go live there for a while and you will see.
You look very afraid to present your source because your not telling the truth and you don’t have one!
Lol you do very good work. Then she do not know you change between you. She make this wrong comment. She is wrong.
Thank You Mimi.
Cowards…very typical of terrorists.
Yes, you are correct!
Who ever did this is cold blooded cowards who wouldn’t know what honor was if it bit them in their filthy stinking butts!
May they all rot and suffer in Hell for eternity!
The FSB must want to go after someone so they bomb more innocent Russians.
Where are you from Robert?
Guess it is much easier for the terrorists to attack a train than an aircraft.
IIRC, the official statement was that they used “a homemade explosive” (probably ANFO?) equal to 7 kg of TNT, not TNT.
Find the terrorists and strap them to the train track.
I travelled on that track this year,im shocked.
-I hate those terrorists-
This was a cowardly attack by muslim terrorists.
Are you in so hurry????don`t prejudge the sad “incident”.this act of “terror” is also the example of bad old tactic of “counter measure” against the enemy of the state.soon or later we will know about the “terrorists”.also i pay the respect to all of those who lost their lives in “operation,code name;erbant3″ or sad train accident.
BS Troll Trash!
You right Musa. Make mockery of this terrible bombings and killings tells all of us of those mental issues you have! Go get you some help you wrong!
Heshe definitely has some mental issues!
now i’m worried..afraid too!
which route should i take now?
land or air.???
Heard about that. fuking terrorists, hurting my ppl
This is sickening to see this and know it was all done deliberately.
It would of been bad enough if it were just an accident.
May these people who died rest in peace.
My heart goes out to their family and friends.
No mercy for those that did this. I hope the Spetsnaz or Secret Police can catch them and give them good punishments.
Freedom for Cechnya!
Russian occupant out!
How much russian killing chechen children and women ower 200 yesra?
You are animals!
“You are animals!”
You are the animal and the hypocrite.
If the people who did this lived here in Rio de Janeiro, they would not be penalized so harshly. On the contrary, after some years of sentence they probably would be free to spend the day in the streets, robbing banks, killing people, selling crack and shooting down police helicopters with military weapons, and then just return to jail at night to sleep.
There are far more appropriate words and ways to voice your opinion Jason!
Thank You Moderator!
Are you picking on me because you life is so booring right now?
Quit being a trouble maker kiddo
You are paranoid!
GFY Jason!
I am Musa!You have always been replying to me
ehm, I see… do you have any moments of lucidity at all?
LOL,I was joking Taup.Can we be friends again?
hmmm… We’re going out shopping right now.
We’re trying to figure out a way Mimi can go online easily and not have to type as much.
She loves looking at the pictures online.
Do you have any ideas Jason?
Well the only thing I could think of is to see if your Crackberry can bookmark this site.I don’t like to surf the web on a cell phone so I don’t know much about it.I always use my home pc because the internet looks better on it.Also I have a new email adress because the old one I was using was putting my comments under moderation.I just got Comcast high speed so no more slow dialup.
Sorry I called you and Musa a dingaling.You both have IQs much above 20
The CrackBerry is really too small for her also.
Mimi is Musa’s step-grandmother but she raised Musa’s mother since she was almost 3 years old so they’re close. And she lives with Musa’s family.
Musa’s step-father doesn’t like anyone using his computer. And that’s his business, not ours.
That’s why we’re looking for one.
Wow you know Musa?I bought my Dell online for around $520 with free shipping.Check it out at different times because the good deals always change.
Musa’s my roommate.
We’re looking online at one Dell PC on sale til morning!
Thanks.
it is a shame to do these things which aiming at civilians！
damn coward terrorists！
wish russian friends live in harmony
要是有胆量的话就光明正大的出来单挑，这样的针对平民的行为真是懦夫所为！！
狗娘养的恐怖分子！！！

say thx to kgb
The derailment is unfortunate. If it’s the result of an attack, doubly so, though one has to wonder…
Russians! Join with us to kill all the Muslim terrorists! They are our common enemy!
Muslim terrorists??? What is the point of killing them if they are supported by our goverments?
BS Troll Trash as well!
Let the old drag hag be known!
Matilda! That’s hilarious!
That’s horrible.
Yura - It would be an honour to join [others], to stand up for a country that is in trouble. Unfortunately, i am not in Russia - you could say that at some point of time i chose my personal comfort and well being over the needs of my homeland - but i can contribute ideologically and in many “other” ways; we are capable of putting up a good fight and a good fight is due.
A “successful” FSB operation.congratulation! ! ! ! !
BS Troll Trash too!
Nice job Musa!
High Five HeHe!
I hope the Russian people can catch the criminals responsible.
No amount of terrorism will ever make us give in. It’s just not possible. When terrorists murder unarmed women and children, they don’t make us afraid, they make us angry.
Remember - one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. Nelson Mandela was a terrorist
Can someone tell us about the “state terrorism”?when governments act ruthless,inhuman,above the all universal laws violations,no one cry on that.murder is murder,no matter what did it.state terrorism is the key factor to do counter insurgensy and “terrorism”.bring the all to justice and safe the world.
Its funny how before the attacks on the London tube, British people/press referred to these extremists as ‘rebels’, now they are terrorists.
150mph train??? I don’t think so… That is in France and the Bullet in Japan.
It’s not the point, i know.
This is a terrible catastrophe!
No matter who did it, please accept my sympathies from the US.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was an inside job again.
I had a 50/50 chance of being on that train.
I was deliberating between 1 week in Italy and then 1 week in Saint-Petersburg for my vacation (first in 2 years) or 1 week in StPete and then to Italy. Glad I chose the former.
Weird how the terrorists chose the absolutely best-maintained train in all of Russia and the best-maintained track… target the celebrities for more impact, huh, punks?
If they choose other train no=one will notice damage. Train already damaged. Also most trains do not run on time, so it hard to plan bombing! Those nationalists know how Russia works! That is why they are nationalists ! And I call them moron!!
Wow, just awful! I have taken that train in the past it was a nice to Moskiva. I hope they find the evil guys who did this.
the human race, its a shame we kill our own kind like this.
I was ready to label this hippie nonsense when I first started reading, but it makes a hell of a lot of sense.
Be cautious.. Every violent act in thought, word, emotion,etc only gives birth to another violent act - it´s literally a cosmic law. Only establishing divine peace in our hearts&minds will deliver peace around us. Every crime must be punished, but, for the sake of our children´ future, try to live according to divine laws, not politicians-written. Yogananda showed an example, just to mention one.. Greetings to all Slavic brothers and sisters from Croatia.
A very appropriate choice from the website authors to remove the slogan “just because something cool happens daily on 1/6 of the Earth surface.”
