Artyom Kol tells the chronology of events and gives evidence of eyewitnesses to the collision of two trains that happened on the night of April 9, 2017.
Emergencies street generators this night were the main violators of silence on the 9th kilometer of the Belarusian railway, on which, according to Russian Railways, at 22:40 Moscow-Brest took place.
“At 10:03 we drove off, stopped somewhere after 19 minutes and stood for a long time on the Kuntsevo-Fili bridge, about 15-20 minutes. Because there was always a red light on. After a while we felt a strong blow. The light went out, smoke began ", - says the passenger train" Moscow - Brest "named Elena.
Piles of twisted metal and broken wires are the consequences of a collision of two trains. According to preliminary data, as a result of the accident, several electric train cars went off the rails, the locomotive of the long-distance train was badly damaged. After providing first aid to the injured, the Moscow-Brest train returned to Belorussky Train Station.
“The train was towed to the Belorusskaya metro station. There will be a re-arrangement, and in the future the train will be bypassed in the Kiev direction to the Brest destination station,” says Ilya Denisov, head of the Russian Ministry of Emergencies in Moscow.
After the first reports of the collision, EMERCOM officers who started work on clearing the railroad track were at the scene. Toward night, the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Vladimir Puchkov arrived at the scene, who personally examined the piles of wrecked wagons.
“More than 200 people and 70 pieces of equipment work in the emergency zone. We are specifying a schedule for restoring the planned work of electric trains. It is planned that by morning we will start all electric trains,” said Russian Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov.
According to preliminary information, the cause of the collision was the failure of the braking system of the train. This was reported by passengers of the electric train. At first, the train braked sharply, and then rolled back.
"The mechanic came, started to pull the stop crane. The stop crane did not work. Then the driver came and told everyone to go to the first car. They started to drive people out. The driver was preparing for a collision right away, because he knew that there was still a train standing on the back of the tracks ", - recalls a passenger train named Ekaterina.
At this moment, a collision occurred. The investigators still call the human factor the main cause of the incident.
According to the preliminary version, the incident was due to. It is not surprising: after all, the railway is located in a densely populated area of \u200b\u200bMoscow. There are no barriers here. On one side of the railway there is a night club, where on Saturdays there are a large number of people, and on the other side there are multi-storey residential buildings.
This is the case when they say: "The popular path will not overgrow." Here you can clearly see the path that leads through the garages to the railroad track through which the locals walk. Here someone was trying to install fences, put up barbed wire grilles. But all this, of course, does not work, and local residents walk freely through the railway.
The Investigative Committee has already begun verification of the collision. It is possible that a criminal case will be instituted. And by morning it was already restored.

“Everything fell, circles, glass. Many hit, some against the wall, some against some ledges. The staff quickly responded to everything that was happening. There were doctors and the Ministry of Emergencies, the conductors reacted immediately, ”the girl recalls.
Five people, including the train driver, still remain in hospitals. The rest received medical and psychological assistance directly in the cars. And already at about three in the night the train was hooked up to another locomotive, and he went to Brest by a bypass route.
The Belarusian direction for several hours was completely blocked. The situation was reported to Vladimir Putin. The President instructed to eliminate the consequences of the accident as soon as possible. Until late at night, passengers who were unable to leave by commuter trains delivered buses. And the schedule of some long-distance trains had to be adjusted.
“The four trains that have been delayed now, I set the task for the railway, so that they could be sent quickly and efficiently by bypass lines, including organizing informing people about the schedule and time of arrival,” said Russian Minister for Emergency Situations Vladimir Puchkov.
A special commission is now establishing the causes of the accident. Meanwhile, Belarusian trains have been on schedule for several hours now. This information was confirmed in the press service of Russian Railways. All the mangled wagons were removed from the tracks with the help of emergency recovery trains and cranes.
