📰 Train dashcam shows truck on rail before collision in eastern Taiwan
🀄 火車行車記錄器顯示台灣東部發生碰撞前卡車在軌道上
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Data retrieved from the train that crashed near a tunnel in Hualien's Taroko Gorge on Friday (April 2) morning indicates the truck that slid down a slope was already on the rail before the fatal collision took place.
📌 台北 (台灣新聞) —週五 (4月2日) 早上從花蓮太魯閣峽谷隧道附近撞車的火車上檢索到的數據表明，在致命碰撞發生之前，滑下斜坡的卡車已經在鐵軌上。
Footage obtained from driving recorders on the southbound train suggests the truck appears to have rolled onto the train track prior to the incident. The driver of the train had less than 10 seconds to react and failed to hit the brakes in time, according to Hong Young (楊宏智), chairperson of the Aviation Safety Council (ASC), which is probing the cause of the tragedy.
📌 從南行火車上的行車記錄器獲得的錄像顯示，這輛卡車似乎在事件發生前就已經滾到了火車的軌道上。航空安全委員會 (ASC) 主席楊宏智 (Hong Young) 指出，火車司機的反應不及，不到10秒，無法及時剎車。
Taiwan Railways Administration pointed out the train was believed to be running at 130 kilometers per hour at the time and it would have taken 16.6 seconds and a distance of 600 meters for it to stop. The conditions did not allow this to happen, wrote CNA.
📌 台灣鐵路局指出，這列火車當時的時速是每小時130公里，要停下來就需要16.6秒和600公尺的距離。 CNA寫道，這樣的條件無法讓這種情況發生。
To determine when and how the truck got onto the rail and if its brakes had been properly engaged are the key questions in the investigation, Liberty Times quoted Young as saying.
📌《自由時報》引用Young的說法，要確定卡車何時以及如何駛上軌道以及手剎車是否有確實拉上是調查的關鍵。
Meanwhile, the driving recorder for the truck was retrieved on Sunday (April 4), which should be able to help paint a clearer picture of one of Taiwan's deadliest rail disasters in decades.
📌 同時，卡車的行車記錄器於週日 (4月4日) 被取回，這應該能夠為台灣幾十年來，最致命的鐵路災難之一的清晰圖像。
Separately, the Hualien high court has overturned the district court’s decision to release the owner of the truck, surnamed Li (李), on bail. Reasons include the defendant’s inconsistent statements and the fact that his criminal record for forgery had not been taken into consideration by the district court.
📌 另外，花蓮高等法院推翻了地方法院對李義祥(卡車所有人)交保的決定。原因包括被告的陳述不一致，以及地方法院未考慮到其偽造的犯罪記錄。
🙏 Life is full of uncertainty. May the departed souls rest in peace;
May the living be safe. It is time for solidarity as the nation grieves.
