A WORLD WIDE
PROBLEM? SEE BELOW A RECENT ACCIDENT IN CHILE.
SOURCE: THE NEWSPAPER
"EL MERCURIO" FROM FEBRUARY 19, 1998.
-
AS IN MANY OTHER OCCASIONS,
LIKE IN THIS, UNEXPECTED CIRCUMSTANCES CAN CREATE FATAL SITUATIONS, FOR
EACH ONE OF US.
-
THE EXTENSION OF THE DAMAGES
DO NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENT A VERY HIGH SPEED, SINCE THIS CAN BE BETTER
EXPLAINED BY THE REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE IN ENERGY ABSORBING CAPABILITIES
FROM THE TWO SURFACES IN CONTACT.
-
WHAT IS CERTAIN IS THAT IF
THERE WERE RELIABLE, OR AUTHENTIC UNDERRIDE GUARDS, THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
INTRUSION WOULD BE AVOIDED , WITH MUCH LESS SEVERE CONSEQUENCES.
WHAT ABOUT
THE UNDERRIDE GUARDS IN CHILE
ARE THEY EFFICIENT
AND CORRECT
IT IS NOT NECESSARY
TO BE AN EXPERT TO SEE THE ABSOLUTE IRRESPONSIBILITY OF THE TRUCK OWNERS
SEE PHOTOS TAKEN IN FEBRUARY
1998
IN ALL THESE PHOTOS, AND
ALSO IN ALL TRUCKS OBSERVED DURING A TRAVEL IN FEBRUARY 1998, THERE WERE
ABSOLUTELY NO PROTECTION FOR CAR PASSENGERS, LIKE IN MOST OF THE COUNTRIES
.
THIS "" IS KILLING PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, AND MAY BE THE EXPLANATIONS
ARE ALSO UNIVERSAL: IGNORANCE, CARELESSNESS, NEGLIGENCE...
TRAFFIC AUTHORITIES KNOW
ABOUT IT BUT THEY PRETEND TO IGNORE, WHAT IS CRIMINAL BECAUSE THIS COULD
BE AVOIDED IF THERE WERE POLITICAL WILL, AND JUSTICE SUPPORT AGAINST THE
TRUCKING INDUSTRY LOBBY.
QUESTIONS?
-
WHAT ARE THESE "GUARDS" FOR?
-
WHO ESTABLISHED THE "STANDARDS"
FOR THESE FAKE GUARDS?
-
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO RULE
ABOUT FAKE SAFETY DEVICES?
-
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER AN ACCIDENT
LIKE THE ONE FROM THE NEWSPAPER PHOTO?
