Transport chief blames federal railways for Gotthard derailment
This content was published on
As a freight carrier, the Swiss Federal Railways’ cargo division is responsible for the accident in the Gotthard base tunnel.
However, the very large number of reports from aviation does not mean that aviation has become less safe. More and more people are being flown, and events are becoming more frequent.
STSB received five reports of incidents from ocean shipping. No investigations were opened and no reports published.
Last year STSB opened 42 investigations and 24 detailed and 32 summary investigations were completed together with the publication of an interim report on an ongoing investigation. STSB issued 13 safety recommendations and seven safety notices.
