Brüssel. Ein Lokführer übersah ein Stoppsignal - die Folge war eine Katastrophe: Bei der Kollision von zwei Vorortzügen sind gestern in der Nähe von Brüssel mindestens 18 Menschen ums Leben gekommen. 162 Menschen erlitten zum Teil schwere Verletzungen.

Die Wucht des Aufpralls war so stark, dass die ersten Waggons aus den Schienen sprangen und aufgeschlitzt wurden. Viele Belgier reagierten schockiert auf das neue Unglück: Erst Mitte Januar war in Lüttich ein Haus explodiert - 14 Menschen starben.
