The accident in Germany that killed almost 30 people because of the crash with another train is nothing but human error. But the general opinion would be that it is not safe to travel in the Maglev trains because of the crash. The root cause of this according to CNN
Alexander Retemeyer, spokesman for the investigating prosecutors, said the probe into Friday's crash was focusing on likely human error as the cause and on why the train began moving with the 60-ton service vehicle still on the track.
He said maintenance workers are supposed to inform the control room when the vehicle has been taken off the track, and controllers must then ensure it is safely in its garage. Only then are controllers permitted to turn on the electrical power that allows the train's driver to start moving.
This may be a temporary setup of the technology moving in that direction but definetly not the end of it!
