Spanish Train Crash: Control Center Ordered AVE to Resume Despite Stalled Train Ahead

Audio recordings reveal that the control center at Atocha ordered the AVE engineer to resume normal movement despite a stalled Iryo train ahead, violating protocol requiring 40 km/h speed limit. Five minutes before the collision, the control center was aware the train ahead was still stopped but failed to warn the AVE engineer to brake. This points to systemic procedural failures in rail traffic management, raising questions about accountability and safety protocols.
