The Signalman Anomalies… Greek Train Crash Part 4

The Signalman Anomalies… Greek Train Crash Part 4

The government from the word get go has attempted to blame the employees involved in this and to get themselves away from the event scott free. How now a whole train system is allegedly dependent on one man is beyond belief in particular when that one man has been seen nowhere since the crash. We have heard his voice, seen his picture but have not seen a single video of him either being taken to court or into custody. All we know is his sister was in and out of the PMs office again in what capacity we have not been told. 

Signalman Anomalies 

The signalman completed his training on 24th January this year. 3 signalmen were supposed to be on his post that evening but he was alone. Various bits of information state the others were having some drinks late into the evening. 

So far from what we know there were two tracks one that goes upwards to Thessaloniki and one that goes downwards to Athens. The passenger train was travelling North to Greece’s second city, Thessaloniki and the freight train was travelling South to Athens. We do not know who had commissioned the freight train and what cargo it was carrying. We also know from the recorded speeches between the signalman responsible for the passenger train that he was forced to hold it on the upwards path for some time over 50m as allegedly the live wires were ripped off collapsing the electricity in part of the route and that at some point there after he switched to the downwards track before switching it back to the upwards track. 

This was stated at 23.41 in a conversation with the Controller Signalman from Athens in a conversation with the Signalman at Larissa (who was responsible for the passenger train).

The signalman blames the magnetic keys that they didn’t switch the wagon back to the upward track in dialogue circulated in the MSM. Why was he even given the job without actually having long term experience in a post whereby 80 trains a day passed? Another two signalmen were allegedly on call (arrested today) but left early leaving him in the lurch. So having stated he accepts ‘part responsibility’ for the crash why was the post not manned? Why didn’t the dashboard make noise that two trains are on the track? Is there a way to block the diversion of the train without the signalmans knowledge? 

Why was he allegedly over the age limit which was set at 45 for this post and he was nearer 60? He was appointed whilst ND was in power and what connection does the PM have with the family? Where is the family from? The signalman’s surname is Samaras just like the sisters. Are they related to the politician Samaras who brought down PM Mitsotakis fathers’ government in 1993? Another one of those weird coincidences which if it was one stinks that this was organised and in your face and someone is having a laugh at all of us. Why one week after the event is a secret being kept regarding this topic? We will eventually find out so the only explanation is damage control, wait till the families have buried their dead and then drip feed us with information. 

The issue is that whichever one looks at it if PM Mitsotakis doesn’t reveal info early on but keeps it hidden for others to reveal he will be labelled as politicising the tragedy to his own political advantage and if he does reveal a connection will go down even faster. Either which way he is burnt politically but when will he jump or be pushed is what is at stake here.

But we have another problem. PM Mitsotakis was recently revealed to be using Israeli spyware to spy on politician’s so he knows exactly what they are up to beforehand and can act accordingly. 

The engines of the trains according to a blogger contain 2.5tonnes of light oil and there are 3 engines parts so around 7.5tonnes and with the speed they are travelling at 160km/h for the passenger train and 90km/h for the freight train with 25,000volts on the overhead cable it isn’t hard to see that a fireball engulfed more than one train wagon… 

So if it was a human error it cant be down to one person as the system isn’t run on one person alone and it would be ridiculous to believe that it was. They employed part time signalmen as well on non-permanent contracts. The driver of the passenger train also allegedly tried to contact the signalman Vasilis Samaras but had communication issues as there are dead zones in the journey. But zooming up the wrong track when the Greek rail system has ‘ghost trains’ is abominable on all counts and shows a trusting relationship between drivers signalmen beyond what one could consider ‘normal’. 

Such an event if an organised provocation takes meticulous planning and the signalmen, trackworkers, drivers etc would have noticed some strange events occurring without realising what precisely at least one month before. One of the reasons none of them appear in the media to not be asked too many questions and contradict the official story: human error. When we all know it is systemic error with or without the element of direct provocation. 

Botched privatisation where the major costs of running the railway rely on the state and where the cash flow is handed over to a private train company. They wouldn’t have been able to do that if they had to pay to upkeep the train tracks and now they have dead on their hands….. 

Blood has been spilt and the Government of Murderers needs to go asap…
