A broken axle is irrelevant until the investigation is complete. A broken axle could be a symptom and not a cause.

Regardless, the safety margin for any such disaster is not enough. Rail safety is lacking. The fact there are three derailments, at least one fatal is more than suspicious. I don't buy the fact three derailments are caused by increased use of rail services. That is an excuse. There is no excuse for this level of negligence or worse.
