IC 2022

It’s about half past ten. I’m in the train (IC 2022) from Bonn back to Bremen.

At the moment we’re about 70min92min delayed because of a deadly acci­dent some­where between Osnab­rück and Bre­men. In the small town Bas­sum the 400 pas­sen­gers of the train involved in the acci­dent were trans­ferred to our train, so it’s quite crowded now as you can see on the pic­ture on the right.

Then I acci­dent­ally thought “Well, most of the pas­sen­gers seem to be about to attend the Kirchentag in Bre­men and it was their train that took one’s life…”

But well, it’s actu­ally the fault of this now less alive per­son. Poor chief guard, some­thing like this must be a really hor­rible experience…
