This is awful. That poor elder that died...and the survivors must feel terrible too. At least when he wakes up he'll be there in the new system.

Yes, how very sad to hear about our brother's passing and all affected.  I didn't even hear about this train crash on the news.  Seems it occurred at the same time as a collapse of a section of the main highway between Yaounde and Douala amid heavy rain earlier, blocking hundreds of vehicles on the road and prompted increased numbers of passengers to make the journey by rail.  So more difficult times ahead as they are also investigating how much if any human error was involved. http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2016/10/23/cameroon-train-crash-death-toll-tops-70
