German police sources revealed more details of the emergency that shocked inhabitants, authorities and media around the world. “The only train that stopped correctly did not stop in the area of the station where people normally get on or off, but more or less on the first floor, and as a result, the second train arrived.”said an official spokesman.
Despite the stir generated and the great deployment of resources of the rescue operation, some park visitors who were at the time of the incident stated that they never realized what was happening.
