Thirty-nine people died when one train ran into the back of another, which had stopped on a viaduct near Wenzhou after lightning had cut its power supply. The system "failed to turn the green light into red", said An Lusheng, head of the Shanghai Railway Bureau. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, who called for a swift and transparent inquiry, has been visiting the crash site. He arrived in Wenzhou to see the area crash and meet relatives of the victims, the official news agency Xinhua reports. Mr Wen earlier promised to take steps to improve safety on the high-speed rail network - one of the government's flagship projects. Public anger The public have expressed outrage at the accident, and many people believe the government has mishandled the aftermath of the crash. Some relatives of victims, who include two Americans and an Italian, have reportedly refused compensation and demanded instead to be given answers. Chinese media have reportedly been ordered not to question the official line on the accident, but several newspapers have published editorials criticising the railway ministry, AFP news agency reports. In an unusually scathing editorial published in both its English and Chinese versions, the state-run Global Times on Wednesday contrasted the "bureaucratic" attitude of officials with a booming "public democracy" on the Internet, it notes.
