Human error' may have caused German train crash, media say


German authorities were on Tuesday investigating how two commuter trains collided head-on, leaving at least 10 dead and dozens injured, despite having been fitted with automatic braking systems to prevent such accidents.

German media reports said Wednesday that human error was likely to blame for the high-speed crashnear the southern spa town of Bad Aibling, when one of the trains sliced into the other and ripped a hole in its side.
But German police rejected the reports as "pure speculation". "Discard that, we reject that," a spokesman told local broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk.
Newspaper group RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschand (RND), citing sources close to the investigation, said a signalling station worker had manually disactivated the automatic signalling system to let the first train – which was running late – go past. The second train then forged ahead on the same track in the opposite direction, before the first was able to split off where the line divides into two.
The Bild newspaper reported that manually disabling the signalling would have disactivated the automatic braking systems.
Police said they were no longer looking for a missing person in the train crash that has killed 10 and injured dozens in a rural area in southern Germany. Police spokesman Stefan Sonntag said Wednesday that after contacting all hospitals in the region, authorities concluded that there was nobody missing after Tuesday's crash.

Shocking new ISIS video shows four-year-old British boy dubbed 'Jihadi Junior' blowing up four alleged spies in a car bomb

The four year old British boy dubbed 'Jihadi Junior' has been filmed detonating the bomb which kills four ISIS prisoners in the group's latest execution video.
Isa Dare, the son of Muslim convert Grace 'Khadija' Dare from south east London, pushes the button that blows up four alleged spies sitting in a white car behind him.
Standing triumphantly next to the charred remains of the car, his hand raised to the sky, the boy then yells: 'Allahu Akbar.'
It is the second time the young boy, who was brainwashed after his mother took him to Syria three years ago, has appeared in one of the extremists' propaganda videos.

His grandfather told of how the child begged him to save him just days before he was forced to appear in the first video last month.
In what was seen as a 'promotion' of this latest murderous release, Dare was made to declare: 'We are going to kill the kuffar [non-believers] over there' - before pointing to the men killed in today's video.
Today's video, which is believed to be shot in ISIS's de facto capital of Raqqa, was entitled: 'They are the enemy so be aware of them.'
One by one, each man confessed to either spying on, or conspiring against, ISIS. They were later seen handcuffed to the inside of a car - with a look of utter fear in their eyes.
Before they were killed, the senior ISIS commander standing next to the boy threatened British Prime Minister David Cameron for arming the terror group's enemies in Syria.
He said: 'You will never fight us except behind fortified fortresses or behind walls.
'So no David Cameron, you’ve given the whole world more certainty in this [inaudible]. You’ve only done two things.

Saying ‘I love you’ during sex is the thing that is most likely to make you and your partner feel satisfied.
A study has found that talking about love whilst in bed beats foreplay and wearing sexy lingerie to ensure you have a good time.
Some 75 per cent of satisfied men said ‘I love you’ whilst they had sex and 74 per cent of satisfied women did the same.
The study, one of the largest of its kind to date, involved an online survey which got tens of thousands of responses.
Scientists from Chapman University in the US analyzed the answers of 39,000 married or cohabitating heterosexual men and women who had been with their partner for at least three years.
The average age was 40 years old for women and 46 years old for men.
The results showed that the more a couple communicates during sex, the more satisfied they are going to be.
Things which improved love making included; praising your partner for something they did in bed and asking your partner for something you want.
Talking on the phone or by email during the day about sex also ensured that they had a good time in bed.
