Deadliest accident this year

It would seem also that in addition to being the deadliest train accident in Africa in nine years, it is the deadliest train accident anywhere in the world this year so far (and, I would bet, it will turn out to be for the year as a whole_). Has any coverage noted this yet? Daniel Case (talk) 21:33, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Al Jazeera source

It appears that the source of footnote 4 of aljazeera link to two different archives with the same url but with a different archive. See: here and here. The source needs to be arranged properly, at least by making two different sources but one would have a missing url. I think Al Jazeera may have corrected their information with the same url (probably because the initial information was eithor incorrect or misleading or updated). Please discuss.Continentaleurope (talk) 22:46, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
