There isn't that much detail in Turkish news sites at the moment, either.

It was a train new to service, though, and designed to be speedier than the usual. I don't know, nor does anyone seem to know at the moment, whether that was a factor.

To my knowledge I didn't have anyone in my family traveling on it, but friends... I don't know. I'd call hoome, but I guess no one would know either, at the moment. I think I'll wait a couple of hours.

Thanks for the thoughts.
