    '4·28' Jiaoji Railway train collision kills 72 and injures 416

    On April 28, 2008, Jiaoji Railway trains T195 and 5034 collided, causing 72 deaths and 416 injuries. The investigation determined that chaotic management of speed-limit dispatch orders by the Jinan Railway Bureau was an important cause. Director Chen Gong was administratively removed from his post, Party secretary Chai Tiemin had his Party post revoked, and executive deputy director Guo Jiguang and five others were sentenced; in 2012, Chen and Chai's return to posts sparked controversy. Accountability, sentencing.
