A report says that the reason behind the tragedy is maintenance personnel remove part of the rail for maintenance without noticing the train driver. If true, this is rather ridiculous.

For those who live in the United States, this might be an exciting news. Don't miss it! I saw it once in 1996 but not a totality. Hope to see it again.
The picture is hugely misleading. It shows the moon was way too small that it is
The Moon's radius is roughly 1/4 of Earth .. so it should be way bigger in proportion to the Earth
Also Moon's distance to the Earth is roughly 30x the diameter of the Earth
It's just really a very poor picture

I notice you have seen the label "not to scale". It's fine, the picture is not important. What's important is the rare cosmos event. Human being usually don't live to see another full solar eclipse. So if you live in the United States, don't miss it!The picture is hugely misleading. It shows the moon was way too small that it is
