Police charge two men in connection with Eurocity train crash

The police on Friday filed charges against two civil engineers who were in charge of the reconstruction of a bridge that collapsed onto the rail tracks near the town of Studénka last Friday causing a train accident in which seven people were killed and dozens more injured. The police say the two engineers knew the static of the bridge was impaired and did not take sufficient measures to prevent it from collapsing on the tracks. If found guilty, they could spend up to ten years in jail.
