El historial negro del AVE en España: los accidentes de alta velocidad que han sacudido al país

The dark record of the AVE in Spain: the high-speed accidents that have shaken the country · AI machine translation of the original (es)

In plain words

  • ≠ Muertos: outlets give from 68 to 100. Most repeated figure: 68 (2 outlets). Latest published: 69 (Antena 3 Noticias, 29/10 20:35).

Same method for every outlet. A different figure may be an updated toll; a verdict needs an official figure.
