To have had this many incidents compared to other HSR networks around the world gives all the signs of a classic case of normalisation of deviance.
Sadly we'll probably watch a lot of individuals being blamed/scapegoated for systemic issues, but hopefully even Spanish politics can organise a proper investigation after this many deaths in a single year.
Plenty if reports of lack of maintenance, overwork in all levels, blame culture, etc.
Also systems in place not trusted by the workers, which means they're used to bypass them.
It's a systemic failure.
