Tempi Train Disaster: Black Box Found But Disabled Since 2018

Revelations continue to emerge regarding the devastating train collision in Tempi that claimed the lives of 57 people. Live News has uncovered new details about the investigation, including a shocking discovery concerning the black box of the freight train. According to findings, the black box, eventually located after searches near Kouleri, had recorded no data since it was disabled back in 2018. On Thursday, March 13, 2025, specialized fire department ladders and an engineering professor from NTUA, sworn in as a judicial expert, examined break points on the second engine of the freight convoy. They are investigating whether these fragments were severed by an explosion or the collision itself. Meanwhile, three additional witness statements have been submitted today concerning the rail tragedy in Tempi, including testimonies from two firefighters and a police officer regarding the unloading and reloading operations at the site. Further revelations suggest that authorities were aware of the debris relocation to the ‘Pigadia’ site months before official acknowledgment, raising questions about delayed responses. The mother of Vaios Vlachos confirmed through official documents that the contractor responsible for debris removal had already informed investigative authorities two months prior. Locals reportedly knew the exact location where the debris was dumped, with some claiming the process was expedited with under-the-table payments.
