In the Far East overturned going from the DPRK to Chechnya train with state awards
The Pyongyang-Grozny special train, carrying a large batch of state orders and medals of the DPRK, derailed on the territory of the Trans-Baikal Territory. Precious insignia were scattered over an area of 3 km2 along the railway.
The train overturned on a turn due to exceeding the maximum permissible speed during such maneuvers: the driver was in a hurry to deliver a valuable cargo to the recipient on the territory of the Chechen Republic. As a result, all 11 cars collapsed sideways and rolled downhill, while the outer skin was damaged, and orders and medals crumbled on the rubble.
