“In the conclusion of our first three-member committee of experts on the accident in Tempe, it is pointed out that deficiencies and mistakes were found,” he stressed to SKAI Ioannis Chalkias honorary chairman of the legal council of the state and chairman of the then committee of experts.

As he mentioned, in the conclusion it is emphasized that there were also points that they could not investigate, such as the subject of the fire for which they need special knowledge.

Mr. Chalkias spoke about human errors, of the train station master, but also of those who placed these people in these positions with insufficient training.

He also appreciated that the conclusion was not carefully read by those interested in the examination, while he added that people who were not examined should be examined.

He also spoke about 5 contracts and not just the 717 for the modernization of the signaling system, which were slow and had many extensions, noting that “if the contracts had been completed, the accident would not have happened, no matter how many human errors had been made” .
