According to German Police, according to a statement by its representative, the causes remain unclear, but the possibility of sabotage is already being considered.
Incegrity mechanism?
Early at noon, the first information on a fire that had occurred on rail network cables began to be released. According to information from the German DPA News Agency, the authorities are considering the possibility of an arson mechanism by strangers.
A passing train driver observed smoke coming out of the damaged cables and then sounded an alarm. German railway workers (DB) rushed to extinguish the fire, while the damage, as it became known, destroyed cables 60 meters long.
As German networks report, the fire that was not excluded from sabotage caused serious problems in the train to Berlin, Frankfurt Airport and Düsseldorf Airport.
