The_DADDY Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 France’s high-speed rail network has been hit by coordinated “malicious acts” including arson attacks that have brought major disruption to many of the country’s busiest rail lines hours before the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. The state-owned railway operator, SNCF, said arsonists had targeted installations along the lines connecting Paris with the country’s west, north and east and that traffic would be severely disrupted across the country during the weekend. “This is a massive attack on a large scale to paralyse the TGV network,” the SNCF told Agence France-Presse, adding that many routes would have to be cancelled and the situation would last “at least all weekend while repairs are conducted”. The national train operator said it had been “the victim of several simultaneous malicious acts overnight”, adding that the attacks affected its Atlantic, northern and eastern lines. Crucial cables had been cut and burned. “Arson attacks were started in order to damage our facilities,” the SNCF said, adding that traffic on the affected lines was “heavily disrupted”. A further attack was averted on the south-eastern line, French media reported. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/26/vandals-target-french-rail-network-olympics-opening-ceremony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Bundy Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 It's so sad that the world can't just enjoy a spectacle or massive event anymore without some miserable losers trying to ruin it for everyone else. What a pathetic spoilt brat of a world we now live in. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogets Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Just think how easy it would be to bring the entire rail and motorway network to a halt Wouldn't take many to stand in the middle of the M1, maybe 4 people near junction 29 could cause havoc all the way from Leeds to Nottingham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
