And about Tibet’s railway, a train derailed on last Tuesday, disrupting the line for five hours and delaying thousands of passengers. The railway operates in areas of frozen earth, which researchers fear could melt as winter temperatures rise in coming decades and affect operations. It seems that it’s the origin of this accident.
In a separate incident, a 77-year-old tourist from Hong Kong on the railway, which reaches altitudes of more than 5,000 metres (16,400 feet), died earlier this month from altitude sickness.

And that’s a surprise to learn that the main building of the SMP skatepark is equipped with solar panels atop the roof which have an electricity generation capacity of 50 kilowatts, enough for most of the building’s lights (see page 10).
