A Chinese bullet train collided with another train, and two of its cars fell off a bridge. At least 16 passengers were killed and 89 others injured. Fortunately, the train wasn't moving at its full speed when it derailed. It had pulled to a stop on the bridge when lightning struck, knocking out its power. Another train then hit it from behind, pushing its cars off the bridge.
