As Ioannis Chalkias mentioned, the conclusion emphasizes that there were also points that they could not investigate, such as the issue of the fire for which they need special knowledge.
Ioannis Chalkias spoke about human errors, of the station master train drivers, but also of those who placed these people in these positions with insufficient training.
“The finding was not carefully read by those concerned in the inquiry committee”
The honorable chairman of the state legal council also appreciated that the finding was not carefully read by the stakeholders in the committee of inquiry in the House while adding that people should be examined, who were not examined.
Finally, Ioannis Chalkias also spoke about five contracts and not only “717” for the modernization of the signaling system, which were delayed and had many extensions, noting characteristically that “if the contracts had been completed, the accident would not have happened, as many human mistakes had been made.”
