video fails to deliver

Passengers on the London Tube barely escaped with their lives when a defective train with no driver broke away and sped through six stations without stopping. Circle round and hear the harrowing tale of London's ghost train of death. The runaway train was an engineering vehicle that carried supplies for Tube workers, and its rolling rampage started at 7AM. The ghost train raced four miles and blew through six stops before it came to a halt; several passenger trains narrowly avoided collision by speeding through stops and diverting to other lines to get away from it. It's still unclear what caused it to malfunction. But at least no injuries were reported.

Someone's going to get railed for this.

Maybe the driver fell asleeper on the controls, or maybe he was just angry? I wonder what his locomotive would be and if the police are trying to track him down
