Casualties reported include 24 dead and 160 injured.〔〔 Early reports suggested a power surge or a terrorist attack to be the cause of the derailment, but both were soon dismissed. This accident was the deadliest ever recorded in the history of the Moscow metro system, and the second to occur due to a technical failure (after the 1982 Aviamotornaya escalator accident). ==Background== The Moscow Metro, being one of the busiest in the world and serving up to nine million passengers on a daily basis, covers of route and includes at least 194 stations. Despite having a reputation for reliability, the system has been increasingly suffering from mismanagement, cost-cutting practices, poor maintenance and outages in recent years. According to several media reports, a Facebook user announced that two weeks prior to the disaster, he filed an official request to the head of the underground system reporting "problems with the tracks." The user quoted from the reply received in his e-mail: "The tracks are maintained in conformity with the technical standards and tolerances. Problems with mechanical switches in the joints have not been detected, being that the size of the gaps correspond to the technical regulations." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2014 Moscow Metro derailment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
