Three months after the official presentation of the National Air Force and Railway Investigation Agency (ENDERSAAM), Posted on his website in Greek, the finding For Tempi.
To these three monthsthe resignation of the deputy president intervened Christos Papadimitriouletters from foreign universities that were essentially demanding that specific formalities refer to fireplace With the committee in the Greek translation now pointing out:
«Pending The final report of recognized institutes with the results of the study of its creation Resulting fireplace After the co -wheelchairs. The above report will be incorporated into the edited finding »
The report references to the fireplace and to the flammable substance and through observations and simulations concludes that:
“They confirm the conclusion that Professor Constantopoulos reached:”The large fireplace In the railway accident of the Tempi that emerged at a time of 0.4 sec from the collision of the trains, cannot be attributed to transformers oil (PDMS) which, although flammable at fairly high temperatures (as set by the technical specifications document> 400 ° C) could not be ignited in the prevailing environment … (due to motor reaction factors). In addition, the absence of white dust (silicon dioxide, Sio₂) at the site of the accident, in quantities that would justify the burning of a large amount of silicone oil, there is another clear indication that such an incident did not happen. Therefore, the origin of the fireprooflet’s be in line with a few tons of flammable volatile fuel It must be sought elsewhere. “
The Commission also states that the flammable volatile fluid has been calculated at 2.5 tonnes:
“The mass of this flammable volatile fluid has been calculated, via CFD modeling, about 2.5 tonnes of magnitude. So far the survey has not identified any substance – with such qualities and total mass that we know there was in the rolling material – which could have had play this role. Similar to the previous steps, EPANAAM will entrust a recognized Institute to evaluate the validity of the variables and parameters used in the revised (modeling) CFD analysis. Despite the uncertainty about the source of the observed phenomenon, EPASAM has explicitly chosen not to postpone the publication of this report. (This was done because) First of all, the fireplace and the subsequent fire had an impact “only” on the consequences of the accident, without contributing to its causes. Most importantly, the Greek rail system must be informed and accept the results of this investigation as soon as possible in order to begin the necessary improvement process. “
The committee makes a reference to the three videos of the commercial train but also in the formal load of the train which as he points out recognizes them but not reject her conclusions:
“OR in the presence of a flammable substance with the features as specified in the analyzes not mentioned in the documents With the freight goods transferred 63503. Also, the recently published videos of the train 63503, although they have not yet been made available to EPAAAM by the judicial investigation, do not make visible the transfer of a representative amount of flammable material to a location consistent with the above findings. EPODAAM recognizes this fact, but that does not reject the above observations that are clearly documented. “
