“Drive on, I tell you!” : the hallucinatory video of the train crash in Bilzen circulates heavily. A woman has got stuck on a closed level crossing, but is unable to move her car when a train hits, after which her car is grabbed. Why didn't the woman drive further away from danger? Was the driver paralyzed by fear? “No, I was the first to see her and she was just alert,” says Anne-Sophie Houwaer, who lives near the level crossing.
