Record Big Freeze in China Triggers Beijing Subway Crash, Injuring Over 600

A subway crash in Beijing, China, caused by freezing temperatures resulted in 102 commuters sustaining broken bones. The collision occurred when a moving train was unable to brake on icy tracks and crashed into a stationary train due to deteriorating track conditions caused by heavy snowfall. The impact caused the last two carriages of one train to detach completely. Over 500 people were sent to hospitals for medical checks, with 423 discharged by Friday morning. President Xi Jinping called for "all-out" emergency response efforts as a cold wave gripped the country, with temperatures expected to drop below freezing in many regions.

Massive Beijing Subway Crash Injures Over 500

A rush hour collision between two subway trains in Beijing during heavy snowfall has left 102 people with broken bones and over 500 people sent to the hospital. Slippery tracks caused by the snowstorm led to a "signal degradation" and the first train braked suddenly, causing the following train to slam into it. The impact detached the last two carriages of one of the trains. No deaths were reported, but the incident sparked outrage among Chinese netizens, who questioned the maintenance and inspection of the Beijing Subway. The subway line affected by the incident has been closed, and road, rail, and air transport have been disrupted due to snowfall in Beijing.

Michael J. Fox has revealed that he has suffered from multiple broken bones in recent years due to Parkinson's disease. The actor, who was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 29, said that he now has more medical support than ever before. Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that causes unintended and uncontrollable movements, and can eventually affect the ability to walk and talk. Fox officially retired from acting in 2020 due to struggles with remembering lines, but was recognized in November with an honorary Oscar for his advocacy work with Parkinson's disease.
