"The police and the transportation safety commission are investigating if there's human error," national police spokesman Marwoto Soeto told AFP. "We'll see if the fault lies with machinists behind the train controls or those in charge of setting the track routes, among other things. Investigations will take about a week," he added. However, the chairman of the National Commission of Transportation Safety (KNKT), Tatang Kurniadi, said a "comprehensive investigation" would require three to four months to complete. "We must consider every aspect, the human factors and mechanical factors, and investigate the whole system before we can conclude whether there's human error," he told AFP. Police said 36 people were killed Saturday and more than 30 badly injured when a passenger train slammed into the back of another train at a station in Petarukan Pemalang, Central Java province. Officers at the scene said a train headed to Surabaya smashed into the rear carriages of a Semarang-bound locomotive waiting at the platform. National railway operator spokesman Sugeng Priyono said 36 people were injured, including five seriously. "Most of those hospitalised had light injuries. Victims will be compensated," he said, adding that the wrecked trains had been removed from the railway tracks and that the "situation is back to normal". President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has ordered a thorough investigation into the accident and has said that "should the investigation uncover negligence, there will be sanctions," presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha was quoted as saying by The Jakarta Post newspaper. Transportation Minister Freddy Numberi said the state railway operator would undergo a complete evaluation. In June eight people were killed when several carriages of a packed passenger train derailed as it travelled across Java, one of the most densely populated islands in the world. Poor infrastructure, corruption and weak safety standards are often cited as factors contributing to frequent transport disasters in Indonesia, especially on ferries linking the country's thousands of islands.
