An aerial view shows the crash site of an elevated Transrapid high-speed train in the northern German region of Emsland near the town of Lathen in this file handout photo taken from a police helicopter September 22, 2006. Nearly a year after a high speed train collision which killed 23 people and injured 11, state prosecutors in the western city of Osnabrueck have charged on August 30, 2007, three employees at a test track with involuntary manslaughter and causing bodily injury by negligence. Last September a Transrapid high-speed smashed into a maintenance vehicle and its two-man crew at a speed of at least 200 km per hour (120 miles per hour) on a test run in the Emsland district of Germany near the Dutch border. The high-tech magnetic train is one of the world's fastest. Picture taken September 22, 2006.
