Some of you may have seen the horrible images on the BBC or via YouTube:

It does appear that the train was going too fast.
I'm wondering how UK carriages could cope with an accident like this?
I usually travel on 375s and sometimes 395s. I get the feeling that our current carriages are much more robust. (I am aware that the 375s I get to work max out at 100mph).
Are the HST and 225 carriages lest robust?
