The derailment looks a lot like one in northwestern Spain about two years ago where a passenger express derailed at high speed on a left hand curve. The engineer allegedly ignored a speed restriction and the entire train hurtled off the curve. The crash killed 79 and injured 140.
There is a video online of the train actually derailing. It was shot from a lineside surveillance camera. If you do a Wikipedia or Google search, you should find it. As I recall, it was near Santiago de Campostela.
