This is pretty much the worst-case kind of derailment: the train derailed mid-switch, causing half the train to go down one track and the other half to go the other track. The sideways car then crashed into the immediately adjacent road pillar, destroying the car and the road on top of it. The rest of the train then plowed into the carnage and folded up like an accordion.
Total death count: 101, of 286 passengers.
An A380 will carry more passengers (500-600, I think), and a typical plane crash will have a much higher death train.
