Exactly this claim was based on one dude who happened to be some random Italian railways employee at the time. Regular employee, a courier, not even someone who would have even limited knowledge, such as someone dispatching rail transport on some random rail station or something like that. It doesn't refer any official statistics, even fake ones. Just one random dude's opinion. Can it be more ridiculous than that?
