survenir

Je voudrais dire rapidement qu'alors que vient de survenir un nouvel accident dans le Gothard, il y a une différence, me semble-t-il, entre tirer des enseignements de cet accident, et en exploiter politiquement la charge émotionnelle.
I would like to say briefly, now that another accident has occurred in the St Gotthard tunnel, that I think there is a difference between learning lessons from that accident and exploiting its emotional charge for political ends.
