Hundreds dead in India train crash, the nation's worst
rail disaster in decades
Jun 3, 2023
Rescuers found no more survivors in the overturned and
mangled wreckage of two passenger trains that derailed
in eastern India, killing more than 280 people and
injuring hundreds in one of the country’s deadliest
rail crashes in decades, officials said Saturday.
Chaotic scenes erupted after the derailment on Friday
night about 220 kilometers (137 miles) southwest of
Kolkata, as rescuers climbed atop the wrecked trains to
break open doors and windows using cutting torches.
The death toll rose steadily throughout the night.
Scores of bodies, covered by white sheets, lay on the
ground near the tracks while locals and rescuers raced
to free the hundreds of people trapped in the rail cars
under the twisted metal and broken glass. Army soldiers
and air force helicopters joined the effort.

killed 275 people in India, official says

A railway official says the derailment that killed 275
people and injured hundreds more was caused by an error
in the electronic signaling system that led a train to
wrongly change tracks and crash into a freight train.
