In a tragic three-train crash, at least 288 people were killed and over 1000 were wounded. The Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express, the Shalimar-Chennai Central Coromandel Express, and a cargo train were all involved in the disaster.
One train slammed into the other so fiercely that carriages were lifted far into the air, twisting and then bursting off the rails. Another carriage had been thrown completely onto its roof, smashing the passenger compartment. According to railway officials, around 3,400 people were travelling in two trains.
