At least 288 people have been killed and more than 850 others injured in a train accident involving three trains in India's eastern state of Odisha, according to officials.

The death toll is expected to rise as more people are feared trapped inside the mangled train cars. Rescuers were cutting through iron compartments, and using sniffer dogs, in the search of survivors and bodies. On Saturday morning, the Indian army joined National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), police, and other rescue teams to find survivors.

Nearly 300 killed in one of India's deadliest train accidents

Footage from the accident site showed bodies lined up on tracks and the injured being shifted to hospitals while rescuers desperately looked through the overturned and jumbled metal train compartments.

The wreckage is unbelievable!
This is quite interesting: "India has one of the largest railway networks in the world where an estimated 13 million people travel on trains every day. But despite recent huge investments in a bid to modernize, a large chunk of the country's railway infrastructure is old and aging."

I wonder how many deaths it will take to redo them.
