YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSpain continues to mourn the victims of Sunday’s deadly train derailment and collision — at least 41 people were killed in the catastrophe. Dozens of others were wounded.
The crash took place at 7:45 p.m. Sunday when the tail end of a train carrying 289 passengers en route to Madrid went off the rails in a small town near Córdoba. The rear cars fell into the opposite track and slammed into an incoming train, which was carrying nearly 200 passengers and took the brunt of the impact. The collision knocked the second train's first two carriages off the track and sent them plummeting down a 13-foot slope. Some bodies were found hundreds of feet from the crash site.
Spanish workers are using heavy equipment to lift the most damaged wreckage. Authorities continue to say more bodies may be found.
