Italian train crash survivor speaks

Описание: (12 Jul 2016) A survivor of the head-on train crash in Italy's southern Puglia region recalled the moment the two trains collided, killing at least 20 people and injuring scores more on Tuesday.
The woman, who is eight months pregnant, said she was "thrown forward" when the trains collided and then saw her mother on the ground and her father and sister bleeding.
At least two passengers were pulled alive from the crumpled wreckage as the rescue operation took place in the scorching heat.
Giuseppe Corrado, vice president of the province of Barletta, Andria and Trani, told broadcaster Sky TG24 the death toll stood at 20 and that rescue operations were continuing.
Another official stressed the final toll would not be known until the wreckage had been pulled apart.
The two trains, each with four cars, collided head-on at midday in an olive grove on flat terrain between the towns of Andria and Corato on a line with just a single track.
