Kanpur Train derailment

Описание: Rescue workers have given up on finding survivors in the wreckage of the Indore-Patna Express, which went off the tracks near Kanpur before daybreak on Sunday, proving to be calamitous for 143 passengers who were in their sleep.

After an overnight effort by personnel of the army, police and the National Disaster Management Force it was clear on Monday afternoon that it would take a miracle to find anyone in good health in the crushed coaches of the Indore-Patna Express.

Fourteen coaches were thrown off track at Pukhrayan, a town around 60 km from Kanpur, when the train was midway in its 27-hour journey between Indore and Patna.

Passengers were jolted out of their sleep by a loud bang, following by a loud rattling as the coaches leapt from the tracks and collided up against each other.

One of the coaches was flattened and trapped under another coach.

This is the worst incident in recent times for the Indian railways, the world's fourth largest train network. In 2010, a passenger train collided into a freight train in Bengal, proving disastrous for 146 people. Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted that he was "anguished beyond words".

While the cause of the accident is being investigated, officials say a fault in the tracks could have caused the accident.
