The train crash, which killed nearly 300 people on Friday, June 2 in India, was recorded as one of the deadliest rail disasters in the world in the last decade.
At least 288 people were killed and 850 injured when three trains collided in eastern India on Friday evening.
Rescuers are trying to get the many pengers trapped under the wagons. Since the turn of the century, thirteen railroad accidents, at least three of which were caused by terrorist attacks, have claimed more than 50 lives each.
