A head-on collision between a passenger train and a freight train flattened carriages, killed at least 36 people and injured some 85, Greek officials said Wednesday, with the death toll expected to rise.
The cause of the crash was not immediately clear, but the stationmaster in the nearby city of Larissa was arrested Wednesday. The police did not release his name.
Another two people have been detained for questioning. Paul Workman has the latest update.

Always ride in the back cars
the back can be hit by another train. Always ride in the middle cars.
True
Best is to be in the middle. Also, not only that, but the middle of the car, not over the boogies (wheel sets). These are very heavy and solid. During an accident they have history of puncturing through the floor (not always, but why chance it).
Middle will die if the train catches fire in a tunnel
If everyone did that, there would be no “back cars.”
So extremely sad 😭
How in Gods name did that happen this day and age…smh
That is so awful, love and calm to those affected
Only about 10 serious incidents across the globe from USA to India To Greece and so on.
Seems like training in this field is sadly lacking..too many crashes in a short period,with all having horrific consequences,prayers to all effected by this disaster. Just horrible.
arrests due to negligence huh… we could take a hint
“Train derailments happen all the time, it’s no big deal.” – Pete Buttjudge
I bet it WOULD be a big deal if Peter Buttjudge( butthead ) was a passenger OR SOMEONE he actually cared about!
Why not SLAP THE FACES OF THE VICTIMS FAMILIES WHILE YOU’RE AT IT NUMBNUTS!!
It would a big deal if one of your family members or children were on there. That is a very cold and insensitive statement.
@Sophie B i was thinking he was probably being sarcastic cauz its happening so much lately
Condolences thoughts and prayers for the families of the victims. How horrible.
Was this intentional?
