Amid different theories doing the rounds about the possible reasons for the horrific accident involving three trains near Balasore and the railway ministry maintaining that the exact cause of this unusual crash would be known only after a detailed investigation, one fact stood out — the Shalimar-Chennai Coromandel Express entered a wrong track moments before the pile-up. from Times of India https://ift.tt/bJnDLHC

The death toll in the three-train accident at Bahanaga Bazar station in Odisha’s Balasore rose to 288 on Saturday and left over 1,000 injured, with a preliminary probe implying human error in the deadliest railway tragedy in 30 years. Search and rescue was called off 18 hours after the accident, and authorities mounted a multi-agency probe to ascertain how a superfast train veered from its original path into the loopline and rear-ended a parked freight train, causing a fatal domino effect. from Times of India https://ift.tt/VcQsi0r
