Train wreck toll could exceed 150, officials fear
Indian rescue workers recovered more bodies Saturday in their gruesome search for victims of a train wreck blamed on Maoist saboteurs, with fears that the final death toll could exceed 150. More than 30 hours after a Mumbai-bound highspeed passenger train from Kolkata careened off the tracks in a remote part of West Bengal, emergency teams were still trying to cut their way into sections of the mangled wreckage. “The death toll has now reached 120,” said Srikumar Mukherjee, West Bengal civil defence minister, after more bodies were pulled from the worst affected section of the train. The crushed carriage was yet to be fully searched and some 40 passengers were still unaccounted for, said Mukherjee.
