BALASORE, India: Gura Pallay was watching another train pass by the one he was sitting in when he heard sudden, loud screeching. Before he could make sense of what was happening, he was thrown out of the train.
Pallay is a labourer, like most of the people onboard the two passenger trains that crashed on Friday in the eastern Odisha state, killing over 275 people and injuring hundreds. He was travelling to Chennai city in southern India to take up a job in a paper mill factory when the Coromandel Express crashed with a goods freight train, knocking it off track, and was then hit by a second train coming from the opposite direction on a parallel track.
Pantry worker Inder Mahato, 37, left, is receiving treatment at a hospital in Balasore district, in the eastern state of Orissa, India, on Sunday, Jun 4, 2023.
