The crash in the eastern state of Odisha, involving three trains, left at least 280 people dead and some 900 injured
. Authorities recommended that India’s Central Bureau of Investigations, which probes major criminal cases, open an investigation into the crash.
“Everything happened so quickly,” said Subhashish Patra, a student who was traveling with his family from Balasore to the state capital, Bhubaneswar, on the Coromandel Express. He was planning to take his mother to a hospital in Bhubaneswar to seek treatment for a hand injury, and then to travel to Puri, home to one of Odisha’s most important temples.
At the hospital on Sunday, Patra’s head was bandaged in gauze as he waited for an MRI scan. His head was throbbing with pain, he said, but he was grateful that he and his entire family had survived. He learned about the crash from television. When he tried to call his brother’s mobile phone to check on him, no one answered.
