Greece towards completion of rescue operations following train crash

Rescue teams have continued operations after the worst train accident in Greece, but rescue operations are expected to be completed later on March 4th.

At least 57 people have died and dozens more have been injured after the crash of two trains Tuesday. There were over 350 passengers on one of the trains.

This disaster in Greece has sparked anger and protests across the country, but has also sparked debate over security standards in railway transport.

The director of the train station in Larissa City has been arrested in connection with the accident. For the train crash, the Government has blamed the human error, which, according to railway workers, was inevitable due to the lack of security systems and the small number of workers.

The passenger train that crashed into another train was traveling from Athena to Thessalonica, and students were on board.

Police said 54 troops of 56 people reported missing from family members have been identified so far. Most bodies have been identified through DNA. Meanwhile, a lifeless body has yet to be identified.

Family victims have pledged to seek justice. /rel
