The Hindu - International · world

Rescuers continued searching through wrecked train carriages on Thursday for more survivors of Spain's second deadly high-speed train crash this year, which has claimed at least 68 lives. Emergency workers were seen removing what appeared to be a body from the wreckage in a rural area of Toledo Province. Train drivers proceeded with a planned strike to demand more investment in railway safety following Europe's deadliest train accident since 2013. The crash has also disrupted campaigning for an upcoming snap election, with leaders suspending events.
