Balasore Train Accident

Earlier this month, a horrific accident took place in which at least 291 passengers lost their lives while around 900 were injured. The accident involved a good train, the Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express and the Shalimar-Chennai Central Coromandel Express. The accident took place because the Coromandel Express entered the loop line and crashed into a stationary goods train. As a result, the coaches of the train derailed and fell onto the parallel track and ended up hitting the last few coaches of another passenger train, the Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express.
