Dozens dead in Chinese train crash

Story Highlights

At least 70 dead, 420 hurt as trains collide in eastern China, state news reports

BEIJING, China (CNN) -- Two passenger trains collided in eastern China's Shandong province Monday morning, killing at least 70 and injuring 420, according to China's official news agency.

Two trains collided in east China's Shandong province on Monday.





One train on its way from Beijing to Qingdao, a city in eastern China, derailed and crashed into a train which was traveling from the Shandong city of Yantai to Xuzhou in the eastern Jiangsu Province, according to a report by the state-run Xinhua news agency.
The wreck happened in the city of Zibo in Shandong Province at 4:43 a.m., the report said.
"Most passengers were still asleep, but some were standing in the aisle waiting to get off at the Zibo Railway Station," a passenger named Zhang was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
"I suddenly felt the train, like a roller coaster, toppled 90 degrees to one side and all the way to the other side. When it finally went off the tracks, many people fell on me and hot water poured out of the thermos flasks."
Local villagers joined police officers and medical workers in the rescue effort, breaking train windows with farm tools to pull out stranded passengers, Xinhua said. Survivors also joined in, using blankets from sleeper cars as stretchers to lift the seriously injured from the stricken carriages.
A 38-year-old woman called Yu told Xinhua she had escaped through a crack in the floor of the carriage with her 13-year-old daughter.
"We were still sleeping when the accident occurred," she said. "I suddenly woke up when I felt the train stopped with a jolt. In a minute or two it started again, but soon toppled."
Xinhua quoted government officials saying they suspect human error in the mishap and have ruled out terrorism as a cause.
CCTV, China's state television station, said four French citizens were among the injured

CNN中国北京报导
根据中国官方媒体报导，星期一早晨两列火车在中国东部的山东省相撞，至少70人死亡，420人受伤。
官方的新华社报导，其中一列是从北京开往位于中国东部的青岛，脱轨后撞上了从山东烟台开往江苏徐州的列车。
记者说，这起事故发生在凌晨4：43的山东淄博。
新华社援引一位姓张（音）乘客说：“绝大多数乘客仍在睡梦中，但有一些乘客占在过道里等待从淄博火车站下车。”
“我突然间感觉列车像过山车一样，向一边翻转了90度。当列车脱轨后，许多乘客摔下落到我身上，而且开水从保温瓶里撒出。”
当地村民加入到警方和医务人员的救援行列中，用农具打破列车玻璃救出乘客。新华社说，幸存者也加入进来，用卧铺车里的床单当作担架将重伤者抬出变形的车厢。
一名姓Yu的38岁妇女告诉新华社记者，她带着她13岁的女儿从车厢的一个缝隙中撤离。
她说：“事故发生的时候我们仍在睡觉，我们醒来的时候列车突然颠簸中停下
一两分钟内又听到颠簸。”
新华社引述政府官员的话说，他们猜测是人为因素造成，而不是恐怖袭击。
