There have been at least 70 bodies pulled out of the where two trains crashed in eastern India. Officials believe that the incident is linked to Maoist rebels.
Also about 115 passengers were injured when 13 cars of the Lokmanya Tilak Gyaneshwari Express derailed, capsized on a parallel track and were slammed by a cargo train, authorities said.
Indian officials gave different theories about the derailment.
"It appears to be a case of sabotage where a portion of the railway track was removed. Whether explosives were used is not yet clear," Home Minister P. Chidambaram said in a statement.
I don't understand why anyone would want to do this. I mean people's lives are being put into danger. The authorites should try everything in their power to figure out what happened. If someone really did try to blow up the train or removed a part of the track there should be people that go over the tracks to make sure that are ready to ride everyday.
