At least 78 Dead in a Spain Train Crash


At least 78 people have been killed in the passenger train derailment in north-western Spain on Wednesday. More than 140 were hurt, 36 seriously, after all eight carriages of the Madrid to Ferrol train came off the tracks near Santiago de Compostela. MORE PICTURES AFTER CUT.

Media reports say the train may have been travelling at more than twice the speed limit around a curve. Officials say one of the train's drivers has been put under formal investigation.
It is one of Spain's worst ever train crashes. PM Mariano Rajoy has declared three days of national mourning.
