DR Congo train in deadly Katanga derailment
At least 63 people have been killed after a freight train derailed in Katanga in south-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, officials have said.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-27133215 It was overloaded with passengers, some of whom were on top of the carriages. Katanga province's interior minister told the BBC that 80 people were severely wounded and another seven were still stuck under debris. The train had crashed on Tuesday morning but rescue teams had only arrived in the evening, he said. |
Sadly, that is how things are in the third world. :(
