| [BBC] At least 34 people have died and 70 remain trapped after a train carrying around 350 passengers derailed inside a tunnel in Taiwan. Dozens more have been injured, with rescuers trying to access several badly damaged carriages inside the tunnel. Local media say the eight-carriage train hit a construction vehicle that had slipped onto the tracks. The train, from the capital Taipei to Taitung, was carrying people travelling for the annual Tomb Sweeping festival. Many people may have been standing because the train was so full. |
