Got a problem with me predicting the Daily Mail's headlines?

Sky news now reporting "ALL NINE carriages derailed" and they can currently only gain access into one of them... Doesn't sound great.

EDIT - 198 passengers on the train, "48 accounted for".

Yep is starting to sound a lot worse than the initial reports.

anyone found any pictures yet? Want to see what the track is like.

I'm praying no one has been killed. It seems they were travelling at 95mph when it was derailed.

Ah right, could have given us a heads up then. It's still spam in my eyes.

There's one on the BBC link, and the carriage is on it's side with people inside standing on what would be the windows.

Well all the reports so far have said no one has been killed, but if they can't get to some of the carriages.

They usually end up depressed beyond comprehension and then kill themselves, if that's any consolation to you.

Edit: Beaten on the Kevin Carter thing, but still.

Shouldn't be too horrendous, then—thankfully.

Edit: I caught this exact train last friday, go me :cool:

Well It's seems there are no major fires, thats the biggest threat. Hopefully they can get in and rescue the more seriously wounded quickly. Very little deaths are usually sustained during the crash.

has it been hammering it down up there?

Not sure although It's shouldn't cause so much imapct by this time. They will have determined the various levels of urgency for each carrage by now.
