Dozens Feared Dead in Pakistan Collision

KARACHI, Pakistan - Three passenger trains collided at a station in remote southern Pakistan early Wednesday and at least 13 cars derailed, killing or injuring dozens of people, officials said.The accident occurred at about 4 a.m. when a train sitting in a station near Ghotki, in southern Sindh province, was rear-ended by a second train, said Abdul Aziz, a senior controller at Pakistan Railways.

The collision caused several cars to derail and spill onto another track, where they were struck by a third oncoming train, causing further derailment, he said.

"It is a very gruesome situation," Aga Mohammed Tahir, a local police official, told The Associated Press. "Rescue workers have started to pull the dead and injured out. There were many people inside and there are a lot of casualties."

Tahir said dozens of people had been killed or injured, but that no exact figures would be possible for some time. He said at least 13 train cars derailed, and that the injured were being taken in ambulances and cars to nearby hospitals.

"They are being pulled out every minute," he said.

Aziz, the railways official, also said he expected the toll of dead and injured to be high.

"We fear that there could be many casualties," he said.

Ghotki is about 370 miles northeast of Karachi. Aziz said rescue teams had been dispatched, but that it could take some time for them to reach the remote site in force.

Pakistan's railways are antiquated, and dozens of people have been killed in train accidents in recent years.

On March 5, five people were killed and 25 injured when a passenger train derailed in eastern Punjab province. And in September 2003, a train plowed into a packed bus in central Pakistan, killing at least 27 people and injuring six others.

Accidents are often blamed on faulty equipment or human error.

Re: 3 trains colloide in Pakistan…

oh…:frowning: they should do something about it! the fact is that Pakistan railways is still running on 1940s tracks, which requires some seriuos upgrade… What happened to the plans that china going to help in reshapping the whole network!

Re: 3 trains colloide in Pakistan....

Kaamraan,

I do have the same feelings... they should install a new track at which they can run rails at greater speed ...

Bhala ho goron ka k aik line daal di thi warna to yeh bhi na hoti...

I dunno that China plan :s

Re: 3 trains colloide in Pakistan…

true… running trains on same old tracks and doing maintenance just in papers!.. thats how it works in PR.

I heard about it that China goona help PR to install new tracks In Balouchistan and rest of Country… for obv reasons that they are helping developing Gawader port as well… But I think burucracy stricked again…

Re: 3 trains colloide in Pakistan....

tracks have nothing to do with this ...
we need a better SIGNALLING system

Re: 3 trains colloide in Pakistan…

Why does anyone need outside help for laying train tracks? Pretty low tech - important but low tech.

Automated signalling and process control system is another thing. In India also they do not pay sufficient attention to failsafe signalling AND control systems!:eek:

Re: 3 trains colloide in Pakistan....
