The poorest passengers, packed into carriages in the front, bore the brunt of India’s word crash in more than two decades. This is how it unfolded:
On the evening of June 2, the Coromandel Express passenger train was moving at 128 kph , heading for the southern city of Chennai, when it approached Bahanaga Bazar station in the eastern Indian state of Odisha.
In their first detailed briefing on the crash on June 4, Indian Railways officials said investigators were focusing on the failure of the track management system. The carriages worst damaged on the two passenger trains were the non-air conditioned ones, according to Reuters’ analysis, some of which were unreserved coaches that allow anyone holding the cheapest category of ticket to board without a specific seat reserved for them. Such carriages are often the most crowded.
Graphic shows the sequence of coaches behind the engine on the Coromandel Express and Howrah Superfast Express. On the Coromandel Express, the engine is closely followed by non-air conditioned coaches, including three unreserved coaches. These coaches felt the hardest impact of the collision. On the Howrah Superfast Express, the cheapest compartments are further away from the engine, and these were the ones that derailed in the accident.
