Protests break out in Athens on anniversary of deadly train crash
Tens of thousands of people have joined protests in Greece, with strike action bringing the country to a standstill, on the first anniversary of a deadly train crash blamed on decades of poor railway management.
As church bells tolled in memory of the 57 men and women who lost their lives in an accident deemed entirely preventable, protesters gathered in major cities to demand justice for the victims.
The tragedy, which also left dozens injured, occurred when a passenger train carrying more than 350 people – mostly students – returning from a holiday weekend in Athens careened head-on into a freight train. The locomotives collided at high speed as the Thessaloniki-bound train emerged a little before midnight from a tunnel near Tempe in central Greece
