Bloodied, dazed and angry - how passengers' rail journey turned to disaster in Spain
Survivors of the train crash in Spain have spoken of their shock, panic and anger at the accident in Toledo province on Wednesday.
It was approaching 08:30 (07:30 GMT) on a normal Wednesday. Two high-speed trains were travelling south from the Spanish capital, Madrid, to Seville.
One, run by state-owned operator Renfe had 397 passengers on board. Ahead of it on the same line was a train of Iryo private operator with 147 passengers. A reported issue with the automatic signalling system - a computer failure - had forced all trains to halt on the affected stretch.
Then the impossible happened, Spain's transport minister said, as the Renfe train was ordered to proceed in "error".
Even in the carriages farthest away from the impact on the Renfe train "everything was completely destroyed - the seats were detached, and most of the people who were travelling facing the same direction as the train were thrown into the air", according to Salvador Arriza.
