India Train Crashes: Signal Errors and Human Error Blamed for Deadly Disasters

A signal error has been blamed for a deadly train crash in India that killed at least 275 people and injured over 1,000. The high-speed Coromandel Express was given a signal to enter the main track line, but the signal was later taken off, causing the train to enter another line and crash into a parked goods train. The incoming Yesvantpur-Howrah Express then crashed into the overturned coaches. The derailment has raised new questions about the safety of India's railway network, which is still beset by deadly accidents. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised to help those affected and punish anyone found responsible.
