Ompal Bhatia, a survivor of the three-train crash in India on Friday, had first thought he was dead. When the train he was traveling in went off-track, Bhatia was with three friends on his way to Chennai for work.
The 25-year-old had spent most of the four-hour journey on the Coromandel Express standing. Bhatia, who works in the plywood business, said that just before the trains crashed, leavingThe rail car he was in, S3, was so full that there was only standing space. He had held on to a chain, as did his friends.
Suddenly there was a loud, violent noise, Bhatia and Sheikh said, and they felt the train suddenly start to move backwards. Sheikh first thought it was the sound of brakes, but then the coach tumbled. The Coromandel Express had gone off track, hit a goods train that was parked there, and then collided with a second train coming from the opposite direction.
She said people started to slowly get to their feet. “They asked me to get out, but I said no, I need to search for my son. But they insisted I first get out.”
