A day after at least 136 passengers were killed and 200 injured when 13 coaches of Mumbai-bound Gyaneshwari Express derailed in West Bengal's West Midnapore district, the process of pulling out bodies trapped in coaches is still on and many more are still trapped inside. The incident occurred at 1:30 am on Friday when the train, running between Khemasoli and Sardiya stations, derailed due to a blast triggered by Maoists. The accident turned more devastating when a goods train hit the derailed boggies.
