29 Killed in Train Accident in India

Twenty-nine people were killed when a high speed train ran into a crowd in Dhamara Ghat, India.

The train had been cleared to go through the town without stopping, but as it did so a group of Hindu pilgrims crossed the tracks.

Going over fifty miles per hour, the train's driver was unable to stop in time.

Once he did stop, he was severely beaten by an angry mob.

The mob then lit the train on fire and kept rescue workers from getting to the site, for over an hour.
