孟加拉一班載客列車24日發生出軌意外,造成至少5人死亡。 (圖:推特)
孟加拉一名員警表示,國內一班載客列車今天(24日)發生出軌意外,造成至少5人死亡、超過1百人受傷。由於有兩節車廂落入運河中,可能還有更多人傷亡。
警察沙阿賈拉(Mohammad Shahjalal)表示,案發當時,這班從東部城市希耳赫特(Sylhet)出發的列車正在過橋,準備前往首都達卡(Dhaka),結果半途出軌。
沙阿賈拉說,落水的車廂中可能還有更多遺體。
這次出軌事件發生在達卡東側210公里的毛爾維巴扎爾區(Moulavi Bazar)附近。
孟加拉相對而言經常發生鐵路事故,許多意外發生在無人看管的平交道。

At least five people were killed and dozens injured late Sunday night when part of a train heading for Bangladesh’s capital careened off a railway bridge that failed, officials said.
The crash occurred in the Moulvibazar district of northeastern Bangladesh, about 140 miles by car from the capital, Dhaka. Photos published in the Bangladeshi news media showed blue-and-white train carriages upside down in a shallow river beside a broken bridge.
Officials told reporters on Monday that more than 100 people had been hospitalized with injuries after five of the train’s 17 carriages went off the rails while crossing a culvert. At least 15 passengers were in critical condition, one official, Tofayel Ahmed, told The Associated Press.
The accident, which occurred a few hundred feet from a railway station in the town of Baramchal, cut off train service between Dhaka and the Sylhet region of the country’s northeast, The Dhaka Tribune reported.

“Either the lines were faulty or the alignment of the coach wheels were disoriented,” the railway secretary, Mofazzal Hossain, told reporters at the scene as rescue crews combed the wreckage for survivors, The Daily Star

DHAKA - A passenger train derailed in Bangladesh on Monday, killing at least five people and injuring more than 100, and there could be more casualties inside two carriages that fell into a canal, a police officer said.
The train was crossing a bridge on its way to the capital, Dhaka, from the eastern city of Sylhet when it went off the rails, police superintendent Mohammad Shahjalal said.
He said there could be more bodies in the carriages that were submerged in the canal, he said.
The derailment occurred near the Moulavi Bazar district, 130 miles east of Dhaka.
Railway accidents occur relatively frequently in Bangladesh, many of them at unsupervised crossings. REUTERS
