Indian authorities investigating a fatal train crash that killed at least 275 people on Friday are focusing on signal failure as a potential cause. The crash in the state of Odisha left also more than 1,000 people injured. Although officials have scrambled to restart rail services, many family members of the deceased have been forced to find other means to contact their loved ones. Dozens of workers have been toiling in 118-degree Fahrenheit temperatures to bring tracks back online. Among the agricultural fields near the site of the accident, the belongings of several passengers were still strewn on the ground. Desperate to find a way out, passengers were crammed into overturned carriages in complete darkness, prompting community members to use their mobile phones to provide light as they searched for survivors. Modernisation plans for India’s vast but outdated rail system are underway.
