‘I’ve never seen anything like it…there were limbs hanging out of the smashed windows’

EYEWITNESSES yesterday spoke of their horror when an express train sliced through a double-decker tour bus in Hungary, killing at least 33 German tourists.

Eight other passengers were injured in one of Hungary’s worst transport disasters. Engineer Istvan Galos said: “I’ve never seen anything like it in my life ... there were limbs hanging out of the smashed windows of the bus.”

Galos said he saw two buses approaching the rail crossing. The first bus went over the tracks while the warning lights were flashing white, he said, but the second crossed as the lights were already flashing red.
