107 dead in Pakistan train disaster

Three trains collided in a deadly chain-reaction after a conductor misread a signal in southern Pakistan, killing at least 107 people and wounding hundreds more in the country’s worst crash in more than a decade.

The accident left metal and glass strewn across a remote railway station near Ghotki. Rescuers frantically cut through twisted metal to reach survivors, as ambulances and buses streamed in to ferry the injured to nearby hospitals.
