Train driver survives horrific crash

One train driver survived the head-on crash that killed at least 18 people outside of Brussels and will be questioned as soon as his serious injuries permit it, railway officials said today as the search resumed for more victims.

The Eurostar and Thalys high-speed trains from London and Paris to Brussels were suspended for a second day today and other train conductors held a wildcat strike that paralysed train travel across southern Belgium.
