One of the worst rail disasters in India s history. Over 160 die, hundreds more are injured, when 7 cars are telescoped into a ditch by the collapse of a flood-weakened embankment. Establishing shot - Derailed train people walking around and rescue workers. MS - Women looking at some dead bodies that are laid on the ground. MCUS - Two dead children lay side by side covered with mud, a parent lays next to none with their hand resting on the little one's leg. (If you stop and think about what your seeing its a very sad and poignant shot) MLS - A crane to lift the train cars that are thrown about.
