Spain train crash caught on CCTV
The driver of a Spanish train that derailed, killing at least 80 people, was under police guard in hospital after the dramatic accident which an official source said was caused by excessive speed. The eight-carriage train came off the tracks, hit a wall and caught fire just outside the pilgrimage destination Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain on Wednesday night. It was one of Europe's worst rail disasters.
Video footage from a security camera showed the train, with 247 people on board, hurtling into a concrete wall at the side of the track as carriages jack-knifed and the engine overturned. One local official described the aftermath of the crash as like a scene from hell, with bodies strewn next to the tracks.
The impact was so huge one carriage flew several metres into the air and landed on the other side of a high concrete barrier. Around 94 people were injured, 35 of them, including four children, in a serious condition, the deputy head of the regional government said.

Investigators have Spain trains 'black boxes'
SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain (AP) Investigators have taken possession of the "black boxes" of the Spain train that hurtled at high-speed along a curve and derailed, killing 80 people, a court official said Friday.
Analysis will be performed to determine why the train was traveling far above the speed limit when it crashed near a station in Santiago de Compostela, in the northwestern Galicia, said court spokeswoman Maria Pardo Rios. She declined comment on how long the analysis will take.
The boxes record all trip data from trains, including speed and distances and are similar to flight recorders for airplanes. The train's operator remained hospitalized Friday and will be questioned by police but she said the interview will not happen Friday.
By Friday, all but seven victims in the crash had been identified in a makeshift morgue in Santiago de Compostela. DNA analysis will be used to identify the remaining victims, Pardo Rios said. By all accounts, the train was going way too fast as it curled around a gentle bend. Then in an instant, one car tumbled off the track, followed by the rest of the locomotive, which seemed to come apart like a zipper being pulled.
