ARGENTINA BUS-TRAIN CRASH

Cameras on a train platform in Argentina capture the moment when a train plunged into a bus then flew across the tracks into a second train.

AN Argentine train slammed into a bus and was then struck by another train in a huge rush-hour crash that killed at least 11 people and injured 212.
Firefighters worked frantically to pull people out of the wreckage and rush the injured to hospitals, officials said today.

Police said they have confirmed the deaths of 11 victims. Officials said as many as 30 of the injured were very badly hurt, suggesting the death toll could climb substantially.

Argentina's transportation secretary Juan Pablo Schiavi said most of the fatalities were among people who had been aboard the bus, including the driver.

The crash occurred at 7am (local time) as thousands of commuters were pouring into the Flores district station in south-western Buenos Aires on their way to work.

"A train entering Flores station hits a bus from the 92 Line, drags it and smashes it against the platform," said Gustavo Gago, a spokesman for the Buenos Aires train operator.

@shadow4u10 actually they said the barrier was propped up with a plank of wood so the bus driver thought he could go through, so really it was the train company or whoever is in charge of the stations fault
