Deadly Spain high-speed train crash occurred after "inexplicable" controller decision, official says

The transport minister said a judge would investigate controllers’ actions, including authorizing a train to proceed at high speed though another was stalled in front of it.

The tragedy has upended the November 29 election campaign, shifting attention from housing to security.

As some of the victims' names are released publicly, an outpouring of grief and anger is sweeping across Spain.

Eyewitness footage shows passengers evacuating from the site of a deadly train collision near Urda, central Spain, on Wednesday, Oct 28. The crash left at least 69 people dead and dozens injured.
