Police, Protesters Scuffle In Athens After Demonstration Against Train Operator | Greece Train Crash
Riot police in Athens faced off with stone-throwing protesters outside the offices of Greece's rail operator after at least 43 people were killed when two trains collided in the country's north. Dumpsters were also set on fire during Wednesday night's protest. No arrests or injuries were reported. Beforehand, a vigil had been held to remember the victims of Tuesday's crash, which injured scores and threw some passengers into ceilings and out the train's windows.
The train from Athens to Thessaloniki was carrying 350 passengers, many of them students returning from raucous Carnival celebrations, when it collided with a freight train.
While the track is double, both trains were travelling in opposite directions on the same line near the Vale of Tempe, a river valley about 380 kilometres (235 miles) north of Athens.
