India train crash: Haunting images of a deadly 2002 disaster
Saibal Das survived a harrowing crash in Bihar and captured the first pictures of the tragedy. …
When dawn broke, I took a lot of pictures. In one, a man, bandaged around his head, stands in the open, evidently dazed, as rescue workers cordon the area while a wounded couple sit in the field. In another a speechless young man, heavily bandaged, gazes emptily into the camera. In others, the dead and the barely alive are being brought out of the mangled coaches.
