Argentina train crash in Buenos Aires

A train crash at a station in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, has killed 49 people with hundreds more injured, police say. The train slammed into the barrier at the end of the platform at the Once station during the morning rush hour. "We assume that there was some fault in the brakes", Transportation Secretary JP Schiavi said. Eyewitnesses said the train was travelling fast. Dozens of people remain trapped. "The train was full and the impact was tremendous," a passenger identified as Ezequiel told local television. Medics at the scene were overwhelmed by the casualties, he added.
