    At least 16 people killed after passenger train and freight train collide in Greece

    At least 16 people are reported to have been killed and dozens injured after two trains collided in Greece.

    A passenger train travelling between Athens and the northern city of Thessaloniki collided with a freight train travelling from Thessaloniki to Larissa just before midnight.

    The collision was near Tempi, about 235 miles north of Athens.

    Police said several carriages came off the rails, with at least three of them catching fire.

    One passenger told state broadcaster ERT: "There was fire next to us.

    "We found a hole and from there we managed to get out.

    "The wagon started to spin and then it ended up on its side and we got out.

    Looks like the station master is more the scapegoat than the reason for this tragedy. I would have expected an investigation to be completed before an arrest...

    ...and besides, Grrece needs to learn from the accident not just blame someone and hope all will be forgotten.

    Well he's admitted he made a mistake.

    Of course the investigation will delve into the reasons that led to that, but I suppose they want someone to blame quickly to try and quell the riots.
