The Greek Current

Anger and grief after deadly train crash in Greece


Listen Later

Earlier this week two trains collided in Greece, killing 57 people. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis called the collision “a horrific rail accident without precedent” in Greece, and pledged a full, independent investigation. The rail crash has shaken Greeks to their core, with protests erupting in Greek cities as many see this as an accident that had been waiting to happen. Iliana Magra, a journalist with Kathimerini who covered the accident, joins Thanos Davelis from Athens with the latest on what we know about the crash, the current situation at the site of the accident, the reaction among Greeks, and the steps the government is taking in response to this tragedy.
