At least 26 people were killed and more than 85 injured when two trains collided in northern Greece, the Greek Fire Service said Wednesday.
Images on Greece’s state-owned public broadcaster ERT showed smoke pouring out of toppled train cars and long lines of rescue vehicles next to them. The images also showed rescue workers with torches searching carriages for survivors.
Greek Fire Service spokesman Vassilis Varthakogiannis said in a televised briefing that a passenger train carrying more than 350 people had collided with a freight train on Tuesday evening, shortly before midnight local time, in the area of Tempi, central Greece, near the city of Larissa.
The Greek railway company, Hellenic Train, said in a press release that there was “a head-on collision between two trains: a freight train and train IC 62 which had departed from Athens to Thessaloniki.”
About 350 passengers were on board at the time of the collision, according to Hellenic Train.

What’s the O/U on “BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS!”
But still, I find him the best source on breaking events like this that our media ignores.

We were in Greece last year, and we took a train from Athens to Meteora.

Mayor Pete will probably be there tomorrow, since it would be fun to take his husband and kids there on a private jet at taxpayer expense.

True and he does try to get verification for anything he puts up. I listened to him a lot when Russia invaded Ukraine.
