<p>In what one local official described as a scene from hell, bodies covered in blankets lay next to the overturned carriages as smoke billowed from the wreckage after the disaster.</p>
<p>Firefighters clambered desperately over the twisted metal trying to get survivors out of the windows, while ambulances and fire engines surrounded the scene. Cranes were still pulling out mangled debris on Thursday morning, 12 hours after the crash.</p>
<p>The government said it was working on the assumption the derailment was an <keyword id="6354769" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="accident">accident</keyword>.</p>
<p>One official source said speeding was a likely cause of the derailment, which occurred as the train reached a curve in the track, but the public works minister said it was too early to draw conclusions on what had happened.</p>
<p>El Pais newspaper cited sources close to the investigation as saying the train was travelling at over twice the speed limit on a sharp curve and Santiago's mayor said the train was probably going too fast.</p>
<p>"We heard a massive noise and we went down the tracks. I helped getting a few injured and bodies out of the train. I went into one of the cars but I'd rather not tell you what I saw there," Ricardo Martinez, a 47-year old baker from Santiago de Compostela, told Reuters.</p>

Bodies covered in blankets lay next to carriages as smoke billowed from the wreckage a few hundred meters away from the entrance to the city's main station.</p></div></div></p>
<p>The Santiago de Compostela train operated by state rail company Renfe, which had 247 people on board, derailed as the city prepared for the renowned festival of Saint James, when thousands of Christian pilgrims from across the world pack the streets.</p>
<p>The city's tourism board said all festivities, including the traditional High Mass at the centuries-old cathedral, had been cancelled as the city went into mourning following the crash.</p>
<p>Passenger Ricardo Montesco told Cadena Ser radio station the train approached the curve at high speed, twisted and wagons piled up one on top of the other.</p>
<p>"A lot of people were squashed on the bottom. We tried to squeeze out of the bottom of the wagons to get out and we realized the train was burning. ... I was in the second wagon and there was fire. ... I saw corpses," he said.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who was born in Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Galicia region, visited the site on Thursday morning. He was due to go to the main hospital later in the day and hold an emergency meeting with local authorities.</p>
<p>"In the face of a tragedy such as just happened in Santiago de Compostela on the eve of its big day, I can only express my deepest sympathy as a Spaniard and a Galician," he said in a written statement late on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Both Renfe and state-owned Adif, which is in charge of the tracks, had opened an investigation into the cause of the derailment, Renfe said.</p>
<p>The official source said no statement would be made regarding the cause until the black boxes of the train were examined, but said it was most likely an accident.</p>
<p>"We are moving away from the hypothesis of sabotage or attack," he said. "It's too early to be 100 percent sure but speeding is a likely cause for the accident."</p>
<p>Santiago mayor Angel Curras told Cadena Ser radio: "It seems the speed of the train was likely not the right one."</p>
<p>Clinics in Santiago de Compostela were overwhelmed with people flocking to give blood, while hotels organized free rooms for relatives. Madrid sent forensic scientists and hospital staff to the scene on special flights.</p>
<p>The <keyword id="6355784" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="death">death</keyword> toll was 78, a spokeswoman for Galicia's Supreme Court said, adding that the figures were still provisional. Judges in Spain are responsible for recording deaths.</p>
<p>Up to 131 people were injured, a Galicia-based spokeswoman for the office of the central government said earlier.</p>
<p>"The scene is shocking, it's Dante-esque," said the head of the surrounding Galicia region, Alberto Nunez Feijoo,in a radio interview. He said he had declared seven days of official mourning in the Galicia region.<strong><div class="image-container" style="width:800px"><div class="image"><p class="source">REUTERS/Oscar Corral</p><p class="caption">Rescue workers pull victims from a train crash near Santiago de Compostela, northwestern Spain, July 24, 2013.

Bodies covered in blankets lay next to carriages as smoke billowed from the wreckage a few hundred meters away from the entrance to the city's main station.</p></div></div>NO BUDGET CUTS</strong></p>
<p>The eight-carriage train was travelling from Madrid to Ferrol on the Galician coast when it derailed, Renfe said ina statement.</p>
<p>The disaster stirred memories of a train bombing in Madrid in 2004, carried out by Islamist militants, that killed 191 people, although officials do not appear to suspect an attack this time.</p>
<p>Spain is struggling to emerge from a long-running recession marked by government-driven austerity to bring its deeply indebted finances into order.</p>
<p>But Adif, the state railways infrastructure company, told Reuters no budget cuts had been implemented on maintenance of the line, which connects La Coruna, Santiago de Compostela and Ourense and was inaugurated in 2011.</p>
<p>It said more than 100 million euros a year were being spent on track maintenance in Spain.</p>
<p>Firefighters called off a strike to help with the disaster, while hospital staff, many operating on reduced salaries because of spending cuts, worked overtime to tend the injured.</p>
<p>The city's festival focuses on St James, one of Jesus' 12 disciples, whose remains are said to rest there and who is patron saint of Galicia.</p>
<p>The apostle's shrine is the destination of the famous El Camino de Santiago pilgrimage across the Pyrenees, which has been followed by Christians since the Middle Ages.</p>
<p>Wednesday's derailment was one of the worst rail accidents in Europe over the past 25 years.</p>
<p>In November 2000, 155 people were killed when a fire in a tunnel engulfed a funicular train packed with skiers in Austria.</p>
<p>In Montenegro, up to 46 people were killed and nearly 200 injured in 2006 when a packed train derailed and plunged into a ravine outside the capital, Podgorica.</p>
<p>In Spain itself, 41 people were killed the same year when an underground train derailed and overturned in a tunnel just before entering the Jesus metro station in Valencia.</p>

Indian Rail Minister Suresh Prabhu presented his second budget today and the question remains whether the <keyword id="3173707" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rail-Budget-2016">Rail Budget 2016</keyword> was really on track?<br />
<br />
Opposition came down heavily on Prabhu as soon as he concluded his budget speech. Angry and disappointed voices had already begun in the Lok Sabha when Prabhu was announcing a slew of measures for the common man.<br />
<br />
Former railway ministers rejected the budget, saying it was a failure.<br />
<br />
Commenting on the budget, former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav said that BJP had already derailed from the objectives.<br />
<br />
Yadav said railways is a lifeline of people and more than bullet trains, people wanted the budget to be on track.<br />
<br />
Dinesh Trivedi, also a former railway minister, said, “It was nothing. Budget is a vision statement and this was statement of illusion.”<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Congress party lawmaker Shashi Tharoor said, “We all are a bit mystified, whether a budget was really presented or not.”<br />
<br />
However, BJP lawmakers welcomed the Rail budget 2016, saying it will deliver results.<br />

Crosby is an election campaign strategist, who oversaw May's disastrous general election operation in 2017, but worked with Johnson on two successful mayoral elections in London.</p><p>The Sunday Times said Crosby is secretly masterminding a plot to destroy <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44749993" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May's Chequers Brexit plan</a> and is in close contact with the European Research Group (ERG), an influential group of Tory MPs campaigning for a hard Brexit.</p><p>Together, they are reportedly planning a nationwide campaign to derail May's plan and, with the support of Johnson, will present an alternative vision for leaving the European Union before the Tory party conference later this month. Crosby is also said to be attempting to revitalise pro-Brexit group Change Britain.</p><p>The work is seen as a front to eventually installing Johnson in 10 Downing Street, where he can deliver on the staunch Brexiteer vision of a clean break from the EU. But a source close to Johnson denied his involvement in the Change Britain plans, telling the Mail on Sunday: "Boris has always backed the aims of Change Britain but he has no role in the organisation."</p><p>Detractors of the Chequers vision are talking up a coup, however. "Lynton's firm is working with the ERG to run this campaign to bring down Chequers. It looks like Lynton is hitting back after falling out over the election campaign and is trying to boot out the prime minister. They want to get Boris in," a source told The Sunday Times. "If we stop Chequers, there is no way she'll survive."</p><p>The Mail on Sunday reported that May is aware of the plot. Citing senior figures at Tory headquarters, it said the prime minister has declared war on Johnson and the attempt to derail her plans. "Boris hasn't thought this through. His plan could result in us delaying leaving the EU, or even not leaving at all. If that happens, the party membership would never forgive him," a source told the newspaper.</p><p>And writing in The Sunday Telegraph, May said the <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/theresa-may-rules-out-another-brexit-referendum-2018-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">government will not accept any compromises to her Chequers Brexit plan "that are not in our national interest." </a>The prime minister also ruled out a second Brexit referendum, saying it would be a "gross betrayal" of democracy and trust.</p><p class="tagline">Our Brexit Insider Facebook group is the best place for up-to-date news and analysis about Britain's departure from the EU, direct from Business Insider's political reporters.
