It was the worst train crash in 40 years in Spain. The accident happened Wednesday evening when travelling from Madrid to Ferrol. It derailed on a bend after coming out of a tunnel.
There were a total of 218 passengers plus crew inside the train, which was full because people were going to Santiago de Compostela on the eve of a festival dedicated to St. James, one of Jesus's 12 disciples. St.James' remains are said to rest in Santiago's centuries-old cathedral.
