Video has emerged of the moment that a passenger train and cargo train collided in Greece late Tuesday night, killing at least 46 people in the country's deadliest-ever rail disaster.
Officials still haven't said exactly how the two trains ended up on a collision course on the same track, but the man in charge of a station in central Greece who was arrested Wednesday in connection with the crash has reportedly accepted"responsibility."
"I believe the responsibility, the negligence, the error has been confessed by the station master," Yiannis Economou told journalists. The country's federal Transportation Minister Kostas Karamanlis announced his resignation Wednesday,"as a basic indication of respect for the memory of the people who died so unfairly."He called it"the least he could do to honor the memory of the victims" as he spoke on live television, adding that he was taking responsibility for"long-standing failures" in the country's transport network.
