印度已对一起造成至少275人死亡、约1200人受伤的火车相撞事故展开官方调查。

官员们表示，他们认为可能是信号故障导致了此次碰撞。这起事故于星期五发生在东部奥里萨邦的巴拉索尔地区。

"It's the first time I have dealt with something like this," said Dr. Utkal Keshari Suna, an official at Bhubaneshwar hospital. "It's been a very difficult experience. I am in forensics, so I am used to dealing with dead bodies, but nothing like this," he added.
布巴内斯瓦尔医院官员乌特卡尔·凯沙利·苏纳博士说：“这是我第一次处理这样的事情。”他还说：“这是一次非常艰难的经历。我从事法医工作，所以我习惯于处理尸体，但没有遇到过这样的事情。”

Suna noted that the identification process was getting more difficult as time passes, and the bodies decompose.

At least 123 trains were either canceled or delayed after the crash. The accident led to higher prices for airline tickets. India's civil aviation ministry, however, warned airlines not to charge higher prices.

Usman Ansari traveled from Bihar to collect the body of his brother-in-law, Kasim Mia. He told The Associated Press that he spent 24 hours on the road along with two friends. But after reaching the site of the crash, they were told the bodies had been moved to Bhubaneswar.

The group borrowed a car to drive to the hospital, where Ansari was able to identify and collect his brother-in-law's body. "Kasim used to say he wanted to do everything for his children," Ansari said. He added that assistance promised by the federal government would help take care of the man's four young children.
