Now "at least 12 dead".

Officially being called a "derailment" (according to my wife's translation from spanish ABC).

Not yet being covered by El Pais, so this JUST happened.

It looks like it is right under the walking bridge that the camino follows on the way into SdC

It was a fiesta weekend to boot.

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
EDIT: The information I gave was wrong, I apologise. My thoughts are with the passengers and their families and friends.

"At least 24 dead and +50 wounded" reports a major norw. paper right now. This seems to be a huge accident, most unfortunately.

"There are many dead here - My Lord!" says a neighbor to the scene, to El Pais

UPDATE: According to this website:
http://www.abc.es/local-galicia/2013072 ... 42128.html

"at least 35 dead".

Indeed. This is terrible.
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
I have just watched the late TV news in Norway. The train derailed on its way into the train station of SdC. Judging by the TV coverage, the damage is massive to several railcars. I fear numbers of victims will rise.
