Train crash leaves 63 people dead
DURBAN, South Africa — A speeding train filled with Black commuters derailed yesterday, and 63 people died when the cars smashed into a wooded hill. A railway investigator was trying to determine whether a bomb sent the train off the tracks.
The Associated Press
a thunderstorm burst when, 12 hours after the crash, workers using cranes completed the grisly task of lifting the eight derailed coaches. Bodies had been found throughout the sweltering day, but officials said they did not expect to find any more dead.
Survivors and witnesses said the train had been traveling too fast, but sabotage was considered a possibility, given the pervasive violence in the run up to April's all-race election — a vote that could end white-minority rule and likely put the African National Congress in power.
The train was approaching a station outside the northeastern port city of Durban, which is about 350 miles southeast of Johannesburg, at about 5:20 a.m. when all but two of its 10 cars derailed. Rail officials said that about 800 commuters had been on board, most of them Black, traveling from the Kato Ridge suburb into Durban.
About 370 people were injured.
Police have blamed pro-apartheid whites for bombings this year of ANC and government targets, including railway tracks. Blacks also have been blamed for some terrorist attacks.
Throughout the day yesterday, rescue workers struggled to carry victims hundreds of yards across steep terrain to ambulances. Helicopters and a military plane were called in to help transport people to hospitals.
Police hauled bloody handbags, shoes, food and severed limbs from the wreckage while shocked survivors and spectators watched from the surrounding hills.
Passengers and witnesses said the train had appeared to be traveling far too quickly before it derailed.
Hundreds of onlookers became angry. One man berated a policeman who stuffed four bodies into a police van.
"We just got dizzy. We didn't know whether we were falling over the hills or what," said Fios Xaba, who was in the front coach and escaped with minor injuries.
The representative for the rail company Spoormet, Sylvia Mbhele, said, "At this point in time, we don't know what caused the train to derail, but we are not ruling out the possibility of a bomb or foul play."
"The driver was going like hell on all the bends," another survivor. David

Shabalala, told the South African Press Association.
A low-ranking ANC official, Sithuywa Dube, demanded an independent inquiry into the accident, saying he was convinced that it was politically motivated.
Rail officials said the engineer, who was uninjured, had been taken for blood tests, as is routine after an accident. The engineer also was questioned by police.
Some survivors said that the train's white engineer had threatened passengers before the crash that they would never reach their destination, said Dube, who was translating for Zulu-speaking survivors.
