62 injured as HK train derails

A TWO-CAR train derailed on Hong Kong's light railway in the north of the city yesterday, injuring 62 people.

Passengers sat dazed on the ground near where the train derailed, some bleeding and being treated by medics. Others were taken away on stretchers, television news footage showed.

Three people who were seriously injured had already been taken to hospital according to state-run broadcaster RTHK.

"It was driving too fast," a female passenger told Cable TV News. She said the train lost control when it was making a turn.

"It was very chaotic inside the train, there was some blood," she said. "All the passengers fell flat on the floor," a young boy said.

"It was like a ball game where everybody was bouncing around ... we didn't even know what happened and then we all fell onto the floor," another passenger said.

Everything just runs more smoothly if the chap in charge has an ostrich feather in his hat.
