About 1,000 people were aboard each of the trains and many of the passengers were asleep at the time of the pre-dawn disaster. Railway officials said human error was to blame. Police and rescuers are still searching for bodies in the mangled remains of carriages. "I was sleeping. I woke up at the noise of a huge bang and then there was big jerk and smoke all over the place," said a distraught injured passenger, Mohammad Amin. "There was total darkness... I hit the floor and fainted," said Amin who was
desperately searching for his son.
