Deadly train crash in Spain
Hundreds of passengers were aboard the two high-speed trains when they collided in central Spain, leaving dozens dead, Good Morning America reports.
ABC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Ian Pannell describes an unfolding emergency on the Madrid-Seville line. Aerial footage and passenger videos show derailed and crushed carriages, with emergency responders working alongside the wreckage. Citing reports from Spain's Transport Ministry, Pannell says one train hit the other from behind.
The brief report, titled "Deadly train crash in Spain," reached roughly 86,000 views in its first 15 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for a Short. Its opening death toll is an early reported count, not a final accounting of the disaster.
Pannell also reports that the Spanish government suspended its business to address the crisis. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed shock at the serious train accident.
