Spain holds minute of silence as country mourns train crash victims #RTÉNews #spain

At Madrid's Atocha station, people stand together in silence. One woman bows her head; a man folds his arms. RTÉ News's brief clip records the tribute without commentary, music or any other sound.

The broadcaster reports that minutes of silence were held across Spain after one train struck another from behind in the central region of Castilla-La Mancha. According to RTÉ, 69 people died and 50 were being treated in hospital. Its report describes the collision as Spain's second high-speed rail disaster this year, raising fresh concerns about railway safety.

Alongside reports examining the collision and the emergency response, this footage documents the public mourning that followed. The final scene moves from the railway station to the steps of Spain's parliament, where officials and politicians stand assembled for their own moment of silence.
