Carriages were thrown off the tracks, some of them crushed and engulfed in flames, when a passenger train and one carrying freight collided on the same track at high speed in central Greece. After evening protests over the past two days, some 2,000 students took to the streets in Athens on Friday, blocking the road in front of parliament for a moment of silence.
"How do you think I feel? It's a disgrace," said another student, 18-year-old Maria Choremi. "All of Greece is crying from morning until evening while they sit in their offices drinking coffee," she said, referring to politicians.
