High-Speed Train Derails in Turkey, Killing 128 People and Injuring 57
ANKARA, Turkey July 22, 2004 ? A high-speed train derailed Thursday in northwestern Turkey, killing 128 people, a Turkish health ministry official said.
Health ministry undersecretary Nejdet Unuvar said 57 people were injured in the derailment of the train, a newly opened fast connection from Istanbul to the capital, Ankara. The cause was not known, but the train began operating on June 4 amid controversy, with critics saying the tracks were old and could not withstand the new, high-speed cars.
