00:00With 68 lives lost in Spain's deadly train disaster, anger has now spilled onto the streets.
00:07Hundreds of protesters gathered outside Spain's transport ministry,
00:12demanding the resignation of Transport Minister Oscar Puente.
00:17Protesters branded Puente the Minister of Death, hurling bottles and flares at the police.
00:23Officers responded with tear gas to disperse the crowd.
00:26Meanwhile, authorities say that a computer system failure disrupted rail safety across a 63-kilometre stretch of track.
00:36The state-owned rail operator ADIF then took manual control,
00:40allowing a Renfe high-speed train to proceed despite a red signal and without speed restrictions.
00:48The train reportedly reached around 124 miles per hour before colliding with a stationary Iriotrain.
00:56Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's travel to the site promised a full and transparent investigation
01:01and it declared three days of national mourning.
01:06The deadly train crash has left 68 people dead and many more injured.
01:12A massive rescue operation is underway as authorities investigate the cause of the collision.
01:17Meanwhile, India has reached out to its citizens in Spain.
01:21The Indian embassy in Madrid had urged Indians affected by the tragedy to get in touch.
01:28Let's take a look at this report.
01:36Overturned carriages, passengers caught in the wreckage and emergency services racing against time to rescue people.
01:44These are the chilling visuals emerging after two high-speed trains collided in Spain.
01:52A train carrying 397 passengers ramped into a stationary train,
01:57which had 147 passengers and a baby on board at around 9 a.m. local time in Udda
02:04on the high-speed line connecting Madrid and Andalusia.
02:09The impact derailed two carriages, sending them down an embankment.
02:14Rescue teams rushed to the scene as passengers were evacuated from the mangled carriages.
02:22The ministry is trying to determine the causes of this terrible tragedy
02:26and understand how and why it happened.
02:28We are going to get to the bottom of this.
02:31And if there was any negligence, it will come to light.
02:34If there were failures in the safety system, we will address them decisively.
02:43Survivors described being thrown against seats and ceilings as the train collided.
02:52We were having breakfast, having a coffee and we felt a huge impact.
02:57We were all thrown into air.
02:59I am reasonably okay.
03:00My friend is quite worse.
03:03Luckily, it happened while having a coffee.
03:05Otherwise, I was traveling in Coach 7.
03:11While some escaped with cuts and bruises,
03:13others were left searching for near and dear ones.
03:17It was chaotic, practically.
03:22I was very close to the door,
03:23but other passengers were breaking the window glasses to be able to get out.
03:27Some people practically couldn't move
03:29because they were trapped amongst the seats.
03:34As investigators raced to piece together
03:37the moments that led to this devastating collision,
03:40the possibility of human error is now under scrutiny.
03:44This is Spain's second deadly rail disaster this year,
03:48raising fresh and urgent questions about railway safety.
03:52And as families grapple with loss and a nation seeks answers,
03:55the investigation must focus on whether warning signs were missed
04:00and what must change to ensure such a nightmare never happens again.
04:04But behind every clue lies a far more painful question.
04:08Could this tragedy have been prevented?
