NAKHON RATCHASIMA: Residents and workers were confronted with a scene of carnage on Wednesday (Jan 14) as they rushed to try and rescue passengers after one of Thailand's worst rail accidents in decades.
"I saw bodies piled up inside a carriage with metal wreckage all over when I looked through the window... We tried to pull them out but they were trapped," 28-year-old waitress Penporn Poomrateuk told AFP.
