The day after, and the full horror emerges: 70 dead, 100 still missing

It is now known that more than 70 people were killed in the train crash near Paddington station, London, England. A further 100 people remain unaccounted for, and it is feared that the death toll could rise to 100. It has been established that the driver of one of the trains, who had only qualified very recently, drove his train through a red light shortly after leaving Paddington station. This train collided with a rush-hour express travelling towards the same station.
