Watch: Rescuers search wreckage of deadly Greece train crash

At least 36 people have died and dozens more were injured in the head-on collision between two trains near the city of Larissa on Tuesday night.

Rescuers have been working through the night to find survivors.

We heard a big bang,” said 28-year-old passenger Stergios Minenis, who jumped to safety from the wreckage.

“We were turning over in the carriage until we fell on our sides and until the commotion stopped. Then there was panic. Cables, fire. The fire was immediate. As we were turning over we were being burned. Fire was right and left,” Mr Minenis was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency. 

“For 10, 15 seconds it was chaos. Tumbling over, fires, cables hanging, broken windows, people screaming, people trapped.”

People have described having to crawl through windows and over broken glass as they tried to escape.

According to one shaken passenger who spoke to Skai television, “the windows suddenly exploded” and “people were screaming and were afraid”.

“Fortunately, we were able to open the doors and escape fairly quickly. In other wagons, they did not manage to get out, and one wagon even caught fire.”

Survivors said they were forced to break carriage windows with their bodies or luggage to escape the burning wreckage. 

Passenger Angelos Tsiamouras told Greek broadcaster ERT the crash had felt like an earthquake, and he smashed the train window using his suitcase. “We broke the windows with our backs,” another unnamed passenger said. 

One survivor, Lazos, told the newspaper Protothema: “I wasn’t hurt, but I was stained with blood from other people who were injured near me.”
