In the accident where a limited express train derailed in a tunnel in Hualien County, eastern Taiwan on the morning of the 2nd, 50 passengers, drivers and 50 people were killed and more than 170 people were injured.



The train consisted of 8 cars, and the 3 cars behind it stopped in front of the tunnel.



At the dawn site, the work of moving the vehicles began, first using a large crane to lift two of the vehicles outside the tunnel and placing them on the new rails that were replaced in the middle of the night. I was moving it by connecting it to the locomotive that was waiting.



On the other hand, the cars in the tunnel are severely damaged and the work is expected to be difficult, and Taiwanese authorities estimate that it will take about 7 days to move all the cars and restore the train operation completely.



Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen visited a hospital in Hualien County on the morning of the 3rd, and after visiting the injured, told reporters, "I will do my best to get the maximum support from the families of the injured and the dead. It corresponds to the correspondence. "
