Two passenger trains collided head-on Sunday in the east of India, killing at least one person. The number of injured is unclear, and more casualties are feared.

The Internet and Chinese state media continue to ask a steady stream of questions about last Saturday’s deadly high-speed rail accident. The persistent calls for answers come despite government assurances of a thorough investigation. The questioners are challenging the government and its ability to control public opinion.

A spokesman for China’s Railway Ministry has apologized for a high-speed train accident that killed at least 35 people and injured more than 200 others late Saturday. While authorities are focusing now on rescue and recovery efforts, they have also pledged an investigation into what may have caused the two trains to collide.

Two cars from one of China’s new, high-speed bullet trains have derailed, falling off a bridge.

Rescue workers in India recovered more bodies Sunday from the wreckage of a passenger train that derailed and was hit by a cargo train.
