Chitheri (TN), Sept 14: This sleepy village in Tamil Nadu’s Vellore district woke up to the sound of a big bang caused by collision of two trains here with locals initially mistaking it to a ‘bomb blast’.
“We all first thought it was a bomb blast. The sound was so deafening. But later we realised that it was a train accident. When I reached the spot, it was dark and smoke had engulfed the area,” Chidambaram, a local resident, who was among the first to reach the spot, said.
For daily commuters who travel by the two trains, the accident turned out to be shocking experience last night as none would have expected that a routine halt at a signal could shatter their return home and land them in hospital.
