Good Morning Britain<\/a> delivered “awful” breaking news<\/a> within moments of going on air today (Wednesday, 14 January).<\/p>\n

Studio correspondent Ranvir Singh, alongside hosts Susanna Reid<\/a> and Ed Balls<\/a>, reported that a crane collapse in Thailand<\/a> has claimed the lives of more than 22 people.<\/p>\n

She said: “Breaking news this morning, at least 22 people have died in Thailand after a crane being used to build a new railway fell on a train running on tracks nearby.<\/p>\n

“It was travelling from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani. The rescuers are on the scene searching for people who may have been trapped.”<\/p>\n

Viewers reacted with shock, with one writing, “That’s really awful,” whilst another added, “Terrible,” reports Wales Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The BBC<\/a> reports that amongst the dozens wounded, a one-year-old child is believed to be the youngest victim, whilst the eldest passenger affected is 59.<\/p>\n

Over 80 individuals are understood to have suffered injuries from the devastating incident, with 55 receiving medical care at Sikhio hospital.<\/p>\n

Whilst most casualties sustained relatively minor wounds, six critically injured patients have been moved to alternative medical facilities for specialist treatment.<\/p>\n

Train crew member Thirasak Wongsoongnern described to local journalists how the three-carriage train’s front section escaped damage, but the rear two carriages were hit.<\/p>\n

He revealed the train was moving at approximately 120km\/h at the moment of the accident.<\/p>\n

When the crane fell, it had been lifting a large concrete segment and dropped the load on the train, causing Wongsoongnern and other passengers to be thrown into the air.<\/p>\n

He said he tried to help other passengers but was unable to reach the second carriage as it was on fire.<\/p>\n

A local resident, Mitr Intrpanya, told AFP news agency that he heard a loud noise and then two explosions.<\/p>\n

He said: “When I went to see what had happened, I found the crane sitting on a passenger train with three carriages.<\/p>\n

“The metal from the crane appeared to strike the middle of the second carriage, slicing it in half.”<\/p>\n
