Video filmed by a passenger inside one of the trains involved in yesterday\u2019s crash shows a member of staff instructing passengers to remain inside the carriage, urging them to stay together and look out for one another.<\/p>\n

The footage was uploaded to social media on Sunday evening by passenger Adri V\u00e9lez, who wrote on X that people in the carriage were safe, but that they were unsure about the condition of others. <\/p>\n

V\u00e9lez added that there was smoke inside the train and that passengers could be heard calling for a doctor.<\/p>\n

At least 39 people were killed after the Madrid-bound train derailed and crashed into an oncoming one, although Spain\u2019s transport minister has cautioned this number is \u201cnot yet final\u201d. <\/p>\n

Emergency services have said 122 people were treated for injuries and 48, including five children, are still in hospital.<\/p>\n

In the video, the staff member tells passengers to stay seated, while those who are standing are asked to move towards the front carriages, where there are empty seats.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s safer to stay inside the train for now because we don\u2019t know the condition of the track,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

In a later post on X, V\u00e9lez wrote: \u201cAt the time, I was recording and posting without really being aware of much. Now, having had time to reflect, I want to thank the staff at @iryo_eu, who were incredibly professional despite everything.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Video shows staff urging people to remain calm after train crashpublished at 14:07 GMT 14:07 GMT By Kayleen…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378476,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-378475","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378475\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
