Sebasti\u00e1n Herrero, 46, from Seville, was travelling on the train that was hit by the second train. <\/p>\n

He told El Mundo that shortly after the train came to a halt, he felt a “terrible, terrible impact” and was thrown onto the seats in front of him. <\/p>\n

“After we fell, there were many people with broken noses, broken arms… We started seeing smoke everywhere.” <\/p>\n

A plainclothes police officer arrived and began ordering everyone to evacuate, he says.<\/p>\n

Another passenger, I\u00f1aki, 60, tells newspaper El Pais that he felt the train stop before “a strong impact” that sent him rolling on the floor. <\/p>\n

Outside the carriage, he saw injured people and fatalities. <\/p>\n

Fernando Seco told El Espanol that the impact was followed by suitcases flying across the carriage. <\/p>\n

But the worst came after he left the train and saw a “horrible scene”. <\/p>\n

“There were many injured people, a lot of blood and many dead,” he says. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Passengers describe ‘terrible impact’ and ‘horrible scenes’published at 12:36 GMT 12:36 GMT Laura GozziEurope reporter Sebasti\u00e1n Herrero, 46,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":816538,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-816537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816537","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=816537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/816538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=816537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=816537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=816537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
