Deadly train crash near Buenos AiresTrain crash in Argentina

At least three people are killed and at 315 injured as a commuter train hits a stationary train near Buenos Aires, Argentine officials say.

The accident happened near the Castelar station, about 30km (19 miles) west of the capital, when a commuter train hit another empty, stationary train.

R.I.P.

Didn't one of the world's worst crashes occur in that part of the world years ago?
