Ekstra issued on-the-spot reports on an inferno of debris, empty ølkasser and bottles, which takes up a distance of up to 200 metres.
– the Train keeps on lavbroen one-third the way out from the island of Fyn-ago. It is completely smashed on the front end – it also applies to the multiple panes of the train, says Ekstra man, who adds that there is still the redningspersonel and police at the scene of the accident.
– There is a bent, small pieces of metal, and the scenario testify to this here is done with great force. You can still hear the ground out here, he says.

it still blows strongly, according to Ekstra released far from rescue and investigations easier.
Police investigating the possibly of a criminal nature, may have led to the tragedy, while the Aib investigates the purely security.

– What is your immediate conclusion?
– I can’t say anything about it, but there is a trailer on the train, and a trailer has been involved in the accident with an Intercity-the, that keeps being out (on the vestbroen, ed.), says the investigator, and pointed towards the crashed train.
– lack of a wagon, which apparently has fallen off. What do you think about that a train like this running across the bridge under these circumstances (the wind blew strongly, and the bridge was f.ex. closed for vindfølsomme vehicles, red.)?
I have immediately no opinion about. There are rules for how a train must be unloaded, and the rules for when it should run, ” says Bo Haaning.
