Dubbed one of "Europe's worst" rail disasters, a high-speed train carrying over 247 passengers, running at 190 kilometres/hr (120 miles/hr), veered off the tracks, slammed into a concrete wall, and flew in every direction, while it was coming around the bend.
Approximately 100 people injured and more than 80 dead (at last count), as investigators are questioning the driver and the maneuverings that led the train to derail so violently. Investigation is still ongoing.
Crash took place in the small Northwestern town of Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
