    Rescuers work at the site of a train collision in Szczekociny, Poland, March 3. Two trains collided head-on in southern Poland late Saturday, killing several people and injuring around 50 in what appears to be one of the worst rail disasters in the country in recent years.

    "The rescue is difficult and complicated," firefighter Jaroslaw Wojtasik told Polish television.

    "The damage to the wagons is huge. We have contact with victims. We are approaching very cautiously."

    "I felt the blow," said an unnamed survivor. "I hit the person before me. The lights went out. Everything flew. We flew over the compartment like bags. We could hear screams. We prayed."
