Greece marks a year since worst train crash

TEMPI, Greece: Church bells tolled, vehicles came to a halt and marchers gathered across Greece on Wednesday as the country marked a year since the "national trauma" of its deadliest train crash, which killed 57 people and injured dozens more.

Trains, ferries and taxis came to a virtual standstill at midnight across the South European country to commemorate the head-on collision on Feb. 28, 2023 that prompted mourning and days of angry protests that blamed official failings and an unsafe rail system for the tragedy.
