The extent of the damage is beyond imagination. Anubhav reported that approximately 13 coaches of the Coromandel Express, including general, sleeper, AC 3-tier, and AC 2-tier coaches, were completely dest heart-wrenching statements he mentions witnessing over 200-250 deaths. The scene was nothing short of a nightmare, with crushed families, limbless bodies, and a gruesome bloodbath strewn across the train tracks. It is an indelible image that will haunt Anubhav for the rest of his life.
