Tales of near-death experience from one of the worst-hit Coromandel coaches

Survivors, who emerged from coach S1 of Shalimar-Coromandel Express, one of the worst affected compartments that had been flung in the air and landed atop a goods train wagon, are yet to come to terms with the reality after the near-death experience on Friday night. While the half a dozen-odd passengers from various parts of South 24 Parganas that TOI spoke to survived the horrific crash, many more acquaintances of theirs from neighbouring villages died in the accident while some others are on the list of missing persons.
