A horrifying train crash that killed at least 78 and injured over 140 in Spain was captured on video.
While the speed limit of the bend the train went around was 50 mph, one of the drivers of the train admitted it was going 120 mph around the bend, causing the train to violently derail.
“We’re only human! We’re only human!” one of the train operators said to the newspaper El Pais. “I hope there are no dead, because this will fall on my conscience.”
The train was set to go from Madrid to Ferrol, but all eight train cars derailed near the city of Santiago de Compostela
It’s been decades since the world has seen a train crash of this nature.
“The train traveled very fast and derailed and turned over on the bend in the track. It’s a disaster. I’ve been very lucky because I’m one of the few to be able to walk out,” said Sergio Prego, a passenger on the train.
Many people arrived to the scene to look for loved ones, only to find the worst-case scenario had occurred.
Not all was negative, however, as hundreds of people showed up in the middle of the night in order to donate blood to victims of this horrific accident.
Below is video of both the crash and the aftermath. We warn you, these are not for the faint of heart.
