The on-duty stationmaster involved in the deadly train crash in Greece appeared before an appellate investigator today, requesting additional time to respond to inquiries about deficiencies in safety protocols. A petition was also filed by a victim’s parent seeking investigation into procedural irregularities at the accident scene. Meanwhile, newly released automated messages from passengers’ smartphones captured moments post-collision; however, experts doubt they offer substantial insight into the explosion and subsequent fire. An authenticity confirmation of a private video is anticipated, along with a report from a chemical expert assessing fire ignition and spread.
