Thousands are expected to protest on Friday, two years after the country's worst-ever train crash killed 57 people

On Feb. 28, 2023, a passenger train and freight train collided, leaving 57 dead. New evidence suggests many may not have been killed by the crash itself, but by a fire that followed.

Air, sea and train transport was halted and mass protests were planned in Greece on Friday in anger over a perceived lack of justice two years after the country's worst-ever train crash killed 57 people.

Greece is expected to come to a standstill Friday with sweeping strikes and protests to mark the second anniversary of the country's worst rail tragedy, that left 57 dead in 2023.

Two years after a devastating train crash in Greece, a strike and demonstrations are bringing the nation to a standstill on the anniversary of the tragedy.

The Feb. 28, 2023, disaster in Tempe – where a passenger train collided head-on with an oncoming freight train – was Greece’s worst railway accident. The fiery crash also left dozens injured and exposed deficiencies in the country’s transportation infrastructure.

Greeks are protesting throughout the country on Friday to mark the second anniversary of the nation’s deadliest train crash.

Two years after the country’s deadliest rail disaster, many are still demanding greater safety and accountability.
