ST. PETERSBURG, June 27. Vorkuta resident Elena Andranovich, who was traveling on a derailed train in the Komi Republic, said that even those passengers who were injured tried to help other victims.
On Wednesday, nine cars of passenger train No. 511 Vorkuta — Novorossiysk derailed on the stretch to Komi. According to Komi Governor Vladimir Uiba, the train contained 195 passengers and 20 railway workers. According to the latest data, 3 people were killed and 10 people were injured.
As Andranovich wrote on her page on the VKontakte social network, she was going on vacation in one of the carriages of the Vorkuta-Novorossiysk train that stood on the rails. “I would like to say about the decency and humanity of our people! So, Volodya Filippov (in my opinion, from Sosnogorsk) with lacerations on his head, (which — ed.) somehow… bandaged with some rags, broke the windows of overturned cars and pulled people out,” the woman said.
She also remembered the young man from the cadet school who bandaged the victims and provided them with first aid.
«And… there were many such real men… They, despite the shards of glass, pouring rain, saved people. This, probably, is the most important human wealth — not to ignore someone else’s misfortune, to come to help is what we call humanity,” Andranovich concluded.
