Most passengers were asleep at the time of the crash between trains heading to Dhaka and Chittagong.
Rescuers in Bangladesh were battling today to pull passengers from mangled wreckage after a head-on collision of two trains killed at least 15 people and injured more than 40, officials said.
"More than 40 injured people have been admitted in hospitals," Khan said, adding that some were in critical condition."Suddenly there was a big bang. I saw people screaming," a passenger of the Dhaka-bound train said in television images from the site.
