Survivors of the disaster have released several statements and images, with the majority of them describing the terrifying ordeal they went through. A team of around 2,000 people had to work quickly to cut through tonnes of steel and locate the hundreds of people trapped inside the rubble.

Recently, a new video surfaced that captures the precise moment the Coromandel Express crashed. However, Bharat Express has not been able to confirm the legitimacy of the footage.

The video captures passengers and a cleaning staff member in the carriage of the Coromandal Express, appearing relaxed while a staff member wipes the floor. Suddenly, a violent shock jolts the train, causing the film to blur and cries to be heard. The shrieks continue after the video goes dark for a short while, but it ends suddenly.
