In our neighboring countries, the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom, the latest developments are reported by all major media. The British channel ‘Sky News’ and the newspaper ‘The Guardian’, like HLN, report in a live blog.
But attention is also being paid to the terrible tragedy in Europe and even beyond. ‘Al Jazeera’ and the ‘Hindustan Times’, one of India’s largest newspapers, among others, pay attention to it. The news has also been picked up in Colombia.
Lowest number
News agency ‘Reuters’ notes that our country has a dense railway network that crosses cities and towns. Accidents at railway crossings are even more common. “Five people were killed in such accidents in 2025, rail infrastructure manager Infrabel reports on its website. That is the lowest number since 2020,” according to ‘Reuters’.
Four people were killed this morning in the collision between a school bus and a train in Buggenhout, East Flanders, according to Minister of Mobility Jean-Luc Crucke (Les Engagés). This concerns the driver, the supervisor and two teenagers.
