A Survivor's Story

Two years ago I was travelling with my friends to France by train. While we were crossing the Pyrenees, we heard an explosion. My friends and I looked out of the window and then we only heard the silence and the noise of the train. We were frightened. Then we saw some rocks falling down the mountain. People started to shout and cry. When the landslide crashed into the train, it derailed. I don't remember what happened when the rocks buried the train. Minutes after the disaster, I woke up with a big headache. I saw people who were injured and some of them who was injured, quickly, I ran to him to help him. He had some critical injuries but he was going to survive. I stood up to be able to find some of my other friends. Soon I found another friend, but he was under a giant rock. I tried to help him but it was too late, he died. I saw the others, because they were standing up but with some injuries. I can't forget this terrible accident even ten years later. In the disster there were one hundred and seventy casualties and twenty of them were killed.
