Details are still coming in of a rush-hour commuter train crash outside Brussels Monday morning 15 February: at least 20 people have died, according to the mayor of Halle, 15 km southwest of Brussels. A large  number of cars are over-turned and spilling off the tracks, TV footage shows. One witness said one of the trains did not brake at all, but the cause of the crash is not yet known. Service in and out of Brussels by rail is seriously disrupted, with power lines reportedly affected by the collision.
