112: Has he informed you herself?
Father Passenger: I don’t know who has informed us, we go to where the accident has happened?

Father passenger: I don’t know who called me
112: What do you mean you don’t know who called you?
Some of the relatives were in Athens that night. At the hearing of the sad news they immediately started for Larissa.
Divine Passenger: We want to say where exactly
112: I can’t give you such information that has been the accident in Larissa
Divine Passenger: Do we go to Larissa? Where are we going? Because we have left my Lady of Athens because it is my niece. It can be injured, whatever. I am a doctor.

Audio Documentary A few minutes after the accident
Immediately afterwards, the same show published another audio documentary showing the chaos between the authorities. There was a soldier on the train, who as soon as the accident was removed and went to call for help.
EKAB: Hello sir. Tell me a little bit, you got away, you didn’t see any ambulance?
Passenger: When I left there was nothing and because he had caught fire I was scared.
EKAB: Now what exactly do you have?
Passenger: I don’t know, I have hit my head I feel heavy, I have blood I don’t know.
EKAB: The point is that all my stations are near the train, I have no ability to send something more peripheral because I don’t have it. Everyone is there and they receive, they are all stations.
Passenger: I understood it. I was scared because it had fire.
EKAB: I understood.
Passenger: I got away.
EKAB: Now that you have walked you have visual contact with some of them …, I don’t know now and where you are.
Passenger: Basically the phone can’t see where it is?
EKAB: 112 I don’t know if I can … I don’t see a mark right now.
112: If I had a stigma of an item I would obviously tell you, so that I obviously don’t have any item.
EKAB: That’s why I tell you I don’t see a mark, so I can’t tell you where the man is. But I explain to him, I didn’t blame you. And here there is really a lot of difficulty right now.
112: I understand it but we as a 112 I can’t help but give you the call.
EKAB: Yes I didn’t say no but I don’t know where to identify a man we can’t find from the stigma that sees a sign just in the dark.
112: Yes, but we are in Athens and it gets us from a card, that is, if it is difficult for you to think about us. At least from some description you understand why we do not know the areas there so that we can inform you.
EKAB: Yes, you hear me? Lord, do you hear me? 112 left the line? Has it closed?
112: No he has gone to find someone to ask from what I understood.
EKAB: Yes, tell me
Passenger: Here it has a sign that says “Tempi Community of Municipal Gonna”, so it says. With two NN.
EKAB: Yes, you don’t have a mobile with you so I can call.
Passenger: No I don’t have because it fell into the wagon and came out like, as.
