A packed passenger train slammed into the end of the line Wednesday in Buenos Aires, killing 49 people and injuring about 600 hundred more who were in the midst of their morning commute.

The accident is the worst in Argentina since 1970, when two trains collided at full speed in Buenos Aires, killing 200.
