Engineless runaway train in India gives passengers a scare

Around 1,000 passengers had a narrow escape after a train sped backwards for seven miles without an engine.

People could be heard shouting "pull the emergency chain!" as the train hurtled past a station in the eastern state of Odisha.

The state-run railway has ordered an inquiry into the incident.
