Train plows into Buenos Aires station, injuring dozens



An Argentine passenger train plowed into a central Buenos Aires terminal on Saturday, injuring more than 30 passengers at the same station where 51 people were killed last year.
Angry commuters surrounded the conductor's car at the Terminal Once station shouting "murderer" before police and emergency personnel extracted the driver, according to mobile telephone video broadcast on television.
The conductor was hospitalized in police custody and 10 passengers were admitted to local clinics, authorities said.
