The camera looks down onto the scene of a car wrecked and wedged between 2 train cars. The car's wreckage occupies the lower half of the image. One rescuer climbs over the debris at left and another rescuer climbs over it along the bottom edge at center. Spectators stand beside the wreckage at right. The top of one of the train cars stretches across the top edge.
