In an atmosphere of sorrow, 23-year-old Iphigenia Mickka, who, like dozens of young men and women, died on the fateful train after a violent collision with a freight train, was buried in the morning in the St. Peter and Paul Church in Giannitsa. Tempe.

The unfortunate Iphigenia was in car 3 and was returning from the three-day Shrovetide Monday with her partner. She never made it to her loved ones. The inconsolable family, relatives, friends and residents of Giannitsa showered her with white rose petals. A white balloon with a ribbon flew high into the sky during the last farewell to the 23-year-old boy.

Deep sadness also in the holy church of St. George in Cordelio, where a memorial service was held for 67-year-old George Kyriakidis. “We are in shock. Everyone is for everyone, not just for George,” says one of the friends of the unfortunate 67-year-old man who met his death on the fateful train.

At the Holy Church of the Resurrection of the Lord in Thermi, relatives, friends and a large crowd said goodbye to 28-year-old Sotiris Karageorgiou, who was traveling to Athens with his friend Dimitris. It was not possible to get to Thessaloniki.

Unspeakable pain, countless “whys” for the many families who bury their loved ones, the victims of the worst rail accident on record in the country. Devastated relatives are looking for answers and justice.
