Chinese netizens outraged over response to fatal bullet train crash - CNN.com

"By the time the railway ministry held its first press conference more than 24 hours after the collision, the public had seen not just reports of passengers trapped inside dark trains or images of a mangled car dangling off the bridge --but also bulldozers crushing mangled cars that had fallen to the ground and burying the wreckage on site. "How can we cover up an accident that the whole world already knew about?" said a defiant railway ministry spokesman Wang Yongping. "They told me they buried the car to facilitate the rescue effort --and I believe this explanation."

Wang was terse when reporters asked him to explain the fact that a toddler girl was being pulled out of the wreckage alive 20 hours after the accident --and long after authorities declared no more signs of life in the trains..

"That was a miracle," he said."
