At least 40 people are dead in Pakistan after two trains crashed this morning.

And now the country's prime minister is ordering an investigation into railway safety faultlines.

A train derailed early this morning and then another train passing by hit it. Crews worked for hours to help pull out people trapped in the wreckage.

About 1,100 total passengers were on the two trains combined.
