ZHOUCUN, Shandong, May 2 (Xinhua) -- A total of 72
people were confirmed dead in the fatal train wreck in east China's Shandong
Province, officials said on Friday, citing forensic reports and DNA tests.
All the identities of those killed had been confirmed
by 6 p.m. on Friday. The results conformed with the identification by families

Sixty-three of the 416 injured had been discharged by
Friday evening, while 150 others were transferred to hospitals elsewhere for
treatment and 203 remained hospitalized in Zibo City, officials said.
