According to a Barangay patroler, the three were wandering betweed the train tracks around 6:00 the evening.  That is the last time that they were seen alive.

As the train approaches, one of the security guards called the attentions of the three kids to warn them but he was not heard because the horn of the train was too loud.

The train was approaching from a curve lane, so the three kids didn't know where it was coming.

The three victims were residents of Sta. Mesa who went out to see some of their mates to play basketball.

The three suffered from tromendous  injuries and they died all of a sudden and there was no way that they could have survived such horrendous accident. Their bodies were just so severed.

According to a witness, the three seemed to be going to a safe location or spot when they heard they heard the approaching train, then all of a sudden ,  out of confusion, they all jumped to the rail track where the train was heading. Apparently, they were all clueless as to where the train was coming from.

Up to now, the authorities have not identified the three minors who died in the incidents and they are now coordinating with the operator of Philippine National Railways for further investigation.
