A vast amount of evidence points to the an illegal container of flammablie lquids,almost certainly xylene, as the cause of the massive fireball which killed most of the Tempi train collision victims.
Now even the official report has not denied that the fireball may have been caused by xylene because whatever fuel was in the train engine cannot account for the intensity of the fire.

An expert report reveals that 10 tons of flammable liquids were present on a train involved in the Tempi crash, causing the deaths of 30 passengers after the collision. This revelation further fuels allegations of a cover-up in Greece's worst railway disaster.
The ongoing investigation into the tragic Tempi train collision of February 28, 2023, has taken a pivotal turn with the submission of a new report by an expert team hired by the families of the victims of the railway crash.
Led by Vasilis Kokotsakis, a seasoned expert in fire investigations, the team submitted their report to the appellate investigator in Larissa. The report sheds light on the causes of the disaster, which claimed 57 lives, and reveals new evidence challenging earlier narratives, including those put forth by the Greek government.
According to the findings, the deaths of 30 passengers occurred after the collision and were linked to the presence of large amounts of flammable liquids—not silicone oil from the trains’ transformers, as previously alleged.
Instead, the report identifies over 10 tons of aromatic hydrocarbons at the collision site, a conclusion supported by chemical analyses and advanced scientific methods. Crucially, the report correlates survivor audio recordings and video footage, highlighting harrowing cries for air and delayed deaths caused by the fire.
Adding to the gravity of these revelations is drone footage from the Fire Brigade, which captured unauthorized individuals—allegedly linked to implicated companies—at the wreckage site hours after the disaster. This raises serious concerns about potential evidence tampering, fueling calls for legal accountability and upgraded charges against key individuals.
The findings undermine earlier claims that silicone oil was the primary cause of the fire, instead pointing to systemic failures and significant mishandling of the investigation.

Documents from the State Chemistry to which the samples were sent have now revealed the presence of various substances, including xylene, as reported by Dnews. The samples were collected by the Larissa Chemical Service on March 29, 2023, exactly one month after the accident, highlighting concerns over the significant delay in the collection process. It took a week for the samples to reach the laboratories, having been received by the State General Chemistry on April 6, 2023.
The analysis detected cyclic methylsiloxanes and xylene on the exterior surface of the commercial train, among other substances. A second sample, taken from the fiberglass of the first electric car of the freight train on the same day, also tested positive for xylene. Despite previous denials, documents, including four additional reports, confirm that the authorities were aware of the presence of xylene in the samples from as early as May 3, contradicting their earlier claims.

Nearly half of the Tempi victims did not die from the train collision but from the explosion that followed, caused by flammable liquids carried by the freight train. This conclusion of the expert team commissioned by the Tempi victims’ families sent shockwaves all over Greece.
The conclusion is documented, among others,s by an audio that surfaced this week from calls to the emergency line 112 of passengers who survived the collision before burning alive from the explosion that followed. Important questions arise, especially since the PM had clearly stated that the freight train was carrying no flammable material.
A mysterious disappearance triggered rumors of a possible connection with the Tempi case. At the same time, the opposition has accused the government of passing a bill allowing them to intervene in forensic reports. The specific clause is said to have been added after the publication of the aforementioned Tempi report.
The report proved the government was lying
Thirty passengers survived the train collision but died due to flammable liquids, which were not the engine’s silicone oils. This is the shocking conclusion of the final report submitted to Larissa Appellate Investigator by expert Vasilis Kokotsakis on the explosion and fire that followed the deadly Tempi train collision on February 28, 2023, in which 57 people lost their lives.
The report, commissioned by the victims’ relatives and signed by a team of experts headed by Kokotsakis, unequivocally states that 30 of the 57 victims initially survived the fatal collision but were burned alive due to hydrocarbons.
“The state’s experts did not address the explosion, resulting in 19 months of obscurity regarding the fact that 30 people survived the train collision but burned alive due to the explosion,” Kokotsakis said in an exclusive interview with Astra TV.
He emphasized this was the first time in his career that he encountered so many difficulties in an investigation. “All the evidence was altered—everything. After the site was filled in, and with so many months have passed, evidence has been ‘buried’ under the soil. We reached out as experts to Texas for more information about xylene, and what we discovered is that the concentration, for example, of 0.38 in the soil is much higher and more worrying. The silicone oils, which have been the subject of much discussion during this period, had not even been heated,” he added.
Moreover, based on the material in the new report, Mr. Kokotsakis questioned why specific individuals, without any official justification, were at the accident site at 4 a.m., conducting searches on and off the tracks. A Fire Department’s drone recorded their presence.
"They perished within three agonizing minutes… Within seconds, 8 tons of combustible materials, hydrocarbons, and chemical solvents created a hellish fire that caused the martyrdom of 30 people," Mr. Kokotsakis described, visibly shaken. "Twenty-eight minutes after the collision, the fire was still burning. We cannot know how strong and toxic the materials carried by the passenger train were. Unfortunately, after the filling in of the site, important evidence was lost," he added. "But when you hear a passenger shouting, 'I’m running out of oxygen, I can’t breathe,' you immediately seek scientific answers. This usually happens when chemical solvents are burning," the technical advisor revealed. "I urge the scientific community to listen to the audio recordings, as they will reveal the cause that killed these children."

Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that belongs to the group volatile organic compounds (VOC). There are three different isomers of xylene; ortho-, meta-, and para-xylene. Xylene, as a blend of isomers, is a very flammable liquid that is colourless and has a sweetish odour. Xylenes have low water solubility.1
