A second group of German exchange students visiting the northeastern Spanish town of Llinars del Valles – where 16 high school students that were on the crashed plane stayed – has left for Germany as planned Wednesday.
But some decided to travel by train instead of by plane following the accident.
Llinars del Valles mayor Marti Pujol i Casals said the Institut Ginebro school had informed him that the students had been asked which way they wanted to travel and that some had decided to fly as originally planned while others decided to take the train. He gave no details as to how many traveled by train.
The students were attending a different school in the town from the one attended by the students killed Tuesday.
