Runaway train explodes in Canadian town

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3psJM_MZmDI At least one person has been killed after a driver-less freight train, carrying crude oil, derailed at high speed and exploded into a giant fireball. It happened in the small Canadian town of Lac-Megantic early on Saturday morning.Dozens of buildings were destroyed, many of them totally flattened. The train, which was transporting crude oil from North Dakota to eastern Canada, had been held a few kilometres away for a crew change before the accident happened. Without a driver, it somehow then rolled into the town and derailed. The train’s operators said they do not know how it was able to move. An investigation is now underway. Source: Euronews.com
