[quote]Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper says the part of Lac-Megantic affected by Saturday's crude oil explosion looks like a "war zone".
At least five people died when runaway train cars packed with crude oil derailed and blew up early on Saturday.
Some 30 buildings had been completely incinerated by fires which engulfed the historic centre, said Mr Harper.
Police are trying to find 40 missing people: a nearby bar was said to have been crowded at the time of the blast.
"This is an enormous area, 30 buildings just completely destroyed, for all intents and purposes incinerated,'' Harper said. ``There isn't a family that is not affected by this.''
The fires were so intense and burnt for so long that Quebec police warn some bodies may never be recovered.
The five bodies found are so charred they have been sent to Montreal for identification, police say.
Fires were finally extinguished early on Sunday evening.[/quote]

This accident is terrible.
I hate to say it, but I'm sure they'll find more and more deaths. Some people were in a nearby bar that was about like 30 feet away when the explosion went off. That bar is now completely razed to the ground.
I hope that the people going though this will soon recover.
Finally i see a post talking about it. this is terrible. Even more since im living about 1 hours by car from there. th
worst of all.. Im living right next to a railway used as transportation line such as diesel fuel etc...
