Another Oil "Bomb Train" Derails in Canada 
-------------------------------------------


 
In Canada, another so-called bomb train laden with crude oil has
derailed in northern Ontario, marking at least the fourth fiery
derailment in North America in three weeks. The train laden with oil
from Alberta caused a massive fire and a shroud of black smoke. Five
cars went into the Makami River. Meanwhile, fires were still burning in
Illinois after a train carrying oil from North Dakota derailed Thursday.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency warns the spill threatens the
Mississippi River.
