Five dead, 40 missing in Canadian train blast

The death toll from the explosion of a
runaway freight train in a small Quebec
town rose to five on Sunday and
another 40 people are missing, police
said on Sunday.
The driverless train derailed and blew
up early Saturday in Lac-Megantic,
destroying dozens of buildings in the
center of the town.
"Two more people have been
recovered, two more bodies, which
brings the total to five … there are
about 40 people, more or less, who are
considered to be missing," police
spokesman Michel Brunet told
reporters. "There could be more, there
could be less."
