At
least five people were killed and 27 injured when a freight train
derailed and exploded in while entering a Bulgarian rail station,
officials said.
The
train was transporting gas through the northeastern village of
Hitrino, 60 miles from Bulgaria's main port of Varna on the Black Sea,
when it derailed at about 5:37am.
The
train was carrying more than 20 tankers of propylene gas and propane
butane when it came off the tracks while entering the village's station.
Firefighters said at least five
people were killed and many injured when a train derailed and containers
of liquefied petroleum gas exploded
The train was transporting gas through
the northeastern village of Hitrino, 60 miles from Bulgaria's main port
of Varna on the Black Sea, when it derailed at about 5:37am
The train was carrying more than 20
tankers of propylene gas and propane butane when it came off the tracks
while entering the village's station
Charred tankers lay scattered around
the tracks of the nearly ruined railway station as firefighters worked
to put out the burning debris
A hospital in the nearby town of
Shumen said an 18-year-old man had died from his injuries, while three
people with life-threatening burns have been transported to a hospital
in the city of Varna
Aerial footage showed a massive plume of black smoke rising over the small village, which is home to some 800 people
The interior ministry said there were around 200 firefighters and rescuers at the scene
More than 50 houses were damaged during the blast and 40 families evacuated in the early hours of the morning
In this photo released by the Bulgarian Interior Ministry shows a municipality building after the explosion
Hitrino's station, the police headquarters, several homes and cars along the railway tracks were completely destroyed
Residents said the firefighters had
been 'very slow' to arrive and many burst into tears while recounting
how their houses collapsed
Cargo train accidents are relatively frequent in Bulgaria where railway tracks are obsolete and regularly pillaged by thieves
