The wreckage of the exploded train still on fire after more than
12 hours in Dehnow village near Nishabour some 700 kms ( 435
miles) east of Tehran, Wednesday Feb. 18, 2004. Runaway train
cars carrying fuel, fertilizer and industrial chemicals derailed
and exploded in northeastern Iran on Wednesday, killing more
than 200 people, injuring hundreds more and devastating five
nearby villages, the government news agency said. Most of the
known dead were fire and rescue workers, who died in the blast
hours after the train cars derailed and caught fire. (AP Photo/Hasan
