Wounded Iranians sit at the site of a massive train explosion in Neyshabur, Iran Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2004. Runaway train cars carrying fuel, fertilizer and industrial chemicals derailed and exploded in northeastern Iran 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. Officials in the city of Neyshabur, including the local governor, mayor and fire chief were among those killed. (AP Photo/IRNA)
