A
tiny North Dakota town was evacuated Wednesday after a train carrying
crude oil derailed and 10 cars burst into flames, local authorities
said. It is the latest in a string of explosive oil train derailments
that have raised concerns about the large volume of crude moving across
America's tracks.
No injuries have been
reported from the derailment of a BNSF train near Heimdal, North Dakota.
The town, which in 2010 had a population of 27, has been evacuated, as
have farms near the crash site.
"I was in the house at 7:15 a.m. when we thought we heard thunder," witness Jennifer Willis told NBC News.MORE
