Jakub Dominik's video: Canada train explosion Everyone knows someone missing

Only one confirmed dead; no official word on 'many' people missing after hours of explosions wipe out at least 30 buildings LAC-MEGANTIC, Que. — First came the unusually loud rumble of a rapidly approaching train, then came the thunderous crash that had terrified patrons at the nearby bar scrambling for their lives. Then came the wall of fire, recalled Bernard Theberge, one of the people who bolted Saturday from the Quebec watering hole. At least one person died after several explosions destroyed the heart of Lac-Megantic and sent spectacular fireballs dozens of metres into the sky. Many more people are believed to be missing, but authorities are refusing to give any numbers beyond the one confirmed fatality. "It was like a movie," said Theberge, who considered himself fortunate to escape with only second-degree burns on his right arm. "Explosions as if it were scripted — but this was live."
