多达30节车厢脱轨撞成一团四处堆叠。
《CNN》报导,意外发生在周日(16日)下午约2时,一列隶属于联合太平洋铁路公司(Union
Pacific)的货运列车,行经美国爱荷华州3千居民小镇锡布列时,突然发生脱轨意外,这列共47节车厢的货运列车,车上装载了大量的危险化学物质,如盐酸、氢氧化钾、化学肥料硝酸铵与沥青,立刻爆炸起火燃烧,冒出大量黑烟。从曝光的空拍影片可见,约30节车厢脱轨翻覆四处堆叠,现场一片混乱。
当地消防局立刻调派大批消防人员到场,但在乾燥的天候与风势助长,以及原本就极容易爆炸的化学肥料助长下,火势蔓延极为迅速,当局决定立即疏散现场方圆8.5公里的居民,并切断附近地区所有供水全力支援灌救,同时找来危险物品处理小组到场协助。

大火直到周一清晨才扑灭,列车脱轨的原因仍待后续调查,但有当地媒体指出,可能与附近一座桥梁崩塌有关。意外并未传出人员伤亡,列车驾驶也幸运并未受伤。
