Two people were killed and fourteen injured when a train derailed in Belgium.
Early Saturday morning, six the thirteen cars on the train came off the tracks and caught fire.
The fire resulted in multiple explosions, as the train had been carrying toxic, flammable chemicals.
Due to the toxicity of the fumes, three hundred residents were evacuated from nearby.
Residents outside of the evacuation zone were told to stay indoors and keep windows closed, as a precaution.
Plans are to let the fire burn itself out, as that was deemed the safest option, by officials.
