Train Collision Causes Massive Explosions in North Dakota

Two trains collided leading to massive explosions, in North Dakota, on Monday afternoon.

A westbound train carrying soybeans derailed near Casselton and was struck by an eastbound train.

The eastbound train had been carrying oil and five of it's cars exploded.

Another five cars and both of it's engines caught fire.

Authorities are worried that the fire will spread to the remaining fifty-six cars.

Residents in the area have been warned to stay indoors, to avoid the toxic smoke.

Once the fire is out, the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the initial derailment and the following crash and explosions.
