33 Dead in Lac-Megantic, 17 Missing
Thirty-three bodies of victims from last Saturday's train crash and explosion in Lac-Megantic, Quebec have now been recovered.
Seventeen people are still missing, but presumed dead.
Authorities are planning on knocking down two buildings, in the down town area, on Sunday.
They consider the buildings at too great a risk of collapsing on workers who are searching through the rubble for the missing victims.
Several hundred people are still under evacuation, due to the oil spill that was also a result of the accident.
Officials say that the crash was caused because the air brakes on the train failed.
It had been parked nearly eight miles uphill from Lac-Megantic, over night.
Late Friday night, a fire occurred on the train, but it is unclear if that was what caused the brake failure.
The Canadian Transportation Safety Board is continuing the investigation.

Syrian Weapons Shipment Destroyed in Airstrike
Israel likely made another air strike into Syria, but won't deny or confirm their involvement.
The air strike struck a shipment of Yakhont anti-ship missiles, in northern Syria, that was being sent to Hezbollah.
If Israel did carry out the strike, as is most likely, then it would be the fourth time this year that they've struck against weapon shipments.
Yakhont missiles are extremely effective against ships, as they travel just above the water at twice the speed of sound.
Israel has repeatedly stated that they will not hesitate to keep advanced weaponry from reaching Hezbollah or Hamas.
