Canada’s transportation safety authority said the crude carried on a train that crashed in Quebec, killing 47 people, should have been labeled as being more dangerous.
An unattended Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd. train with 72 tankers of crude crashed in the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic in July, causing the worst Canadian rail disaster in more than a century. The Transportation Safety Board said in a statement from Ottawa today the oil was labeled as a “lower hazard, less volatile flammable liquid.”
