A tanker sprung a leak and derailed causing it to spill liquefied petroleum gas and starting a fire that killed at least 14 people, injuring 36 people with burns and collapsing dozens of homes and buildings in a residential area in thw town of Viareggio, Italy. As a result of the tanker derailing, it cause four other tank cars alsderailing leaving nine upright. It is suspected that one of the wagon locks might have malfunctioned and the conductor didn't appear to be at fault. The Monister of Transportation Altero Matteoli opened an investigation into the accident to see if whether rules for transportation of dangerous cargo was breached or whether there are insufficient regulations.
The article had alot of quotes from witnesses that set a dramatic scene of the amount of damage this causes. The lead was okay. Not very visual and it explains alot of the article in the lead. It doesn't really make up want to know more about what happened.
