"4 dead, 2 missing in aluminum ore train derailment..."

The delivery of aluminium ore to a refinery occurs daily with zero incidents. On occasion an incident will occur and remind all of us of the potential hazard of the transportation of aluminium ore. Here's the story:

Four people were found dead and two remain missing after a freight train carrying aluminum ore derailed in Asia one night during week of April 6, 2019, local authorities said.

The train, owned by the logistics subsidiary of an aluminium company damaged a village house after it derailed and overturned around 10pm Wednesday, according to the publicity department of the nearby city.

At 12:30am Thursday, the first missing person was found. So far, four have been confirmed dead.

At the site, the locomotive and the first 13 carriages tangled after colliding together, piling up with aluminum ore.

The train, with 25 carriages, weighs 2,350 tonnes and each carriage has a capacity of 60 tonnes. It was running along a 22-km railway built in the 1950s for transporting aluminum ore.

All trains on the railway have been suspended.

The local government has sent 200 rescuers, two cranes and six ambulances to the site. Rescue work is underway.

We pray for the deceased workers and the residents who died when the train cars came tumbling down into their homes. There are reports that the engine did not have a conductor, it was automated engine. We hope that whatever the root cause of this tragedy is found and actions are taken to eliminate this from the future.
