Canadian police have said 30 people still missing since Saturday's train disaster in a Quebec town are 'most probably dead'. Twenty bodies have already been found after a runaway train carrying oil derailed and exploded in Lac-Megantic. The train operator's boss blamed a Canadian driver for the accident, saying he had probably failed to set a series of hand brakes. At least 30 buildings were razed by the fireball from the explosion. This forced some 2,000 town residents to flee their homes.
