#10. Congo Train Derailment
Eight cars fell off the tracks and seven of them rolled over when the
brakes failed on a passenger train traveling between the cities of Ilebo and
Kananga on Aug. 1. Train crews had to unhitch the locomotive and go in
search of help, and the injured were carried to a hospital six miles away on
bicycles and on people's backs. By the time recovery crews pulled the last
bodies from the wreckage, the death toll stood at about 100.
