" This is a huge spill, " said Tina Rose, spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. " That is a lot of hazardous materials. " Authorities confirmed that one person was killed but did not provide any details. Eight others had minor injuries, while another was missing. " We don't know if that person is trapped, " Rose said. " All we know is that person is unaccounted for. " The Union Pacific maintenance crew was working on the tracks about 60 miles east of the state capital when it derailed about 11 a.m. It was carrying 11,000 gallons of diesel fuel and 6,000 gallons of hydraulic fuel, acetylene, oxygen and propane. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/11/09/train.derails.ap/index.html US dasha: Ve/Sa/Ra/Ju/Ju CALIFORNIA dasha: Sa/Mo/Mo/Ju/Ma satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino mobile: Skype ID: +351963916784 jorge_angelino Add me to your address book...
