Photos: Devastation left by blasts in Canadian oil tanker derailment
The death toll rose to 15 in fiery wreck of a runaway oil train in Canada with the discovery of two more bodies Tuesday. About three dozen more people were missing. The bodies that have been recovered were burned so badly they have yet to be identified, the AP reported. The derailment and explosions destroyed about 30 buildings, including the Musi-Cafe, a popular bar that was filled at the time, and forced about a third of the town's 6,000 residents from their homes. View the devastation left behind.
