Three employees of the insolvent railway company involved in last summer's
runaway oil train disaster that killed 47 people are due to appear in
court Tuesday to face criminal negligence charges in the small Quebec town
that was partially incinerated by exploding tanker cars.
.
The charges come about 10 months after more than 60 of the tankers
carrying oil from North Dakota came loose in the middle of the night, sped
downhill for nearly 11 kilometres and derailed in the town of Lac-Mantic
in eastern Quebec. At least five of the tankers exploded, levelling about
30 buildings, including a popular bar that was filled with revellers last
July 6.
.
The Quebec provincial prosecutor's office said 47 counts of criminal
negligence have been filed against engineer Thomas Harding, manager of
train operations Jean Demaitre, and Richard Labrie, the railway's traffic
controller, as well as against the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway
Ltd., the defunct railway at the heart of the disaster. The charges
represent one count for each person killed and are the first criminal
charges brought in the disaster. Criminal negligence that causes death can
result in a jail sentence of up to life imprisonment in Canada.
.
Rene Verret, a spokesman for the prosecutor, said the three railway
employees were arrested late Monday afternoon. They are scheduled to
appear in court on Tuesday in Lac-Mantic. A message left at MM&A offices
was not immediately returned.
.
Quebec's director of criminal and penal prosecutions had begun a review of
the file in late March. Prosecutors said in a statement that they elected
to file the charges after an analysis of the evidence gathered at the
scene. The railroad blamed the engineer for failing to set enough brakes,
allowing the train to begin rolling toward the lakeside town of 6,000.
.
Harding had left the train unattended overnight to sleep at a local inn
shortly before it barrelled into Lac-Mantic, devastating the downtown bar
area and forcing a third of the town's residents to flee.
