NEWMAN, Western Australia — Media outlets are airing videos that better show the extent of the damage done to a runaway iron ore train that crashed in the Western Australia desert on Monday.
The Guardian, Australian Broadcasting Corp., and others are showing hand-held cell phone videos of the BHP Billiton train that became a runaway on Monday. Reports say the train's engineer had stopped the train and left the cab when it began rolling away and continued for nearly 60 miles before BHP officials could purposefully derail it.
Australian safety and mining company officials are investigating the cause of the runaway.
