Parked cars burn at the site where two gas-filled rail tankers exploded after derailing overnight on June 30, 2009 in the seaside resort of Viareggio, northern Italy. At least 13 people were killed and dozens more injured. The explosion happened just before midnight when a wagon in a 14-carriage train transporting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) came off the rails in the coastal town, which is just northwest of Pisa.
