The runaway train carrying crude oil that crashed and exploded in a town in Quebec, Canada, was tampered with in some way, the chief of the rail company insisted Monday. Two days after the train derailed in Lac-Mégantic, sparking a massive fireball that leveled the downtown and left a scene Canada's prime minister described as "a war zone," the death toll rose to 13 when another eight bodies were found. Another 40 people are still missing. The train, which was hauling 72 tanker cars with 30,000 gallons of oil in each one, was parked before rolling seven miles downhill and derailing. Ed Burkhardt, chairman of Montreal, Maine & Atlantic, the railway that operated the train, said he was certain someone tampered with the locomotive, The Montreal Gazette reported Monday afternoon. Authorities said they had recovered the train's black box data recorder, which could also give clues as to what caused the derailment.
