Video of massive train collision and fire in Indiana
Three freight trains collided in a rural part of the U.S. state of Indiana, starting a fire and injuring two of the six crew members involved. One of the trains, carrying mostly empty ethanol tanks, was stationary when it was hit in the back by another. A third then ran into derailed carriages on the parallel track. Local officials said there was no spill of any hazardous material from the wreck. Nevertheless, they ordered the evacuation of several dozen houses near the crash site as a precaution.

INTERVIEW Having given a string of interviews this week, one would think that PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim would run out of things to say.

Do you have change for a million-dollar bill?
LEXINGTON, N.C. (AP) – Do you have change for a million-dollar bill?
Police say a North Carolina man insisted his million-dollar note was real when he was buying $476 worth of items at a Walmart.
Investigators told the Winston-Salem Journal that 53-year-old Michael Fuller tried to buy a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven and other items. Store employees called police after his insistence that the bill was legit, and Fuller was arrested.
The largest bill in circulation is $100. The government stopped making bills of up to $10,000 in 1969.
Fuller was charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and uttering a forged instrument. He is in jail on a $17,500 bond, and it isn’t clear if he has an attorney. He is scheduled to be in court Tuesday.
