A giant fireball and huge plumes of black smoke shot into the sky today when a train carrying crude oil derailed near Casselton, North Dakota. "The sky is to...tally black from smoke,” Casselton homeowner Eva Fercho told WDAY News, and said that when a second explosion hit she "could almost feel the house shake." The derailment reportedly occurred about one mile from the city's ethanol plant. Black smoke could be seen 15 miles from the scene of the accident.
