Multiple people are feared to have been killed after an Amtrak train carrying 243 people derailed close to Kansas City in Missouri.

It's still unclear what caused the smash - but one imaged shared by a survivor showed what appeared to be a broken truck axle lying to one side of the tracks.

I am surprised there were so many people on the Amtrak train. But then maybe there were so many because gas is sky high.
