| AU Fire News: Australian wife ignites husbands crotch Posted: 28 Dec 2008 01:58 PM CST Victim dies twenty days after Adelaide Crotch fire incident, 85% of his body was burned. Satish Narayan, 47, an engineer, lost his battle to survive at the Royal Adelaide Hospital yesterday, 20 days after sustaining burns to most of his body. The incident has now been declared a major crime by police and it is likely his wife, Rajini, will face a upgraded charge of manslaughter or murder. Mrs Narayan had been charged with causing serious harm to her husband, arson and endangering her children.Police have alleged Narayan's wife doused his genitals with ethanol(methylated spirit) and then set him on fire about 5:30 a.m. on Dec. 7. It is believed a major blaze was sparked at the couple's townhouse when Narayan jumped out of bed and knocked over the bottle of methylated spirit. Narayan suffered burns to 85 per cent of his body. It is believed the Narayans only shifted to Adelaide from Canberra a few months ago, after Mr Narayan landed a job working on the Air Warfare Destroyer project.Source: news.com.au - Link | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Nevada derailment: Trains from and to California delayed, Posted: 28 Dec 2008 02:46 PM CST A trestle on the UP main line colapsed this morning at Pallisade Nevada. This will cause train disruptions and rerouting for weeks. A freight train derailed Saturday in northern Nevada, triggering a bridge collapse and disruptions in rail service on one of the country's main east-west lines, Union Pacific officials said. The line across northern Nevada connects Oakland, Calif., and Salt Lake City as well as other points east. Amtrak uses the same line, but it was not immediately clear the impact the bridge collapse would have on its California Zephyr service, a spokeswoman said. Location: Derailment occurred in a remote area along the Humboldt River about 10 miles west of Carlin and 260 miles east of Reno, rail company spokeswoman Zoe Richmond said. The 102-year-old bridge spanning the river collapsed a couple of hours after the derailment, Richmond said, and railroad officials are unsure how long it'll take to restore it. "We have crews looking at how to clear the mess," Richmond said. "Any derailment is tough, but we knew this one would be a bit tougher because it involved both a bridge and a derailment." With the line shut down, Union Pacific's closest alternate east-west lines are located well to the north and south, with one going through Portland, Ore., and the other passing through Las Vegas. Union Pacific officials said they hope to come up with a plan by Monday on how to deal with the bridge. Current sizeup: The train was passing westbound through an 875-foot tunnel when the derailment occurred. Three cars derailed inside the tunnel and at least a couple of cars ended up in the river, No injuries reported. Thirteen cars containing grain were involved in the derailment. Cause: Derailment is under investigation by the rail company. | ||||||||||||||||||||
