The head of the company, its runaway oil tanker train explosion destroyed the Quebec town facing the "murderer" from the last Wednesday of the voice of the residents, he said, the train's hand brake may be set incorrectly, causing the disaster.
Police said they expected the death toll rose to 50, make sure residents are most worried about to give up hope, missing, was found alive. Police earlier said 60 people dead or missing.
More than 200 surveys look at the charred wreckage of the center of the town is located in the eastern Quebec Lac-Megantic, the department said in what is a crime scene. They did not arrest anyone.
After the disaster, on Saturday morning parked Montreal Maine Atlantic (MMA) to the tilting train railway line stretching, and toward the downhill, without a driver, to the lakeside town.
The train, five locomotives derailed on the curve 72 crude oil, just after 1 am, blew up, a series of huge explosion flattened the town center.
Methyl methacrylate (MMA), like many North American railroad, has been greatly enhanced orbit delivery of crude oil producers seek alternative pipeline has been extended to higher-capacity output of the U.S. and Canada.
The focus of the probe into the disaster is one of the only train operators, engineers, provision of adequate handbrake on the car when he parked the car about eight miles west of the town, on Friday night to end his shift.
MMA Chairman's comments, Ed Burkhardt, he knows best, but he thought something had gone wrong.
"Handbrake applied correctly on this train, it is very debatable. Fact, I would say they did not, otherwise we would not have had such an incident," he told in Lac-Megantic outdoor news conference.
When he spoke, watching the angry urban residents, and called repeatedly, sometimes drowned out his words. Some people can be heard shouting "murderer!"
"There are no words to describe this is what people do here, the" Alyssia Bolduc, 23 years old, told Reuters reporter Suan Zhang.
Burckhardt, he said he did not think sabotage, told reporters that he understands why people get angry.
"I think this is absolutely terrible, and I was heartbroken what is happening in this society," he said. "We are an abject apology people in this town."
50 deaths will once Canada's most deadly accident, because in 1998, the Swiss airliner into the Atlantic off the coast of Nova Scotia, resulting in 229 deaths.
112 people were killed and 11 passenger trains crashed car, in 1989 in Mexico, a bridge, which would be the worst rail crash in North America.
Safety procedures
Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB), which is leading investigations, wondering if MMA follow proper safety procedures when the train is pulled up all night.
Stop, a small hot fat one train locomotives. MMA executives said they believed the train air brakes, the firefighters to fight the blaze shut down the locomotive engine. The engine power of the air brake system.
Burckhardt said: "They (firefighters) did what they think is correct, this is an important virulence factor in this whole thing, do not hold them accountable?."
But the air brake failure should not cause disaster, because Canadian regulations that must be provided with sufficient parking brake, to ensure a parked train can not move.
"It does not seem enough to set the handbrake on this train, which is the responsibility of engineers to set them, Burckhardt said."
He said that engineers had been suspended without pay, he did not think he back to work.
Reuters has not been possible to achieve engineer. Union official Jos Linga Ding said he could not immediately provide the lawyer's name engineers, and even confirmed that he has one.
Methyl methacrylate (MMA), headquartered in Chicago, has a history of accidents in Canada, according to the TSB data. This shows that since 2003, 129 accidents, including 77 derailment - some of them minor -.
TSB officials said she could not immediately say how the accident rate of MMA in the country compared with other rail operators.
MMA is one of only two railway companies in Canada are allowed to operate the train manned by a single engineer.
The destruction in Lac-Megantic, about 2,000 people, about a third of the town's population forced to leave their homes and at school or with friends and family to seek asylum. Around 1,200 people were allowed to return to their homes, some of which are still without electricity or water.
