Nine Killed in Sydney Rail Crash

At least nine people have died and many more have been injured in a train derailment south of the Australian city of Sydney. All four carriages of the morning rush-hour train came off the track in a steep ravine near the village of Waterfall, 30 kilometres (20 miles) south of the city. Emergency workers were hindered in reaching the scene by the rugged terrain surrounding the wreckage, which lay with steep embankments on both sides. A full inquiry has been announced into the crash, which has become Australia's worst rail accident for a quarter of a century.
