Three railway workers not guilty in Lac Megantic disaster

Jurors have acquitted the three former Montreal, Maine and Atlantic (MMA) railway employees charged with criminal negligence causing death in the 2013 Lac-Mégantic rail disaster. Locomotive engineer Tom Harding, 56, rail traffic controller Richard Labrie, 59, and operations manager Jean Demaître, 53, were all charged after the  derailment of a runaway fuel train early on July 6, 2013. Several tankers, carrying highly volatile crude oil, exploded, turning downtown Lac-Mégantic into an inferno and killing 47 people. CBC
