Montana bridge failure causes hazardous materials spill into Yellowstone River.

A bridge over the Yellowstone River in Montana collapsed, causing a freight train carrying hazardous materials to plunge into the water. The train cars were carrying hot asphalt and molten sulfur, and officials shut down drinking water intakes downstream while they evaluated the danger. No injuries were reported, and the cause of the collapse is under investigation. The incident also took out a fiber-optic cable providing internet service to many customers in the state.
