"BEIJING, China (AP) -- A sandstorm with hurricane-strength wind gusts has derailed a train in China's far west, killing at least four people and injuring another 30, state media says.
The 11-car train had just left a station in Turpan, in the Xinjiang region's east, when it was hit by wind at 2 a.m. Wednesday, the Xinhua News Agency said.
"A strong sandstorm cracked window panes soon after the train left Turpan, and blew some of the cars off the rail when we were trying to plug up the windows," Xinhua quoted passenger Su Chuanyi as saying."
