The French railway operator, SNCF, has mistakenly put a dramatic statement on its website saying more than 100 people had died in a train explosion.The false announcement, of an explosion in Macon in the Burgundy region, was part of a training exercise. It was only when journalists began flooding the railway operator's phone lines that the company realised there had been an enormous error. A real SNCF statement later firmly said that the accident had never happened.
