People look at a derailed train in Tua railway, North Portugal, August 22, 2008. One person died and 25 were injured when a Portuguese train with 47 people on board, many of them tourists, derailed and plunged into a ravine on Friday, officials said. A spokesman for the civil defence service said 10 people were seriously injured in the accident in the Douro valley region, an area of steep, vine-covered slopes famous for its port wine.
