The train was carrying liquid gas. It exploded when two tanks hit an electrical line. The impact and fire destroyed twenty-five buildings.

Difficult words: freight train (a train which is transporting things, not people), derail (leave the tracks), liquid (a liquid thing is like water), impact (when two things hit one another).
