        RANGOON, Burma (AP) -- A passenger train derailed and plummeted
into a ravine in central Burma, killing 102 people in what
broadcast reports said was the country's deadliest train accident
ever.
        The train, traveling between Mandalay and Myitkyina, the Kachin
state capital, derailed Friday near the town of Wuntho when the
brake failed as it descended a hill.
