A Tohoku Shinkansen bullet train that was running in Miyagi Prefecture derailed after a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck off Japan's northeast coast late Wednesday night.




East Japan Railway says the emergency brake was applied as a quake was detected while the train was running, but 16 of the 17 cars derailed.

The company says none of the 75 passengers and three crew members aboard were injured. They were trapped inside the train for about four hours after the derailment caused a power outage.
