On July 6, 2013, a train of 72 cars carrying 100 tons of crude oil each exploded in Lac-Mégantic. Images from the Pléiades and KompSat 3A satellites were acquired in order to follow the field work during the recovery phase. These optical images at 50 cm resolution were acquired for the following dates: July 13, July 29, 2014, July 2, August 2, August, August 15, August, August 24, 2013, September 30, 2013, November 4, 2013, November 3, 2013, July 2, 2014, July 2, 2014, July 2, 2014, 2014, 2014, 2014, 2014, 2014, October 12, 2014, 2014, 2014, October 12, 2014, 2014, 2014, October 12, 2014, 2014, October 12, 2014, 2014, October 12, 2014, 2014, October 12, 2014, 2014, October 12, 2014, 2014, October 12, 2014, 2014, October 12, 2014, 2014,

Purpose: These optical images from the Pléiades-1A or Pléiades-1B or KompSat 3A satellites make it possible to see the evolution of recovery work in downtown Lac-Mégantic, near the site of the accident that occurred on July 6, 2013.

These images were also used to develop a Rapid Information Products and Services Project (PSIR/RIPS) by the Canadian Space Agency in collaboration with the Department of Public Safety, Public Safety Canada and MDAThis third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
