It's a beautiful old train / bus / ferry station.  Best wishes to all who were caught up in the accident.

I watched for a few minutes, said a prayer for all victims, and then turned it off.  Jusr too terrible to watch.  I am glad there are many hospitals in the area prepared to treat all these poor victims.


They just returned to regular programming on network stations! Then, broke in with conference!

I thought I just heard a reporter say there was a witness on a platform who saw the train go by, not slowing and the engineer was slumped over.


Yes, I heard several people say that! Also, just confirmed, only one fatality!

The train engineer has been treated and released from the hospital.

 

The woman killed on the train platform was a 34 Lawyer from Hoboken NJ and the mother of a small child. 

 

Local restaurants have donated food to the first responders and local fraternities and sororities are delivering it to one central location.
