limit curve. the carriage i was in came off the track. it tumbled, it rumbled, it felt like it was going on forever. when it came to a stop, the window that i had had at the side was now in the ceiling. the carriage had turned on its side. i could see us very, very close to a building. we had smashed into a building next to the track. it was a very tough experience at the time. i broke my wrist. but i think looking back on it, we were lucky. there were no fatalities. no fatalities because the front carriages that came off, people had only a small distance to fall in their sleeping compartments. unlike being in a carriage full of seats where you could have tumbled the length of the carriage. that's what happens what saved us. >> thank you so much. i want to bring in joel. he was sitting in the fourth car of this train when it derailed on sunday and he is one of the lucky survivors who escaped with only minor injuries. we're glad you're okay. a report that the train operator told investigators that he was dazed and doesn't know what happened ahead of the crash.
