Roof at this point for us. the windows were stuck in the dirt. oh goodness. we re looking at video now of emergency crews trying to search through this mangled mess of metal trying to determine what that is. the train car? there have been reports it may have crashed into a csx cargo train. but there has been a representative from csx said at this point they have no indication of the train hitting a cargo train. i can only imagine how frightening that might be. were there children on board? i didn t see any. may maybe in another car. there were people traveling for work. i need to get going now. they re taking me back to get checked out. no problem we appreciate you giving us your time. we hope everything goes well for you. thank you. thank you. thank you. you were just hearing p a ....
In particular. you and i have been on a number of times, they are designed to go off the rails when they hit sothey re not designed to coil up like an accordion, the best scenario is for these things to scatter to go off the tracks and that way people stand a much better chance of survival. it s normally the front cars the ones that are closest to any impact closest to the actual derailment are the hardest impacted. in this case it s impossible for us to tell the latest information we have are between 8 and 9 cars actually derailed and up to 50 passengers have been injured. we have not yet heard of any fatalities keep in mind this is very early in the game. they are just now shining spotlights as you can see, going through each train. train by train trying to figure out who is injured and who is left on board these trains. we have seen a number of twitter posts from passengers on the trains they have given some ....

And also they ll survive water. i don t know the nature of the recorders we don t know whether that is a record on that train. i can t say that is true yet the fact is that they ll be having as much evidence as they can get. looking at the front cars is looking as though they may impacted something. i don t know if there is a bridge over the track. that is another possibility. there could have been something on the track. so last and most thing i didn t mention there could have been foul play. in other words someone set the track off. we don t know that. i was on a train crash in vermont when i was on the board. ....
