HOBOKEN, N.J., Sept 29 (Reuters) – As New Jersey Transit train No. 1614 pulled into Hoboken, Linda Albelli realized something was not right.

NBC: At least one person died and more than 70 were hurt when an NJ Transit train crashed into the station in Hoboken at the height of Thursday’s morning rush, leaving twisted piles of metal and cables and causing part of the highly trafficked terminal to collapse.
Sources familiar with the investigation told NBC 4 New York a woman in her 30s who was on a platform in the station died. There were conflicting reports about other possible fatalities as emergency crew worked to extricate victims from the mangled wreckage. Hospital officials initially reported two more deaths, though later clarified they had only received wounded patients.
no way any union boys had anything to do with this. they are all straight arrows
Home sick and been listening to this story all day. I used to commute through this very station daily some 35 years ago.
Annoyingly conflicting reports are saying one dead, then three dead, then one dead……can’t anyone count? Do we take the average and assume there are two dead?
Wishing a speedy recovery to the unjured, and condolences to the families of the deceased.
Trump will get the trains running again.
I wonder if the driver’s name starts with “M”.
JustAl- that’s what I was wondering, too.
Is it ‘workplace violence”? Most people would just flip a desk over and slap their boss, but not muslims. Nooo they take that shit to a new level.
Give it time. The answer will come out. This is getting to be same sh*t
different day.

May the Lord take them and keep them.
and may the Injured heal soon.In Jesus name
Amen.

I’m thinking either the train engineer was sleeping/stoned/suicidal/having a heart attack, or it’s an act of terror and JustAl has correctly guessed his name.
Rush said that Barky called Chris Christie to offer federal assistance. Either it’s just obnoxious trolling, or something needs to be covered up. Or both.
UPDATE: Just read the “alternative” ways people from Northern New Jersey can get home from Manhattan tonight if they usually go through Hoboken.
Ay, carumba! Having grown up in the area I am familiar with all the trains and buses. This is going to be one big fat mess until they can restore full service to/from Hoboken. The problem is that the extent of the terminal’s structural damage isn’t known right now, so they can’t say how long it will take to fix it.
I would say that however long your commute was before, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to double it now. And some of these guys had 2+ hours, door to door, each way.
“….driving a train…HIGH ON COCAINE….”
c’mon man, I can’t believe no one thought of this one before I did
