Two commuter trains derail in suburban L.A
 

not sure if it has been posted it or not

Two commuter trains derail in suburban L.A., after apparently sideswiping each other. Some passengers believed to be trapped. Details soon.

www.cnn.com

just saw some footage on msnbc it's a mess

Yeah its ugly...
I hope none are dead, but things dont look good.

how the hell do two trains sideswipe each other???
Someone fell asleep at the switch... :Oh crap

we can send a rocket into the sky
and hurl a satelite through a gazzlion miles of space
have it eject a lil ball that falls to the surface on Mars...
ball bouncess all over hell and back
then out climbs a lil 6x6 tractor robot that collects data for months on end
and sends that data back to earth on a daily basis...

and yet, we still cant keep simple stuff down here from runnin into each other... How we dont have some auto switching/shutdown systems with failsafes galore on these trains is just beyond me.....

BIG B

they had a couple that failed and never made it. i guess here on earth the chance for human error is greater than in space. usually they get one shot and test for years for that one shot. we half ass stuff here, probably someone watching a screen of where the trains are, decided he/she wanted to come into work late or go get coffee.

not good for the public transportation authority.

why ride those damn trains

The last report I heard was 3 dead :(

That sucks. :( But it's not like it never happens. :(

Looks bad... :Oh crap

Sounds like the season premier of 24.

Don't worry folks. Jack Bauer is on the case.

GFY is the new CNN

Doesnt look pretty indeed, lets hope there aren't many casualties!

currently reporting that there was a Jeep Cherokee on the tracks early this morning before day light. Metrolink train hit it and caused debris on tracks which caused second train to derail and hit a third train and first Metrolink train.

9 reported dead thus far, dozens taken to area hospitals

OK.. now they are reporting at least 10 dead in train wreck.
Also train wreck was caused by attempted suicide... guy parked car on tracks... then at the last second the suicide attempter ran from the car he had parked across the traintracks... leaving the Jeep there.
