At 7:20 AM today there was a terrible derailment on the Metro North Hudson line in the Bronx. As of Sunday at 7:44 PM there were 4 reported deaths and 70 injuries. I keep complaining about delays and rude passengers when I commute, but I must count my blessings that I have never experienced an accident on mass transit. My prayers go out for the families of the deceased and hope for a speedy recovery for those injured.
Certainly, the National Transportation Safety Board will commence a complete investigation of this accident. Perhaps the train was going too fast at curve at Spuyten Duyvil.
