Hopes and prayers to all those involved...

My son was supposed to be on that train tonight.

He was "stranded" on the train right behind the one that was involved in the crash. Every day we can catch a glimpse of a small miracle
Prayers to those pholks and phamily on the trains tonight.

I am still teary eyed thinking about it...thank God you changed that flight.
Devastating...simply devastating. My heart goes out to my fellow Angelenos.

Thanks all..... actually bigger than you know. He's been recovering from TBI, (Tramatic Brain Injury) for the last 5 years. A bump on the head like that could have been really bad. Grace happens... sometimes we get too focused on the poop that happens

HOLY CRAP!
How awful!
So far, ten dead, including one police officer.
I'm so glad your son is okay, Dan.
Prayers to all affected.

It was heartbreaking to watch the police officers carrying out the body of their fellow officer. A local resident gave them an American flag to cover her body.

An update...25 confirmed dead...the Metrolink engineer was at fault, he ignored the red light.
