My son was supposed to be on that train tonight. :o 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 :wink:

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 :oops: :D

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. :cry:
