Bad train accident in Boston.

High-speed trolleys running on a suburban route...one smashes into the other. Allegedly, one train operator still is trapped.

That's awful--prayers go out especially for the trapped operator. The T always seems so safe, that it's easy to forget that this can happen.

Jesus, I take that train whenever I go to Fenway. That's right near the Riverside station.

A miracle no one was killed; those two trains looked quite messed up.

I don't think the operator's out of the woods, yet.

The operator, who is a woman, suffered injuries that "appear to be very serious,” said Joe Pesaturo, spokesman for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

Nope, ends on the edge of Newton.

Globe says the train operator died.

I thought this would be a thread about the Pistons offense.

Wow. Surprisingly, I always find the subways to be so safe regardless of where I go - and I honestly didn't think that this could happen, given that they were always so far apart.

Thoughts to the family.

Damn.

There was a bad crash on the L yesterday in Chicago, too. No fatalities, though.
