Moddy messaged on FB that he's safe and sound. He must have been near it.

Are we sure he doesn't post here?

Hoping it's an Irish train.

Yes, trains never just crash.

Good grief, can't anybody just wait a few hours or even a day or two for facts to emerge?

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Or even better, ignore reality altogether.

Who's fetching Trump's dry cleaning now that Christie's actually governing.

My wife rides this train occasionally for work, but fortunately not this week. There were several of her colleagues who regularly ride that route that she and her company had trouble reaching yesterday, but all turned out to be OK. She's a little shaken up about the whole thing, mostly because trains always seem to her like the safest way to travel. That view took a hit yesterday.

Train engineer's name is Tommy GALLAGHER.

I'm absolutely sure we can rule out terrorism.

It's changed a bit but in general the engineer jobs in NYC area were part of the Irish welfare system

There's never been an Irish welfare system, and even if there was, a stand up guy like Tommy Gallagher would never take advantage of it.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

Not a documented welfare system at least.

Maybe this guy smashed the train's controls with a mallet.
