When I look at this I realize how important first responders are and how much I value their work.

Although 2 were killed, the driver personally warning passengers of an imminent collision is true heroism.

To everyone asking why the commuter train didn’t back up, it’s not that simple. When the engineer stopped the train, he went into emergency braking. This dumps all of the air out of the brake pipe, essentially locking the brakes. It would take up to 15 minutes to build enough air pressure to release the brakes and move the train

Thank you too all the bystanders who went into help. This gives me hope for humanity. Good people, real heroes, do exist.

I remember this very well. I worked in Public Affairs at Kaiser Permanente OC. We had a medical office a few hundred of feet from the impact, Employees and physicians jumped into action to assist in the devastation. I was honored to work with Justin W. from New Dominion Productions on the re-enactment.

I was working very close to where this occurred and still remember all of the sirens as emergency vehicles came to the rescue of the passengers. It was actually a miracle that a hospital that day was preparing to start a "mass casualty" drill when this happened and that immediately all of the resources there were sent to the crash site to assist. Love those first responders and the many citizens who came to the aid of those on the train.

God bless the bystanders that jumped into action and help

"If the train had been traveling just 5 miles faster, all of the passengers would have been killed on impact." Omg that took a second to digest. R.I.P. to the lives lost.

You know as horrific as these incidents are, they give me a lot of hope for humanity because it really shows the very best of people. The bystanders, witnesses, victims and first responders were all incredible people who did their damnedest to help anyone who needed it.

This why my friend would tell me to "have a boring day" before I went to work in the emergency room; because this is what "an exciting day" looks like.

when they tell you to get down, GET DOWN!!

The fact that only 3 out of probably 300 people died amazes me.

I'm surprised how much of that passenger train was intact and still on the tracks. I thought it would have folded and derailed everywhere.

As a biomedical engineer i feel very proud how the equipments are saving patients life..

This episode left out a key portion of the story, the cause of the crash. The engineers of the freight train were using their cell phones, and in deep conversation about their previous shared employment at a oil refinery, causing them to miss signals. Essentially, they let a freight train run on auto-pilot, except the train didn’t have auto-pilot, only cruise control.

I spent 23 years riding New Jersey Transit trains to NYC and we shared freight and AMTRAX tracks. Always was a fear of mine that someday something like this would happen. But one thing is true...you do get to know most of the people that commute with you and now that I am retired and live in PA, I think about my train buddies often.

I was on train in UK. The sun was behind driver. Even though he received clear AWS indicating green signals as he couldn't see the aspect he stopped at 3 consecutive signals and phoned signal box (dispatcher for American's) to clarify signal. He didn't assume signal was proceed aspect.
