Metrolink-Union Pacific train crash OT | Arthritis Information
I posted this on current event chat but will post again.
As you may have heard, there was a horrific Metrolink-Union Pacific train crash in Chatsworth, L.A. area, yesterday. Prays for all victims, their families and firefighters and medical personnel working on this. This could happen anywhere.
Jan, I saw some pictures of this crash on late night news but haven't followed this story. It was horrible. What happened? Two trains collided? Do they know yet the cause?
Joie-
Yes, a Metrolink train (this is the local train service) and a Union Pacific freight train collided. THey now think it was human error, the engineer didn't stop at a red light to let the freight train go by.
Very sad. Multiple fatalities. Still don't have a final count. I have friends in the Chatsworth area and lived nearby at one time.
I heard the NTSB is going to pressure Metrolink to put in automated safety device which could prevent accidents here and elsewhere in the U.S. Sounds good.
