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.
