Comment by Mike Schlags (Captain Busy) Retd on September 13, 2008 at 2:03am: Living less than 100 miles away from this incident, the media coverage of this is on all the stations. Firefighters have come to a standstill, trying to figure out how to get to several trapped victims. The locomotive slammed into the parked Metrolink train, impacting the train car so hard that it pushed through 1/2 of the double decker passenger car. I also posted a discussion about this topic that focused on how we can take advantage of these disasters when putting together training programs. This incident is most certainly the worst train accident in the history of Los Angeles, CA.
