I've been watching continuous coverage on KTLA, ch 5, in LA, on my satellite dish for the last hour. (Dish Network channel 232). They are now saying it is confirmed 7 people are dead, and 40 injured. It appears the toll will be much higher.The commuter train was Metrolink #111, which collided head on with a Union Pacific Freight. The freight loco is clearly visible on its side. The passenger loco appears to have telescoped about halfway down the length of the first passenger car. Reporters at the scene are saying that rescue people are estimating 350 people were on the passenger train. |
