Amtrak Train Derails in Philadelphia, Several Reported Injured

Quote:

Several people were injured Tuesday night when an Amtrak train crashed in Philadelphia. At least 50 were hurt, according to NBC Philadelphia. The Amtrak Regional 188, was headed from Washington, D.C., to New York City on Tuesday night when it crashed at about 9:20 p.m., according to officials and witnesses. Fire and rail officials said eight to 10 cars derailed and there were about 240 people on board.. The front of the train was going into a turn when it shook, witnesses said.

Hopefully no fatalities, though the large number of wounded counted early on does not really bode well.
