Train struck train station in Hoboken, NJ....mass casualties, reports of fatalities.
Prayers for all involved and their families.
Doing it right now.
Significant damage to Hoboken station structure. Partial roof collapse.
Is that the PATH train?
Prayers up.
Yes, PATH train - Spring Valley line according to the twitter feed.
Pictures show tremendous damage.

Police are evacuating everyone. News reporter is being told to clear the area right now.
Witnesses report many injuries - EMS/Police on scene
Time of crash according to witness 8:40/8:45a.m.
Spring Valley Line is NJT, not PATH.
At the Hoboken station, all the commuter trains come into a common area that is roofed over, but is not really much of a station. To get to the PATH, you have to walk a considerable distance and go down several flights of stairs.
“It simply did not stop,” WFAN anchor John MinKo, who witnessed the crash, told 1010 WINS. “It went right through the barriers and into the reception area.”

Name of train operator?
Didn’t a homeless guy find a sabotage device on a NJ track a few weeks ago when IEDs were going off?
Anymore, when something happens like this, that's the first thing I think.......Muslim?
prayers
BTW - $4 billion for the WTC station.
There were two men, now identified as Egyptians who are now back in Egypt, who found the suitcase and moved it.

Sounds more like the operator was incapacitated.
