Ford Pinto?

Dear God. We had this just awhile ago!

Yikes!

Having seen the pictures on Breaking News, I’m relieved it wasn’t much worse. Prayers for the injured and the families of the dead.

Some idiot must have driven around the crossing gate.

Very sad story, and Westchester is my old stomping grounds. It’s where I grew up. I know the area in question.

Moslem suicide/homocide. First thing that comes to mind.

"The gates came down on top of the vehicle, which was stopped on the tracks," he said in a statement. "The driver got out to look at the rear of the car, then she got back in and drove forward and was stuck." Donovan said the force from the impact pushed the Cherokee about 10 train car lengths north of the crossing.

Great... expect the nanny state to ramp up more regulation demanding active fire protection on all passenger coaches. It's for the sake of the children.

If this link works, it shows the street view at the location where the side road crosses the tracks right next to the Taconic Parkway ...

Wonder if the car or engine end of the train hit the vehicle. Looks like massive smoke inhalation with the fire.

“the car and the front end of the Metro-North train exploded almost immediately after impact.”

Reactive armor? A car packed with propane cylinders?

Takes a bit to blow up the front of a train.

My gosh...a train hit a car and it caused a fire...? A car/train collision doesn’t result in a fire, unless it is a part of terrorism.

Senator Richard Blumenthal (Idiot - CT) is already sticking his head in front of press cameras to try and gain some kind of political advantage.

What a piece of human filth...
