Anglican ping at 200.

Dave Bottoms, 39, had just left his job as an Army Chaplain at Walter Reed. The Anglican priest was in the back of the front car that slammed into the stopped train. When he saw the train buckling, it looked just like it would in the movies, he said.
“It felt like it was going in slow motion,” he said. “I started praying.”
In the chaotic moments after the crash, he walked to a young woman who had been pinned in between seats. She was hysterical, he said, but he began calming her—and the other passengers in the car.
The group began saying the Lord’s Prayer in unison.

God bless him. And I’m actually heartened to hear people would still turn to the prayers at least at this point.
I met David Bottoms once at All Saints Anglican Church in Charlottesville.
