I don’t know about the headline, but the meat of the story discloses it is discussing two separate trains, and does not connect the projectile receiving train (a commuter train to Trenton, NJ) with the train that derailed in Philadelphia.

The Commuter Train that was an Amtrak Train was derailed off the Train Tacks by a Projectile, Threat Matrix Ping Lucy!

OK. The headline is horribly written. If the point is a separate train, do not imply they are the same, but if the same, do not imply difference.

Ambiguous words mean (different) things! (to paraphrase Rush)

The article says the projectile was a separate incident from the derailment with no indication the two are related.

yes it is two seperate "incidents"

not much left of the other trains engine from what I iunderstand. ''as per the train that "survivied" ...

SEPTA spokeswoman Jerri Williams says they don’t know what the projectile was It broke the engineer’s window around 9:25 p.m.

how often does that happen??

just a coincidence...?

It WAS 2 different trains. This was a commuter train about 3 miles away from the amtrak train, according to the article.

Oh please don’t wait. Knee-jerk now.

It is just an interesting collection of facts at this point. You must admit it is strange that two trains in the same area and 20 minutes apart had some sort of unusual happening, especially since the 2nd one was so tragic.

Amish have been acting up in the subways and seeing how trains go through so much of amish turf it makes sense.....

Quite a coincidence, though. What does a terrorist do if the first projectile doesn’t cause enough mayhem? Try again. There’ll always be another train.

BREAKING NEWS: President Obama said, in a statement, that if this is an act of Terrorism we must determine what societal entity has failed these young people, causing them to act out in this manner, and what we can do to give them a better quality of life so this never happens again.

its a case of two seperate trains..the one that we know was hit by the “unidentifed” projectile...and the other the one that crashed..

given that they dont know what sort...of projectile hit the one train...I doubt that we will ever know what relationship to the other train wreck there may be.

You are correct again. It was confusing. I suppose it was hard to make it clear in just a brief headline.

It’s a misleading headline. The story is about two trains and TWO different incidents.

It it me, or does the headline seem to imply two separate trains?

You're right. It's a poorly written headline. The article is a bit clearer. The train hit by the projectile was NOT the train that derailed.

Nevertheless, it's an odd coincidence that two trains would have trouble like this on the same day. And it's worth noting that both trains were operating in the same area. So...
