I lived in Hoboken years ago, and worked in the WTC. I had about a 15 minute commute to Manhattan. Always amazed there were not more accidents

Prayers up.

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.”

Didn’t a homeless guy find a sabotage device on a NJ track a few weeks ago when IEDs were going off?

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.
