Associated Press
GLENDALE, Calif. - A Metrolink commuter train derailed early Wednesday in this Los Angeles suburb, and firefighters were searching through the wreckage.
Television reports showed smoke coming from twisted wreckage at the scene of the crash, where two separate trains could be seen derailed.
The derailment in this Los Angeles suburb was near San Fernando Road and Chevy Chase Boulevard.

well, I don't know, did he have any intent to kill the people on the train? hard to prove that. he certainly had wreckless disregard for their lives by putting his car on the tracks.
LOL! What the hell is he saying? My client the loser won't have a statement until later?
Yeah, you're right. We'll all just angry at the dude, whoever he is, on behalf of these poor victims.
Can still smell diesel at scene. Hazmat was there, doctor says excellent, he's a Reserve Sheriff himself, EMS did excellent, he plugged a Dr. Eckstein, calls it perfect disaster response. Take comfort that folks trained in EMS, they are so ready, did tremendous job.
Coffee and croissant and gurneys from Costco. Doctor God Blesses them. Says another doctor, Dr. Eckstein helped. The boss Dr. Mark Eckstein.
Right, I know exactly what you're saying. Senselessness vs. evil-with-a-purpose.
I don't know. Never looked : wrong coast. Was there someone you know onbord one of the trains? There's a local news feed covering it...also this one here: WSVN Miami (Fox, broadband) is carrying updates.
Wow. Product placement gone berzerk.
Okay, okay. Props to Costco. I remember when Starbucks tried to charge rescuers for bottled water on September 11
I remember that!
The name of the driver has not been released yet.
domestic terrorism.....that dude will spend the rest of his long days with Scott Peterson.
Good points, good questions. Like I tried ot say (but misspelled) in a twisted, blackened sort of way, at least terrorism would make some sense. This alleged suicide choosing life at the last second at the cost of so many lives is beyond my comprehension. You KNOW the death toll is going to go up, what with all those critical injuries.
I didn't know you could get gurneys from Costco..

I hope the law allows charges for multiple murder. He was trying to kill someone!
Suicide by terror?
Just remembered the same thing happened couple of month ago in Great Britain, 6 people died...

Maybe this become some epidemic?
It's kind of amazing he didn't run, if you think about it.
My brother's train arrived in Burbank a little after this...I will be surprised if the guy isnt charged with Domestic Terrorism.

Yes, it seems as if a suicide attack by bomb, and suicide attack by car are the same.
Baca sure is running his mouth.
Will be another news briefing in 20-30 minutes or so. Sticking with the KNBC feed as long as the audio keeps up.
Our local internet service has been spotty the past 72 hours -- local wireless company is skimping on maintenance and breaks down often. Lucky that we have an employee here who knows their lead tech supervisor and we alert him when the tower equipment goes out. Of course it's not their fault when high winds turn our antenna 90 degrees from the tower.
