More than 100 injured in commuter train crash in Hoboken, NJ
A New Jersey Transit commuter train crashed Thursday morning at the station in Hoboken, New Jersey. More than a 100 people are injured, with many in critical condition; at least one person is confirmed dead.
"I got off my train on the way into work and as I was walking through the station, we could see that a train had come through the place where it's supposed to stop, all the way into the station — not into the waiting room but into the outdoor part," said Nancy Solomon of New York radio station WNYC. Photographs of the crash show significant damage to the station, including a partial collapse of the roof.
