HI everyone just heard about this. This morning that a CTA train derailed sometime yesterday and it cought fire and 160 people got taken to the hospital.But the officals are already ruling out an act of terrisom.
WGN News reports have reported that track maintenance is the problem.
A similar incident happened in the same spot about one year ago.
Ouch What a mess, hope everyone is ok. It was reported that they had no emergency lighting at all.
I don’t know what caused the incident - but what bothered me was this “lady” they interviewed on the “News”.
She was really, really, really upset. She had been on a following train. She said something to the effect: “It is now 7:00 PM, I was taken off the train at 5:35, and no one is telling me how they’re going to get me home.”
That’s 85 minutes! But then, she’s a princess.
Hey lady, there was a passenger train wreck and fire 100 feet underground. The first concern was getting the people out. Which they did.
They’ll get you home, you’ll be late, buy you’ll get home. Princess, you gotta’ give 'em more than 85 minutes when there’s a TRAIN WRECK.[V]
