Things continuing to go normally in New York City, we can see:
At least 24 people were hurt and hundreds were evacuated after two subway trains collided on the Upper West Side Thursday afternoon, causing both to derail, officials said.
A northbound 1 train with up to 500 passengers was pulling out of the 96th Street station shortly after 3 p.m. when it collided with another disabled 1 train and both derailed, police sources said.
Images from emergency responders in New York showed the chaotic damage:
Can you even imagine being trapped on an NYC subway like that for HOURS?
The trains were stranded long enough after the collision that some passengers stuck aboard started to get desperate, according to witnesses people GOT OFF THE TRAINS AND RAN DOWN THE TRACKS!
Eek!
The New York Times, meanwhile, reported that there were thankfully "no serious injuries," according to authorities.
I'm just glad Planet Moron avoided this fiasco on his recent trip to the Big Apple.
