CNN has nothing on this... whats up with thatBrefie said:
I am sure they are fine,but, 3 of my brothers ride the commuter trains every day. I can only imagine if this was a workday morning. While I don't think this was a commuter as it was inbound from Joliet, they all use the same tracks and this is just blowing me away.Brefie said:Are they ok, JBean??
was a commuter..this is awful..but Monday thru Friday could have been much much worse.Brefie said:Watching CLTV......
125 passengers - 47th and wentworth - 20 ambulances on scene
No they use the commuter trains, not the "L" .Brefie said:This is a metra...hopefully your brothers use the 'L'
15 - 20 mph - happened at 8.36am - 5 or 6 cars - 30 people saying they need to go to hosp - was very scary - people hysterical
Please excuse the typing - trying to get facts.....
THanks Brefie..I am sure they are fine there is no reason to think they were on or near that train. It's just that there are a LOT of people that use those trains to commute every morning, my brothers included, and I am anxious to find out the reason for the derailment.There are so many commuters in the Chicagoland area , so you can imagine the impact this will have. Just glad it wasn't Monday at 8:30.Brefie said:JBean - please let us know when you confirm they are ok
