OMG My usual train just crashed (I was on an earlier one)

[Patiod]

I always always always take the 5:14 Express, but today, the 5:05 Local was 5 minutes late, and I was 5 minutes early, so the 5:05 Local it was.

And the 5:14 crashed, and people were taken to the hospital. I just got a call from someone asking if I was okay, and checked it out on the web, and there were pictures of people on stretchers.

I'm going to go get a drink....

1. Yikes!

I'm glad you are ok.

:hug:

[Patiod]

6. Thanks!

Scary stuff!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. glad to know you are ok.

you deserve that drink. :hug:

[Patiod]

7. Oh yeah! Pinot grigot out on the deck!

very relieved

[EstimatedProphet]

3. Wow! I have nothing to say but...wow!

Count your blessings, I guess. A drink sounds reasonable.

[Patiod]

8. Although people weren't SERIOUSLY hurt, still

that sucks for them.

[EstimatedProphet]

12. Yes it does

Thank goodness you weren't one of them

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. What a lucky break for you.

You deserve more than one drink.

[Patiod]

11. Well, I also found out today that I'm NOT due in for jury duty

because I got called 18 months ago, I guess.

So, yes, maybe more than one pinot grigot!

5. Is this it?

[Patiod]

13. Yup! That was me! (or rather, that WASN'T me)

Just missed it.

Plus it was a big ole mess for the next hour or so. I didn't realize there were 30 injuries - initial reports said 12.

[Missy Vixen]

9. Pattie, I'm so glad you're okay!

Be careful, woman.

Julie

p.s. I'm only sorry we're not there to drink with you...

[Patiod]

15. Thanks sweetie!

Wow, now that I'm reading more recent reports, it seems more people were injured. They always say "don't ride in the first or last car". I always ride the first car in and the last one out. In this case I probably would have been perfectly fine - I almost always ride in the last car on the way home, and the injuries were probably in the first car...

Thanks for checking in, JRB!

[I Have A Dream]

10. I'm glad that you're safe. n/t

[Patiod]

16. Thanks IHAD. Not a major catastrophe, but still

you always feel so safe on the train - I used to drive an hour to work, and saw accidents all the time. Very rare to have anything very severe on the commuter trains...

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

14. Sounds just like a Bruce Willis flick

Glad you chose a good path for your afternoon. You'll be stopping in your tracks (sorry) and shaking your head over this one for a LOOOONNNG time.

18. movie by a Philly boy, starring a Philly boy

and mine was almost a Philly story......

Yikes.

[Deja Q]

17. Holy taconite! I'm glad you're ok!

:hug:

[Patiod]

19. Thanks HT

Went right from home to go for a walk, and didn't even know what happened until I got that phone call "Are you alright - we heard about that crash". Huh?

[Gormy Cuss]

20. Always scary when something like that happens.

Your usual train, but not only were you not on it you weren't trying to take a later train either.
Lucky twice today, Patiod.
Cheers.
