Horrible crash between a freight train and the metrolink today.  100 seriously injured and 20 deaths so far.
This has been on our news since early afternoon.  It is so devasting.  The whole enjine of the freight train went into the first car of the metrolink.  Please keep all these families and their loved ones in your prayers.

 That is awful! I'll be thinking of them all!

 It was a;; over the news yesterday here as well.  How horrible!!

 OMG....prayers for all involved

WOW! Horrible accident! I was involved in one of those years ago and luckily I wasn't injured but getting out of the train and getting through the accident site was a nightmare....I hope the people who were injured weren't injured too seriously and prayers go out to the families of those who lost their lives. 

 How sad.

 What a horrific scene!  I'll pray for the victims and their families!

 Just terrible.  Praying for all the families.

 just saw it on my home page. So Sad.

 That is just awful!

 Gosh...that is horrible. I hate seeing this kind of stuff. I'll keep them all in my thoughts and prayers.

 Wow, my friend sent me the news links to this because he lives down there, my family still does and I use to. What an awful thing to happen.

 When I saw this first thing this morning I thought about you and your family. This is horrible.

 Whoa. that is so tragic.  And very sad.

 Wow that's terrible...prayers for the families of those involved.

 Saw that on the news a little bit ago.  That's so awful.

 How Horrible for all.

 It was on all afternoon, and now it's Saturday and not a word!  Hopefully everyone is out of the wreakage now, and being treated.  It was the freaky-ish thing to see the engine of the freight train half way up inside the metro link train.  Just HORRIBLE!

 I live in Chatsworth. Usually not  a very news worthy place. People think L.A. busy ,lots of people, traffic........so on. This part of L.A. is still a very small community . We had helicopters flying over the house nonstop last night. Every time one went over we said a prayer, knowing there was someone seriously hurt. Today there is news media all over the place and my daughter's high school is being used as a staging area for the families. It is pretty quiet , we are all in shock. The fire deptment is still up there looking for people. I have a friend who got off the train in Chatsworth, right before it happened. Our thoughts and prayers are with those families. Sad day around here. We heard on the news this morning that there are 17 dead and over a hundred injured.

The news last night reported that they are looking into the allegation that the engine driver was texting & missed a red signal!Death tools stands at 24 now. What a tragedy .
