In reverse order:


This was earlier in post– woman tweeted about retrieving her violin from derailed train:

11:50 p.m.: Engine completely separated from train.
11:48 p.m.: No word on what exactly happened.
11:47 p.m.: Fire department says six critical injuries in addition to many more minor injuries.
11:44 p.m.: “Disastrous mess. Never seen anything like this in my life.”
11:41 p.m.: Mayor Nutter speaking:
33 fire trucks, 120 firefighters responded. Considered a Level 3 mass casualty. At least five dead. Jesus.


11:32 p.m.: Man, many of these injuries being shown on news look a lot worse than general scrapes and bruises. Lots of blood. Stating the obvious, but one bad injury after another.


Drive an Uber? You’re up:


11:18 p.m.: Local media is nearly hysterical right now. 6 ABC speculating about explosion, however cautiously, when, by all accounts, it seems like a derailment. People saying cars near back were fine– one of the reasons I always try to get on back half of train. Just seems like it’s safest spot if hit something or derailment.
I can’t imagine there weren’t major, major injuries or worse here:
