At least three people died and up to 100 were hurt, some of them critically, when an NJ Transit train crashed into the station in Hoboken at the height of Thursday's morning rush, leaving twisted piles of metal and bricks and causing part of the highly trafficked terminal to collapse, officials said.
Preliminary reports suggest the crash involving train No. 1614 on the Pascack Valley Line was accidental or caused by operator error, according to five law enforcement officials, though they stress it is early in the investigation.
Some of the news reports are saying it was a PATH train, but from the photos I can see it was actually a NJ Transit train (both terminate in Hoboken). I've been to the Hoboken terminal many times and I can't imagine the devastation an out of control train could cause there.
