Philadelphia Mayor, Michael Nutter while speaking on the incident, said the engine of the train separated from its body while it was on course. See the photos after the cut...
Aso speaking, the Philadelphia Fire Department Deputy Commissioner Jesse Wilson. said"This was an absolute disastrous mess. I have never seen anything like it in my life. Many of these folks are not from Philadelphia. It is a devastating scene down there. We walked the entire length of the train area, and the engine completely separated from the rest of the train, and one of the cars is perpendicular to the rest of the cars. It's unbelievable. We do not know what happened here. We're not going to try to speculate about that." he said
"They're in pretty bad shape. You can see that they're completely, completely derailed from the track. They've been destroyed completely. The aluminum shell has been destroyed and they've been overturned completely.".

may the dead RIP. Been a while an incident like this happen
This is so sad, Because I usually take this NYC bound train from DC and God forbid it could have being me. These trains are really old and their stations are old and dirty compared to the UK, it's not only the naija government that has problems. May the souls of the departed rest in peace and may their families be able to bear their loss

RIP.
Housachickintoronto, your views are very myopic. So, because the DC trains are 'old and dirty' when compared to the ones in UK, naija's problems are now comparable to the problems in the US. You guys keep giving excuses for our leaders and they keep messing us up. How could they perform well when they know that there are people like you that are ready to profer excuses for them? Please, next time, refrain from ever criticizing our leaders, after all, going by your excuse, there are problems all over the world. Pathetic!!
RIP to the dead. I pray for speedy recovery for the injured.
God help, and save us frm tragic accident, and untimely death. RIP to those dat loss their lives, and speedy recovery to those that r injured.
I pray we don't experience tragic accident, and death in our lives.
...and to think I was on one of these Amtrak trains to NY not too long ago...hmmmm...tis well
