Photos: 5 dead, dozens injured as NYC-bound train derails in Philadelphia

Five people have been confirmed dead and 146 others injured after an Amtrak train carrying 248 passengers and five crew members going to New York from Washington DC derailed from its track in Philadelphia, USA yesterday night around 9.45pm.

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...


"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
 Aso speaking, the Philadelphia Fire Department Deputy Commissioner Jesse Wilson. 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.".

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

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!!
