This is just awful:no:

LOS ANGELES - A commuter train carrying 222 people collided head-on with a freight train during the Friday afternoon rush, killing at least 10 people, injuring dozens and trapping an unknown number of others in a passenger car crushed by its own engine.

i watched this all afternoon on television. really scary stuff. with the way the front car was mangled and how it looked, we'd be very lucky to have only 10 people killed. tragic, tragic accident and my heart goes out to all affected.

What a shame. My sympathies to the families of the victims.

This shouldn't discourage anyone from using transit instead of cars. The death rates comparing the two per passenger-mile show that transit is much safer.
