KaBoom!

It’s been an interesting morning thusfar especially in my part of LA. A Metrolink train collided with a Jeep Cherokee, derailed, hit another Metrolink Train going the opposite direction and knocked a Union Pacific car off the track at around 6 this morning in the Glendale/LA border. The guy with the Cherokee apparently wanted to commit suicide but decided against it. He got out of the car before the train hit it. All morning the sound of sirens filled the air already heavy with moisture and seeping with the smell of burning diesel. Looking at the images are astonishing. Mainly for the fact that more people weren’t killed. And hearing about the fast response to this accident was a little reassuring, the knowledge that a system works properly. The only thing I’m hoping for at this point is that the smell is gone. I have so much to blog but haven’t been able to put my thoughts down. Whatever.
