"Hemlata Thomas, 67, of Chatsworth heard the roar of the crash and the screams of passengers around her. "I thought it was an earthquake because of the sound of gravel underneath the train," Thomas said.

Thomas had only started taking the train to her job at Bank of America downtown six days ago, after friends convinced her that it would be less stressful than driving. She said she is unsure whether she will take the train again."



I think I would go back to driving after that.

Aren't there bridges out there this goofball could have jumped off of?


Honestly, If I were going to commit suicide, I would rent an exotic car, find a winding road with lots of cliffs and drive really fast. Oh yeah, I would check the box on the rental form for additional insurance coverage.
