SUMMARY:
A Metro-North Railroad train derailed in New York’s Bronx borough
early today, killing four and injuring 63, a spokesman for the New York City
fire department said.
The accident took place in the Riverdale section of
the Bronx, said New York City fire department spokesman Michael Parrella.
At least five of the seven passenger cars that were
being pushed by a diesel locomotive derailed, Aaron Donovan, a MTA spokesman,
said in a telephone interview. The crash happened in a curving section of track
near where the Hudson and Harlem rivers meet, Donovan said, saying none of the
derailed cars were submerged in water.
MY OPINION:
The problem is no one is demanding anything be done
about the broken infrastructure. Something happens, then it’s forgotten a week
later. The blackout in NYC several years ago should've prompted massive
improvements to the power grid, but nothing's been done. Same with bridges,
train tracks, roads & everything else. Even when people die, nothing's done.
