Wow this is sad we should never know about these accidents
we have to realize that hashem is always protecting us even when riding the MTA. Think about all those trains in those underground tunnels.

Train A was stalled at a station; train B was stopped behind it waiting for permission to use use a second track to bypass train A; train C coming on the same track at full speed, smashed into the back of train B killing several people (including the conductor in the first car of train C).

What the bleep does "heimish" mean anyway? It doesn't seem to refer to any Jew who is shomer Torah and mitzvos. Is "heimish" code for "chassidish"? If I were asking the question, I would have asked " were any fun unzerer on the train?" which, to my mind, would have included all Jews, or "were there any M.O.T.s on the train?"
