Dramatic Footage from the Aftermath of Friday's Metro-North Crash
A group of skaters hanging out at a skate shop in Bridgeport, Conn., got a first-row seat to the massive train derailment during Friday's rush hour that left 72 people injured. The video above features strong language, but also incredible footage of the massive track damage that occurred.
The derailment has knocked out train traffic between New York and New Haven (cutting New York off from Boston along that corridor as well). Officials are saying that service will not be restored for weeks. While no fatalities resulted from the collision, several passengers broke bones or suffered significant lacerations.
