NJT Train Derails Near Secaucus

[AlanB]

Just to add to the concept of mis-reporting a story and perhaps even trying to sensationalize it, check out this story on the 1010 WINS News site.

They pulled out a picture from that fatal crash several years ago on the Bergen line. The train that derailed yesterday was a consist of MU's. The picture shows a heavily damaged NJT engine and a diesel one at that.

I guess the pictures of derailed, but upright cars weren't dramatic enough. So instead they dug into their archives to find something dramatic and scary, to make it appear like this was a disaster. :angry:
