Superhero [chat] of Hoboken

edited September 2016 in Debate and/or Discourse
Not sure what the etiquette here is. 30+ minutes with no chat. I hope I'm not violating any rules.

The Hoboken PATH train literally just crashed into Hoboken station within the last ~20 minutes. This is crazy.

Immediate estimates: 20-30 injured, ~4 of whom don't seem to be able to walk. No deaths reported yet. Hoboken Station was literally rammed into. It looks worse than the train itself does (makes sense, I guess).

edit2:

My thread title comes from this game, which I never actually owned or played (though I wanted to). It was a quirky superhero RPG (think Freedom Force, but older) with really weird superheroes...from Hoboken:

    It's hitting the news this side of the Atlantic. Really, really hope people aren't too badly hurt, but it looks kinda messy.

    It's taking a while to uninstall some steam games, LOL

    I think it took, like, 5 minutes for steam to uninstall Street Fighter IV.

    Hey did you get the new humble bundle? It's MMA Fusion, that game maker software that's not GameMaker. Comes with a few games, windows and html5 export, and some source code.

    Not bad for $15. Not as good as the GM $15 bundle but ya know.

    Train just failed to stop on its way into the station. Injured passengers helped each other off the train with no staff to be found. Passengers getting off other trains reported the story to the media because they saw the train after it had smashed through part of the building.

    Yes this all checks out for a PATH station.

    It's a tossup as to which is worse: MTA or NJT. They are both garbage.

    Yeah. I live at Newport, so I'm close, but I work in Exchange Place (same PATH line - HOB to WTC - but going the other direction). And today I'm working from home.

    My boss, however, emailed us saying he's stuck there because of the crash.

    I definitely go to Hoboken a lot, though. Just not at 9AM on a weekday. Unless it's Hoboken St. Paddy's.

    So far, second day pain worse than first day pain. It feels like someone latched into my jaw with some sort of tool and just wrenched my bones around for a while. That is probably what happened, actually.

    i thought in modern train systems the operator doesn't do that much, the issue being our trains aren old?
