Train Reverses Away From Hoboken Terminal After Crash

A train reversed away from the Hoboken Terminal in New Jersey on Thursday, September 29, just moments after a NJ Transit commuter train carrying 250 people crashed into the station, leaving more than 100 people injured, according to reports. The train crashed through a wall shortly before 9am, triggering a roof collapse.

The cause of the incident was not immediately clear. NBC New York quoted a police source as saying there were “mass casualties.”

The video captures an announcement from the conductor, who says that there was an accident in Hoboken, which was why they were traveling backwards away from the station and back toward Newark. Credit: Instagram/raultorres2000
