- Story Text: Aerial footage of a Hoboken train station on Thursday (September 29) revealed damage to the station's roof sustained after a commuter train plowed into a platform at the height of rush hour.
The crash killed at least one person and injured more than 100 others as it brought down part of the roof and scattered debris over the concourse.
Witnesses described terrifying scenes as the front of the train smashed through the track stop at high speed and into the terminal, toppling support columns and creating chaos at one of the busiest transit hubs in the New York City area.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said one person was killed and 108 injured.
The cause of the crash is under investigation. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
