Subway Train Derails and Goes Up Escalator

submitted by lucky760

1 decade 7 months 3 weeks ago

From NY Daily News:
"Raw footage from a security camera inside a Chicago subway station shows the moment an eight-car commuter train derailed and lauched up an escalator.

The dramatic clip, recorded inside the station at O’Hare International Airport, begins with a straphanger talking to what appears to be a person in uniform at the top of the escalators early Monday.

As the pair converse, the light from an oncoming train can be seen approaching quickly from the background.

Suddenly, the speeding train crashes into the end of the platform — where it vaulted up the escalators.

The two people standing at the top of the stairway leap out of the way as the train lunges towards them."

Can't get the video window to open. Not working for me.

Weird. It's loading for me (and annoyingly auto-playing).

Anyone else having a problem or have an alternate embed?

Choppy video too?

It seems that's an issue with the source video, as I haven't seen a version that doesn't have those weird little laggy moments at the exact same spots.

Engineer came right out and admitted she fell asleep.
