Train derailments back in the news

Passengers said that the derailed cars on the track near Joplin, Montana, have left some passengers trapped inside.

One passenger said she heard a boom and felt the carriage 'pitching violently side-to-side,' according to CBS.

Another passenger Megan Vandervest was asleep when the train derailed.

'My first thought was that we were derailing because, to be honest, I have anxiety and I had heard stories about trains derailing,' she told The New York Times. 'My second thought was that’s crazy. We wouldn’t be derailing. Like, that doesn’t happen.' <50%

There were approximately 147 passengers and 13 crew members onboard.
