It doesn't say what the second train was. Thank goodness there were only minor injuries!

All eastbound service out of Penn Station, Flatbush Avenue and east of Jamaica is suspended because of a derailment at the Jamaica Station.
The train that derailed is the 9:35 AM train from Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, scheduled to arrive Hempstead at 10:28 AM. A second train is affected by the derailment the 9:34 AM train from Penn Station to Huntington.
There are no reported injuries as a result of the derailment.

Interesting how the news says there are 20 minor injuries but the MTA email says "no injuries".

My thoughts exactly. Gotta love the MTA. They are already in their corner with gloves on for the lawsuits coming there way.

This is my worst fear... glad everyone seems to be OK for the most part.
Wonder how this will effect the commute home...

My DH went into work late this morning because he had to have an MRI.
He transferred in Jamaica at 9:01.
He just missed this, thank God. 
I swear I have a pit in my stomach every single day he goes to work.

Dh is NOT happy. They cancelled and combined his train with another one that is already too crowded. It should be some fun ride home tonight. Maybe I should do something nice for him.. A nice dinner and some beer perhaps???

Re: 2 LIRR Trains Collide In Queens; 20 Minor Injuries Reported
I posted a pic on the thread that Ophelia started. It looks bad in person, I saw it from the 12:06 train home. 1010AM said no injuries either, that's good! One person on 1010 said the train she was in pitched over like at a 45 degree angle. I'd be horrified.
