Default Terrible Tragedy

This from FOX news. A train slammed into a flat car full of wounded warriors who were in a parade. Several dead and many wounded. Apparently this flat car or trailer was stuck on the tracks and a number of the vets were physically unable to escape. This is horrible. No link yet.

Four people died and 17 others were taken to a hospital when a train crashed into a parade float honoring veterans in Midland, Texas, late this afternoon.

Here is a link:

Just sad, very very sad. At a loss for words, just saying prayers to all the families affected.
