“Obviously an extraordinary tragedy. We prayed for the family of the one fatality, that we have confirmed, for her and her family. We have 108 injured, and all of those have been evacuated to local hospitals and receiving the care they need,” said Governor Chris Christie who told reports he had just taken a tour of the crash site with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, at a Thursday afternoon briefing in Hoboken.“The engineer who was operating the train was also critically injured is at a local hospital and cooperating with law enforcement official in the investigation.”“Obviously an extraordinary tragedy.

Christie said what is know so far is the New Jersey Transit train came in at a high rate of speed into the station and crashed through all the barriers and bringing it to the wall of the Hoboken Terminal.“Extraordinary reaction from local law enforcement and EMS, and civilian passengers who assisted EMS and local police and state police in evacuating passengers as quickly as possible, and helping with the triage of the passengers,” said Gov. Christie. Christie said what is know so far is the New Jersey Transit train came in at a high rate of speed into the station and crashed through all the barriers and bringing it to the wall of the Hoboken Terminal.“Extraordinary reaction from local law enforcement and EMS, and civilian passengers who assisted EMS and local police and state police in evacuating passengers as quickly as possible, and helping with the triage of the passengers,” said Gov.

He called for not jumping to conclusions, but let the facts lead to the conclusion.“We are not going to speculate about the cause of the accident. Facts is we are in the midst of an investigation,” said Christie. “I was called by the White House…they dispatched the NTSB and federal Railways Commission but also have pledged resources.”He called for not jumping to conclusions, but let the facts lead to the conclusion.“We are not going to speculate about the cause of the accident.
