Rescue workers tend to the injured after an Amtrak
passenger train derailed in Kensington, Maryland, a
Washington, D.C., suburb Monday. The train was headed for
Washington, D.C., from Chicago. Six of the train's 13 cars lay
on their side.
Investigators recovered data recorders from the wreckage
of the train that they say should provide clues to why the
train jumped off the tracks, leaving 97 passengers injured.
Six people were trapped in the cars, but all were freed
within an hour. They were reported to be in critical
condition. |
