Agreed. Also the first car is almost certainly one of the more crowded ones due to proximity to the Hoboken exits; despite this no one *on* the train was killed which is arguably the most important job of the railcar. If anyone was on the fence about FRA crashworthiness specs, this (and the NH line accident a few years ago) should be enough of an argument to not roll them back. If this was a euro-spec car I suspect that while the people in the station would have fared better, those on the train would have fared far worse. And in the station you have a better chance at dodging an impending calamity than you do on the train, so the tradeoff is better the current way. |
