just saw this crazy news about the train crash in Chicago 
15 people were all shook up after that train slammed into a car near the Francisco station... good thing no one was too badly hurt tho 
! 15 whole minutes of delays on the Brown Line? that's just awful 
, hope they can get back to normal soon 
. safety is def super important when it comes to public transport, we don't want any more freaky incidents like this 
.
just got off the bus and heard about that crazy train crash in Chicago... can't believe how close to Francisco station it happened, it's always so busy down there 
i feel bad for those 15 passengers who were on board when it happened, hope they're okay 
anyway, this is like, a good reminder that even with all the safety measures we have in place, accidents can still happen 
and honestly, it's kinda frustrating because the CTA Brown Line is always so reliable... hope it gets back to normal soon 
... 15 people shaken up, but thankfully no major injuries! 
That must've been such a scary experience for all those passengers on board 
. And to think they have to deal with disrupted service for who knows how long?! 
. Hope the investigation finds out what happened and gets things back on track (no pun intended) soon! 
.
. We're all in this together, and a little empathy or kindness can go a long way in making someone's day better 
. And if you do find yourself in a crisis situation, just remember: stay calm, breathe, and reach out for help when you need it 
. I hope they can figure out what happened quickly so we can get back to normal traffic 
. Safety first, you know? 
... remember when they used to have those old-school train drivers who knew every station by heart? Now we got all these new-fangled trains with automated systems and I just can't help but wonder if it's because of that. Anyway, I'm glad no one was seriously hurt, fingers crossed the service gets back on track soon 
. And what's up with these train collisions? It feels like they're happening all the time nowadays... you'd think by now we'd have some of those fancy safety features like they do in Europe 
.
! Like, what if it was an accident... but really it wasn't? 
. And have you seen the videos of the crash? It looks like they had to pull the train away from the wreckage, all deliberate-like 
I'm telling you, something fishy is going on here...
. 15 people shaken up, one pretty lucky to be alive... what if the numbers were different? 
. That train track safety needs a serious check-up ASAP 
!
anyway, hope the person who got hurt is ok tho, 15 people on the train are all shook up too lol. this brown line service is like a nightmare for commuters rn... can we just get some new train system in place already? 
. safety first, right? 
️. just a really weird way to start the day 
.
They're all about that deep dish pizza life, not train wrecks! Anywayz, glad no one was seriously hurt tho 
And sorry to hear that the Brown Line service is still all messed up...I try to take it whenever I can but it's not always possible
