Hoboken Train Crash

One-dead and more than 1-hundred injured during a train crash in Hoboken, New Jersey,
Thursday September 29th at 8:45am, a passenger train traveling way to fast overran its stopping
point, slammed into a bumper block, went airborne, crashing into the terminal. Leaving
commuting in and out of the New York area a mess.
This is Jordan Colna for WKNJ-FM News Cougar Radio.

I rewrote this news story for WKNJ by stating how the commuting was a mess. A lot of students
were held up at their local train stations due to this crash. Also, it is a city near Union where
Kean University is located, so I felt like this story best fit WKNJ.
