People pulled concrete off bleeding victims and passengers kicked out the windows and crawled out amid crying and screaming after the arriving New Jersey Transit train smashed through a barrier at the end of the track. Passenger Bhagyesh Shah said the train was crowded, particularly the first two cars, because they make for an easy exit into the Hoboken station. “It simply did not stop,” WFAN anchor John Minko, who witnessed the crash, told 1010 WINS. More than 100,000 people use NJ Transit trains to commute from New Jersey into New York City daily. A crash at the same station on a different train line injured more than 30 people in 2011.
