美国铁路公司向媒体证实,周一下午,从洛杉矶前往芝加哥的西南酋长4号列车在密苏里州的Mendon脱轨。
当地救援人员已经赶到现场。
一段现场的视频显示了惨烈的的情况,一名女乘客被从破碎的窗户中扶出来,而其他人则被看到在翻倒的车厢上。
一位幸存者分享的照片显示,铁轨一侧似乎躺着一根断裂的卡车车轴。
记者Nylah Burton刚好在另一列准备离开阿尔伯克基的Amtrak列车上,她说工作人员告知他们,前方的事故并宣布列车原地待命,工作人员还称可能会有大面积伤亡。
她在推特上说。’一列@Amtrak列车刚刚在堪萨斯城出轨(可能有人员死亡,但他们不知道所有细节),所以我今晚被困在阿尔布开克,因为列车不能再往前开了。
Number one question inside this sideways Amtrak that derailed in Missouri: who parked a dump truck on the tracks in the middle of nowhere ???
Number one question everywhere else: since when do a couple trains per week derail in America?

另外一个Durand的推特用户分享了这些令人震惊的照片,说:”哦,不。密苏里州某地发生#Amtrak出轨事件#。
Amtrak向媒体证实,目前有多人受伤,但没有公布其他细节。
Amtrak同时在推特上更新,原定从芝加哥出发的西南酋长3号列车已经被取消。Amtrak要求乘客联系1-800-USA-RAIL以获得进一步帮助。
美国人出行以汽车和飞机为主,铁路并不发达,乘坐该车的人多数以旅游为主,目前还不知道具体的伤亡情况,希望大家都平安。
