At least one person is dead and over 100 have been injured when a train crashed into a railroad terminal in Hoboken.
The crash happened just before 9 a.m. and dozens of responders rushed to the scene as train number 1614 on the Pascack Valley Line slammed into the building. Transit officials say the train had close to 250 passengers on board.
Passengers and witnesses told television that WABC that they didn't hear the train apply the brakes before the crash.
Transit officials said the train went over the bumper at the end of the track and crashed through the concourse, where passengers wait for trains.
Transit worker Mike Larson told the New York Post that the sound was a “bomb-like explosion.”
The crash caused extensive damage to the train station and caused a metal roof to collapse.
"I stepped over a body, and it was dead woman," William Blaine said told WABC. "I backed up, and people started running over, and I just started telling people they needed to get back, because there was electrical wiring and water running, and the ceiling was about to cave in."
"The conductor, I don't know how me managed to get out, but he opened the doors for us and we got out," Jamie Weatherhead-Saul told NJ.com.
Fire and EMS crews from Essex, Hudson and Union counties responded, along with FDNY's mass casualty response vehicle.
