A New Jersey Transit commuter train crashed into the Hoboken terminal during rush hour, causing major structural damage and numerous injuries. Emergency services say three people have died.

Local media are reporting “major structural damage” and “multiple injuries,” while the first responders are setting up triage.

The accident occurred around 8:30 am local time, and involved the 1614 train on the Pascack Valley Line. The cause is still unknown.

Preliminary reports said “approximately 100 victims.” Officials have confirmed more than 100 people were injured, and that everyone has been evacuated from the train. The casualties have been taken to area hospitals.

Several people who were on the train tweeted they felt “lucky to be alive.”

Images of the accident posted on social media showed mangled metal, wires and debris scattered all over the floor. It appears the impact was powerful enough to bring down part of the ceiling.

“It simply did not stop,” WFAN anchor John Minko, who witnessed the crash, told 1010 WINS. “It went right through the barriers and into the reception area.”

This is a appropriate Bible Verse. Stress and Anxiety: Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
(John 14:27, NKJV)

Ok I hope it’s okay to use Wikipedia but here is part from a Wikipedia article.The fossil consists of most of the face and mandible with teeth, and, uniquely, a natural endocast of the braincase. It is estimated to be 2.5 million years old. Originally thought to have belonged to a monkey or ape, the skull, as Dart realised, must have been positioned directly above the spine, indicating an upright posture. This is a trait seen in humans, but unknown in other primates.[citation needed]

The Taung Child was originally thought to have been about six years old at death, because of the presence of deciduous teeth; but it is now believed to have been about three or four, based on studies of rates of enamel deposition on the teeth. The creature stood 105 centimetres (3 ft 5 in) tall and weighed between 9 and 11 kilograms (20 and 24 lb). It had a cranial capacity of 400–500 cc,[29] and lived mainly in a savanna habitat.[citation needed]

Comparison of the Taung Child fossil to the skull of a nine-year-old modern child suggest that A. africanus had a growth rate to adolescence more similar to that of modern apes, like chimpanzees (genus Pan), than to that of modern Homo sapiens.[citation needed]

The Taung Child probably was killed by an eagle or other large predatory bird, judging by the similarity of damage to the skull and eye sockets of the Taung Child to that seen in modern primates known to have been killed by eagles.[30]

The most interesting thing to me is the child has a elongated skull in pictures of it I thought only giants and the nephilim had that.
