[shelski72]

how this could happen is stunning.

[lbrendse]

No its my own kit

[ericn32]

you made your own system, or is it just an off-the-shelf kit?

[lbrendse]

This why I have postive train control on my HO scale.

my father died on that crash...

[onstageagain]

When I first read about this man texting boys while working, first thing I thought He was chickenhawk (older gay guy cruising for boys). Im sure I wasnt the only one who thought that. Bingo ... it was a fact. Hes gay and had little teen boys age 14yrs ole in the cabin driving the train. Fag idiot bastard.

[kbusses]

Really, are you serious? Thats messed up. The fact the he was gay is not the problem. The problem is when he let his lifestyle interfere with his work.

[jjsd1996]

That is weird that happend the day after the anniversery of 9-11

[vouyroy]

its not all hate dat makes people post bad comments its all the angryness and sorrow they feel . one person made the mistake to be texting and not doing their jobs simply messing around... now i only have memories of my dad i will never see him again.when u see the body of any of ur family in a body bag and died of trama .. then u tell me how to feel ? after that tell me to forgive ? delete my comment . one month already my tears still fall. old news to u except the other victims families

May God Bless all those who were lost and injured on that tragic day. "We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you"

[FatherTime89]

My Dad was almost on the train that crashed, thankfully he took the train that came after the one that crashed.

[injurylawyers]

This is another wonderful tribute. God bless whoever did this!

[highspeedrailfan]

Wonderful tribute. Thank you.

[Imagistiks]

Thank you for your nice comment.

[pemberton926]

Very Very good !!! This was perfect don't change a thing.

[Imagistiks]

Thank you!

[iwannabannana]

Wow ,beautiful tribute, i think that this is to honor all those that died, the injured and their families, anyone with comments that are disrespectful should be blocked, great job, thank you for sharing..

[Imagistiks]

Thank you. All hateful comments have been removed. I hope those who made them will find compassion in their heart someday.

[espeeboy]

A 57 year old (racist) calling out 14 year olds who have done nothing wrong but befriend a very cool Metrolink engineer (RIP Hogg Sanchez). Shame on you sir.

[Imagistiks]

Thank you for your understanding.

[70intruder]

I don't know know many people who havent text while driving their car so stop all the hating,for this could be yourself your talking about.And there are many times when a engineer is running on clear signals and the system malfunctions and goes red in their face! You think metrolink will admit to that! I think not. It is much easier to blame a dead guy! God Bless and rest in peace Mr. Sanchez.

[Imagistiks]

Thank you for your respectfull comment. If only more people had your compassion and understanding, the world would be a much better place.

[Jaanfo]

God Bless all those involved indeed. Thank you very much for this lovely tribute. God Bless those who perished and I pray for recovery for those who survived.

I wish some people would slow down and show a little compassion, forget the accusations and controversy and allow a space here to honor your fellow humans.

[Imagistiks]

Thank you for you blessings and your compassion. I wish there were more people in the world like you...

[Jaanfo]

Nick Williams received a text message... What did he do wrong?

[longlivethewtc]

I find it extremely hard to believe a text caused this crash. We'll see when the NTSB makes it report. I have a feeling we'll find out the text was not the cause.

[Pellaz2112]

Beautiful tribute....5*.

[Imagistiks]

Thanks for the 5 stars!

[ddoorrkk]

My school couselor died in that accident =( it is just so heart breaking. I pray for all involved: victims, families, and anyone touched by tragic and horrific event.

[Imagistiks]

My condolences on your loss. Please keep the memory of your school counselor in your heart.

[ddoorrkk]

Thank you very much! I truly appreciate that.

RIP to the People who perished.

[PhDEd]

The comments of some here are most unfeeling. I think that the site was developed as a Memorial to those who died and those who were injured....even by mental trauma for just being on the train. This site in my opinion is awesome, but should remain with respect and not opinion, otherwise I believe you missed this message of the poster, and can only come up with your chance to be noticed. 25 dead should be the focus and comments from this site should be limited to wishing thoughts to family

[Imagistiks]

I also find these unfeeling comments hateful and they make me ill. Therefore, all comments like them will me removed. It was my intention to "Memorialize" this terrible disaster so that the lives that were lost would never be forgotten. Enough said...

[Trainman11185]

NO! don't blame the teenagers

[Imagistiks]

I agree -

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you ~ Wayne Dyer

[Imagistiks]

Remember the quote by Charles 'Tremendous' Jones

No one is a failure until they blame somebody else.

[Trainman11185]

NO! don't Charge the teens with murder for contributing to the crash by texting

[Imagistiks]

And remember - Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

As I said earlier - All hatefull comments such as those you are reffering to will be removed.

Before we blame we should first see whether we cannot excuse.

[imjstsayin]

RIP to all those innocent people that died, God be with you all, and with all those that are still suffering from their injuries. May God be with all those rescue teams as well, their memories will forever be scarred. May God keep his loving hands with you to help you all heal.

[Imagistiks]

Thank you for your blessing and may their memory stay within your heart.

[sensesfail91]

[Imagistiks]

Thank you for your comment.

Rest in peace Pastor Paul Long. You are loved and missed. Always.

[Imagistiks]

Excerpt from Pastor Paul's funeral service:

"We didn't see it, but as those trains collided just on the Chatsworth and Simi Valley border, Pastor Paul saw the sign of the Son of Man," the pastor told a hushed church. "We looked at a body that was bloody and bruised. Pastor Paul saw glory. He would tell us to comfort yourself with this thought: 'It didn't look to me like it looked to you.' "

There is hope amid the pall.

[youwantlexie]

his funeral service is tomorrow..

[rjmolinar]

My thoughts and prayes go out to all who lost loved ones in this horrific accident. May God bless you all.

Riverside, CA.
