Terrible news. Luckily, everyone I know is safe and sound but my thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims. Most likely to me is that this was a medical issue...first thought around the water cooler was faulty barriers but it sounds like the rest of the traffic was stopped and the barrier was down anyway. Murder - suicide was another suggestion that I had heard but I certainly hope that was not the case. Either way, the damage is done. In a way, we got lucky as the train was going slowly to stop at the station right beside that intersection. It's a bad enough situation as is and I can't imagine how bad things would have been if the train was going at full speed.
