Metrolink #111 Crash

**UPDATE** Mr. Long passed away today around 12pm. Pray for his family.
Yesterday there was a catastrophic crash of metrolink train #111 in Chatsworth. Praise God Mr. Nickles was not on the train. Although I did find out I knew someone on the train, Mr. Long a high school teacher from Oaks Christian. He and his family were returning on the train from his mothers memorial. This is a very sad time for his family Mr. Long was critically injured and underwent emergency brain surgery. There are reports he was coming off life support and some reports he had passed. I am not sure if he has passed away...I pray he has not.

His son Devin was interviewed and put in the NY Times:
Devin Long, 16, was sitting in the middle car with his parents when the trains collided. “There was a great big jerk,” he said. “I heard what sounded like a bunch of cars colliding, like a multicar crash. Both my parents went flying. Next thing I knew, I was on the floor between the exit doors.” Mr. Long was thrown from his seat, but remained conscious.

His father, Paul Long, 56, lay unconscious but breathing by the stairwell to the second level of the double-decker car. His mother, Karen Long, 55, was injured but alert, he said. “When I saw the condition Dad was in, I sort of freaked out,” he said. “Mom was trying to communicate with Dad. I turned around and saw all the seat cushions tossed about the car. There was blood everywhere. People had cuts on their heads and faces, legs, they had many injuries.”
