I was putting baby items, furniture and such, in an old carriage barn, turned out building (not outhouse).
The items belonged to a friend who had recently given birth prematurely.
As I tried to close the doors and secure the building, an exterior structure became shakey and a passing elevated train overhead skipped the rails and flipped. The train engineer fell from the car and careemed feet first through 5 balconies. Teens coming from school followed him, falling weightlessly 50 feet to the ground. I screamed and screamed, called 911 begging for help. Trying to make the operator understand that scores of people had been hurt yet amazingly they were all alive and concious barely bumped and bruised. Emergency personnel soon arrived and cared for the injured. It was a terrifying ordeal but luckily no one had perished.
