Metro-North Train Exceeded Speed Limit Before NYC Crash

"Not with those swine, no. But there's plenty that would if they got half a chance. They're not so holy as they make out."

National Transportation Safety Board investigators said the Metro-North train that derailed Sunday morning in the Bronx was traveling 82 miles per hour as it entered a tight curve with a speed limit of 30 mph.

His heart leapt. Scores of times she had done it: he wished it had been hundreds----thousands. Anything that hinted at corruption always filled him with a wild hope. Who knew, perhaps the Party was rotten under the surface, its cult of strenuousness and self-denial simply a sham concealing iniquity. If he could have infected the whole lot of them with leprosy or syphilis, how gladly he would have done so! Anything to rot, to weaken, to undermine! He pulled her down so that they were kneeling face to face.

The investigators are "not aware of any problems or anomalies with the brakes," NTSB Member Earl Weener said at a news conference Monday.

"Listen. The more men you've had, the more I love you. Do you understand that?"

Four people were killed in the accident and more than 60 were injured, the first passenger deaths in Metro-North's 30-year history.
