From Alex, "I started my day riding an Amtrak train covering a story about expanded rail service in Western Washington. We left the station a little after 6 am.
"Once we arrived in Tacoma, Washington we exited the train to go cover another story. Minutes after we got off I got a phone call from my Executive Producer. She told me the train had just derailed. Multiple people are dead. Dozens are injured.
"I will be ok, but I will tell you this.....when I go home for Christmas in a few days I’ll hug my family a little tighter because I need it. Life can change so fast. This is very hard. My heart remains with those who weren’t as lucky as me. I know they were wonderful people.”
