MORE THAN 30 people are believed to have been injured when a train derailed at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport early this morning and continued up an escalator.
None of those injured are thought to be seriously hurt with the Chicago Transit Authority confirming that the derailment took place at about 2.50am local time and advising that the station remained closed.
The eight-car commuter train derailed early this morning injuring 32 people on board after it failed to stop at an underground station at one of the nation’s busiest airports.
Chicago Fire Commissioner Jose Santiago says the train “climbed over the last stop, jumped up on the sidewalk and then went up the stairs and escalator.”
Chicago Transit Authority spokesman Brian Steele says authorities are trying to piece together what happened, but says the train was likely traveling too fast.
Investigators aren’t sure how many people were on board, but say none of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening. The injured were taken to four hospitals.
The CTA is busing passengers to and from O’Hare to the next station.

Oh gawd ! I thought she was full of something else !
No we don’t. That’s what your doctor’s office is for.
I think we should talk about ……. Jam!, when I was eating jam sangages last week for lunch the jam dripped onto my hand, It was sticky and very annoying . Why not start a debate about that!??
Gimme a jasus break!!!!
@Stephen, It’s really depends on the brand of jam that you use and of course the flavour of jam, chivers strawberry jam is notorious for its dripping qualities, some people will think that I’m a jam racist after that!
There’s a song about it..http://youtu.be/oFRbZJXjWIA
She suddenly feels a need to talk about it AFTER somebody else brought up the topic publically.
why do we need talk about it? it’s a personal medical issue get it sorted and save us having to know about it.
When a woman like Bláthnaid says, “we need to talk about it.” it usually means ‘shut up and listen…or else.’
I don’t see the need to talk about it, – maybe she means ‘women need to be educated about it…??
Kate Winslet said it was” part and parcel” of child birth so if that’s the case, why feel the need to talk about it?
As a taxi driver I can fully vouch for what she’s saying.. It’s actually unbelievable the amount of Women that will leave a stain in the seat when they get out..
Ah, that’s different though… And sure any woman would be the same around such a smooth talker….
Is this a piss take?
Definitely talking the piss.
Indeed. No justice in the world when a poor innocent dog gets his mouth duct taped shut and this bag of piss gets to open hers all too freely.

Literally pissin myself here!
Billy Connolly had been talking about incontinence for years

Really enjoyed the interview Blathnáid gave to Moncrieff yesterday. This wasn’t the only topic she talked about, she also talked about going to college for the first time at forty five, the pressures placed on a woman’s appearance in the media and life in general.
She had keyhole surgery recently to sort out her incontinence problem and is enjoying a better quality of life. Seems like she had a difficult fifteen years with it, and if she chooses to talk about something that affected her personally good for her.
@Chauncey Gardiner,
Yeah but she’s doing a nonsense degree, Women’s Studies.
Gender Studies actually. Why worry about it, what Blanáid does or discusses has no consequence on your life.
We need to talk about crop dusting
Is that the less successful follow up to ”We need to talk about Kevin” ?
Never tell a pregnant woman a secret so
Or how about not talking about it. Just put up with it, or treat it, or whatever the doctor recommends. But definitely, definitely, don’t talk about it. That would work better for all concerned.
Echo island surround by water, makes ya think
No we dont
My mates in England were more interested in how on earth to pronounce her name
Flatulence needs a discussion as well and smelly feet could do with a bit of understanding
Ah she’s just talking shit
Sorry, it’s gone outa me head.
Does she file her taxes in her English name, married name, maiden name , Irish maiden name, Irish married name —- what is her name in English ?? If Irish people want English translated into Irish it should work both ways and her name should appear in English also.
Thank god for c sections!
PMSL

Her name in english is flower coffey
Awful thing but Billy Connolly had a great parody about it…
