Train Derails In Chicago

I returned home today to frightening news: Chicago's Blue Line trains had been shut down and evacuated after a train heading toward O'Hare airport during the evening rush hour derailed and started a fire. Minor injuries were reported.

My first thought, watching the video of medics caring for dazed passengers, was that this was a bombing similar to the Bombay attacks, but it appears to have been merely an accident.
