Did you stand up to get on the 30? No. I remember being on the ground. When I look up, I see the train just rocks falling from a train. A train dangling down. I see blood gushing down my hands onto my shoes onto the ground.

Pick you up. Okay. Ready? I don't have any. And then I was just telling myself, I want to go to sleep.

That's going to be patient too. I remember it was some lady that came to pick me up. She was just telling me, "Don't go to sleep. Stay up. I'm strong. Stay up. I'm just still asking where my dad's at."

There was a gentleman laying on the ground underneath the train that was dangling. I went over and I was trying to assess what was going on and people are yelling at me to move out of the way because they're like, "There's diesel fuel on the ground. It's not safe. It's not safe." And I I was like, "Wait, we can't leave these people here." There are several other people on the ground underneath that train. So, we can't just leave them here.
