TOKYO, Japan (CNN) -- Emergency crews in Japan are continuing to search for people trapped in the wreckage of a commuter train that left the tracks and slammed into an apartment building.

Tragic. Hopefully none of our Japanese MR friends have been impacted by this.

I heard this on the Radio this morning, so very tragic. My prayers go out to the victims and their families. I also hope that none of our MacRumors family was on the train. According to the news the last train accident in Japan was in the 1960's.
