"Probe Underway as Subway Derailment Injures Dozens, Disrupts Service, and Sparks NYPD Rescue"

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is launching an investigation into the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) after a train crash on New York City's Upper West Side injured 24 people. This incident, which involved a collision between two trains due to a possible brake system failure on a vandalized train, is the second accident on MTA property in just over a month. The NTSB will examine the entire system, including management and supervision. Limited subway service has been restored, but full service is not expected to return until repairs are completed. The MTA is deploying additional buses to accommodate commuters affected by the service disruptions.
