I was going to say Capt. Smith, but same effect.

Good to know you're alright, germanos. Any specifics on what occured?

No, I wasn't

My coach merely was derailed, and the first impression it was just that: the train had derailed. Nobody panicked and there was mostly (a little nervous) laughter.
Only later we realized the mess behind us.

I suppose the people in the other coaches were shaken and tossed around quite bad, but apparently there were no more then a few bruises. Most of the crowd just boarded the next available train and left for work .
When the medics arrived at my unfortunate fellow-traveller, I did the same.

We had just left the station, and we had little speed, which helped avoiding serious trouble.
The downside of the low speed is that the security-system in place in Holland doesn't work at speeds below 40 or 50 km/h, and thus accidents like this are becoming increasingly 'normal'
