New Jersey was the scene of a terrible train crash during rush hour on Thursday morning (U.S. time), one woman killed and a further 108 injured when a train crashed into the Hoboken terminal.

As of yet it is unclear what caused the crash, and federal authorities are busy analysing the train’s ‘event recorder’ to determine speeding and bake usage.

The Huffington Post have gathered some photos from those at the scene so let’s see that destruction:
