  1. “New York passenger train derails, killing 4 and hindering Monday commutes”

  2. Four died and at least 67 were injured after a train derailed in the Bronx, about 10 miles north of Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal on Sunday morning. It's not the first time a train jumped the tracks on this turn. A freight train derailed in the same curve in July. "That is a dangerous area on the track just by design," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said after Sunday's crash. "The trains are going about 70 miles an hour coming down the straight part of the track. They slow to about 30 miles per hour to make that sharp curve.” The train operator -- who is among the injured -- told investigators he applied brakes to the train, but it didn't slow down. Investigators have recovered an event recorder from the locomotive and another car, but haven't yet examined them.

  3. In Other News Paul Walker, a star of the "Fast & Furious" movie franchise, died Saturday in a car crash, according to his official Facebook page and verified Twitter account. He was 40. Police are investigating the death of a man Sunday at the Kansas City Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium after he got into a struggle with another person. The incident occurred in a parking lot at the stadium while the Chiefs played the Denver Broncos just inside the venue, Kansas City, Missouri, police spokesman Tye Grant said. The altercation began when someone left the game and found the man, who later died at an area hospital, inside their car. The man may have owned a similar car, Grant said. "The incident did not involve any fan rivalry," Police Chief Darryl Forte said in a Twitter post. Three people are in police custody, Grant said.
