NYC Radio: WFAN Sportscaster John Minko Witnessed Transit Accident

WFAN 660 AM / 101.9 FM sportscaster John Minko was among those who witnessed Thursday morning’s NJ TRANSIT train crash at the station in Hoboken and then ran for safety.

According to CBS Local, Minko said he was at the top of a stairway headed down to the PATH train when he heard screams and saw the NJ TRANSIT train crash into the station around 8:45 a.m.

“The train simply did not stop,” Minko told CBS2. “It’s similar to a situation in which you try and change a gear and a gear gets stuck, and it would not stop.”
