Reports say the the train was travelling at a ‘higher speed than normal’ but thankfully nobody was seriously injured.

These pictures are hard to comprehend as a train leapt from its tracks and went halfway up the escalators that ferry passengers down to the train platforms.

The incident occurred in the early hours of this morning at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport and while 30 people were hurt, it is thought that none of them are seriously injured.
