Caption/Description

An unidentified woman, pinned in this wrecked window frame for more than an hour with a man sitting on her lap is finally lifted from the wreckage. Throughout the ordeal the woman remained calm, supporting herself in an upright position by hanging onto the parts of the wrecked coach which was the front car of the northbound train. The man was removed from her lap a few minutes before she was freed.
