Bronx, Glasgow and Alaska: The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating yesterday’s passenger train derailment in the Bronx. Four people were killed and at least 67 others were injured when the Metro-North Hudson Line train jumped the tracks near the Harlem River.
2. OBAMACARE
Better, but not perfect: Let’s face it, the HealthCare.gov website was a mess on day one, and even day 15 for that matter. But how’s it doing now – two months after the fact?The Obama administration says there’s a “night and day” difference. The Obamacare sign-up website can now handle 50,000 users at one time and 800,000 over the course of a day. Those were two key goals when the site launched on October 1. There are still plenty of bugs to fix, officials admit, but they’re happy with the progress.
