There was no question but what the new ferry was welcome. Already, more than 17,000 reservations have been booked by northbound tourists for this season, another 1,500 for next year. Not only does the new service open up the 330-mile inside passage from Kelsey Bay on Vancouver Island to Prince Rupert, B.C.'s largest northern port, but the ship's 20-hour run also eliminates 800 miles of driving to get to the panhandle of Alaska. In fact, by continuing northward from Prince Rupert on the three-year-old Alaska Ferry Service, the motorist...

Seconds later, alerted by a warning flare, a passenger train southbound from Tokyo halted on a clear track beside the freight. At that moment, a northbound commuter train roared up the middle track. The locomotive crashed into the derailed freight cars, did a right angle flip and sliced through the fifth and six coaches of the passenger train. The first rescuers recoiled from the carnage. Recalled one: "There were bodies piled four to six deep. There...
Darkness was settling on New York City's Henry Hudson Parkway one Sun day last May when a northbound car suddenly plunged through a six-foot di vider hedge, skittered into the south bound traffic and smashed head-on into another car. All of the people in the northbound car - a seven-year-old boy, his greatgrandparents, his great-aunt and a friend of the family-were killed. The driver of the other car was gravely injured. Motorists braked to a stop and hurried to the wreckage. In the midst of a gathering crowd, Gareth Martinis, 23, peered into...
