Yes you heard right a city bound interurban emu from Lithgow ran into the
back of the stationary Indian Pacific from Perth just east of Glenbrook
about an hour west of Sydney . The result at this stage is 6 Dead and about
25 Injured. Cause still to be determined. There are a few roumers as to what
happened but I wont go into them now.
