Actually it was a amtrak. An Acela derailed in queens causing big headaches for the LIRR:

No. In the video, it says it was a low speed derailment.

How can you derail at a low speed?
A broken switch or something?

Either something on the tracks or the switches weren't put in place properly

I wouldn't. Derailments happen weather you want it or not, just like plane crashes. I think Amtrak does a pretty good job with their operations.

There was a derailment underground too I remember an N train had derailed once and it was one of the R160s that derailed.

I forgot if it was a collision or a derailment, but anyone remember; I believe it was a B train right before Dekalb Ave, this was probably a long while back when some of the forum members were still in the single digit years.

Another one, can't really say it was a derailment but kind of caused one?  The L train incident at Rockaway.

I remembered that incident - it was a D train that derailed right before DeKalb Ave.

I heard that a MFL (Market Frankford Line) here in Philly derailed before.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market%E2%80%93Frankford_Line (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market%E2%80%93Frankford_Line)
March 7, 1990: Three people were killed and another 162 were injured when the last three cars of six-car train #61 derailed leaving 30th Street Station westbound at 8:20AM. It is believed that one of the traction motors dropped out of the rear truck on the third car (M3) somewhere between 15th and 30th street stations, and it became entangled in a switch immediately upon leaving 30th street station. The front truck of the fourth car (M3 #818) followed the third car, while the rear truck of the fourth car took the diverging track, causing the car to shear halfway upon striking the steel pillars separating the tracks beyond the switch.
