The Chatsworth crash was the deadliest Metrolink tragedy in history. It took place on September 12, 2008, at 4:22 PM, involving a freight train with three crew members and a commuter train with 225 passengers. The collision left 135 people injured and 25 dead, one of which was 49-year-old Charles E. Peck. His body was found 12 hours after the crash, but for 11 hours, his cell phone placed over 30 calls to his family members. But when they answered, all they heard was static.
