Rest in peace, Michael Jackson
A week ago today, the world lost one of its most precious treasures. Michael Jackson, the greatest entertainer to ever walk the earth, died tragically from cardiac arrest. While much of the media coverage has focused on the most salacious aspects of his life, Jackson has undoubtedly left a legacy that is bigger, broader and brighter than the words of his detractors.

Green Line cars crash; passengers injured

NEWTON.  An operator was killed when two Green Line trains collided yesterday, an accident that also left several riders injured.

Terrese Edmonds, of South Boston, was reported dead last last night by the MBTA.

The crash occurred on the D branch near 6 p.m. on the track approaching the Woodland station.

Edmonds was driving the train that hit the other from behind. It took several hours for crews to extract her body from the wreckage.

One train had stopped at the red signal along the line and began moving when the second train struck. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the accident.

Seven passengers were  hospitalized and five were treated at the scene, said T spokesman Joe Pesaturo. Those hospitalized suffered non-life threatening injuries.
