It’s an absolute MIRACLE this lady survived. All of those fatal injuries and she was still able to breathe and live long enough until help. One strong lady right here
the joy of this woman in her face talking about it is an indicator that she luckily overcame the emotional baggage of that terrible trauma and moved on with her life. What a great inspiration! I admire her so much
I wouldn't say she overcame it, you can't really move past trauma like that. I think she's more so come to terms with it and learned to live with what happened, you can tell it still haunts her at times during this interview.
Or she's a laugher like me... So e people laugh at inappropriate times, and we can't always help it. I used to laugh when my dad would yell at me for getting in trouble. It's just a reaction my brain does automatically.
Great news..Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one can go to the Father except through him.❤️ Knowing Jesus is knowing peace, protection and provision ❤️ Jesus saves, Jesus heals, Jesus grants peace ❤️
The fact that she survived having her lower abdomen organs vastly shifted from where they were is a miracle in my eyes. It’s just crazy how that even happened!
Right, I need some of her optimism. I think I'm running low these days, but I'm happy for her and anyone who can heal from trauma and get to a better place in life.💜
I can't imagine what the father myst have felt, searching for your wife and fearing she is dead, and if she is you have to be the one to change your kid's life by telling them the news. That must have felt so agonizing.
I know she said it's not about being strong, but damn what a strong woman. Not many people can speak about such a traumatic event lightly, let alone with such good humor.
@@benu_bird everybody knows the doctors saved her . what shes sayying is she beleived god did 2 and she never said the doctors didnt making this comment unnecarily mean. have a good day though.
@@Dorckey1No, they said that she survived because god wanted her to survive, nothing about doctors. It’s usually “god saved him!” when someone survives, but “the doctors couldn’t save him” when they die. You can’t just assume what they meant. Have a nice day, though.
@@benu_bird It rubs me the wrong way when people credit the big man upstairs who didn't do a thing instead of the highly skilled team of doctors and surgeons that meticulously and painstakingly saved her from otherwise fatal injuries.
💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐RIP Dr. Derrick Griffith (aged 43), Jim Gaines (aged 48), Justin Zemser (aged 20), Laura Finamore (aged 47), Robert Gildersleeve (aged 45), Rachel Jacobs (aged 39), Giuseppe Piras (aged 41) and Abid Gilani (aged 55) you will truly all be missed and my prayers go out to you all and your families. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
It means a lot to hear her talk about the mental side of medical trauma. I’m a young cancer patient and she’s such a beacon of hope for me after going through so much.
id imagine she'd be unconscious with the wound she said she has. broken rib, diaphragm, pelvis, back puncture bladder, displaced intestines, etc. even after surgery she had to be on powerful painkiller.
@@takumi2023 I’m not doubting what you’re saying, but my mother was in a horrific car accident. And she did not get to be unconscious at all until she arrived at the hospital and they were able to assist her to sleep to have a surgery done on her left arm. I pray that she was unconscious for the train wreck. But sometimes people don’t get that.
@@takumi2023 With the damage she had, She probably was conscious for some while but she just doesn't remember. If she was unconscious for that long with those injurys, she wouldnt of made it.
I wasn’t in a train wreck but I am going through major trauma with multiple major surgeries on my back, pelvis and leg. Still have another surgery on my back and pelvis to walk again. I’m just trying to make it through, everything you said is all too real for me. You give me some hope 🙏🏼💕
And incredibly intelligent. If she had no significant medical knowledge before the injury and actually soaked up all that information in recovery, she might be a genius. She sounded like a doctor explaining what happened to her patient. 😂
She’s such a wonderful speaker, with a beautiful outlook and take on her situation. She truly would be a wonderful public speaker, or even an optimistic comedic for helping others through these traumatic experiences!!! What a truly amazing speaker
I can't believe on top of all that trauma, not only did she miraculously survive & thrive, she went through opioid withdrawal! 😮 Thank you, to this amazing woman. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
She's a medical miracle. Her injuries were horrific and any one of them could have been fatal. It will never be enough because of the pain she will continue to endure, but I hope she got a good settlement. Im a veteran and I suffered extensive injuries (not as bad as hers) but you never stop hurting and then the healed injuries start hurting again years later. Its always something when you have had major physical trauma. One of my main injuries was the hip also; I feel for her. I hope she stays in counseling because it really helps to talk to someone... it doesn't stop the pain but it gets your mind right to that you can deal with it.
Wow, the light that shines from this woman is BRIGHT. I'm so glad her family gets to continue to live alongside someone so strong and beautiful. What a badass lady, I wish the best 😊
I shattered my right arm last year and i can whole heartedly say the mental aspect becomes so bad the physical doesnt even matter anymore - the pain, the lack of ability, etc lack of independence - its crazy…
i don't know her, but from the way she speaks and rationalises her experience, i can say that she is an amazing and incredibly strong willed woman. I wish you the very best in your healing journey
it gave me chills when they showed the photos of her in recovery. in comparison, she has so much more life in her eyes now. you can tell she’s accepted what happened and she’s handling it like a boss. bless her.
I remember that 2015 crash, what was that Amtrak driver even thinking not slowing down at that curve!? It'll soon be 10 years since that crash occurred when next year comes.
The engineer didn’t slow down because he lost situational awareness when he got distracted from a radio conversation where someone had threw rocks at another train window.
iirc this engineer also wrote repeatedly how that specific curve should have positive train control, which would have prevented the accident. Really cruel twist of irony.
She’s clearly handled her pain gracefully. Im happy her family helped her recover and gave her something to hold on too. I’m sorry for those that didn’t make it. I hope their families find peace and comfort.
That's so horrible. Over 100 mph in a 50 mph curve? How does that work? Isn't there safe guards looking at the amount of time it takes to get place to place? What an awesome lady! Im so sorry she had to go through this!!
I live here in philly and remember this oh so well. From time to time, i still thought about the victims from that day. I'm glad that she got another chance at life but saddened that others lost their lives. This was very horrific to witness across my screen. God bless her. She is so full of life
At the time, the rail curve they were going was not ATC protected, and the driver was tried for manslaughter, reckless endangerment, and causing a disaster-like scene as a result of his negligence. A hearing from the safety board said that the derailment was caused by a loss of situational awareness, and the driver of the train said he recalled that something hit his windshield that may be thrown up by an oncoming commuter train. Initially he was charged two times for all 8 manslaughter counts, and the safety board said that all of this could’ve been prevented had a PTC system been in place to force the train to slow down. As of recent, the driver was acquitted on all counts.
To continue to smile and be so positive after such trauma is a testament to her strength and character. And to call it all a gift in the end, this woman-is incredibly strong.
I'm a paraplegic L1 incomplete I'm grateful for my son and my family with our them I would not got as fast as I did but it's my son who makes me want live every day for him ❤
Omg , I could listen to her forever she’s so charming and I relate about being on high alert all the time 💔 it’s exhausting, I hope she’s living and enjoying her life now
Hearing her injuries was bewildering. She is definitely blessed to be alive. What a testimony!! Praise be to God! Blessings to you and your family Geralyn!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤
Going through those immense forces, internal injuries, and surgery has to be excruciating. All of that and she can look back at the little things and find humor in it. It shows how strong she is. I like seeing these stories so many years in advance after a tragedy and show how far they came. Not a lot of news agencies do that. Seeing a smile on them after all the pain is great to see, showing they’ve come far, even though the pain will always be there. I’m glad she’s looked at the positives and blessings since then. I hope she and others like her have a great future!
Mind-blowing ! And what a delightful sense of humor which surely must have helped make a massive difference in her healing . What an incredible lady and an inspiration.
as someone going through her first big injury (tore my acl and 4 other ligaments in my knee) her words of advice really opened my eyes. will definetly check out her book.
Her story was powerful. The power of her kids love .The power of a husband's strength for her.The power of family near. But most powerful of all was her will to see another day , then another . The power of God was with her throughout her journey and beyond.
it’s difficult for my brain to imagine how her organs could’ve shifted that way, and what the docs saw when they opened her up. absolutely insane she survived!!
It is amazing to me how happy she is and how she can talk about this confidently. It goes to show how much therapy and a single person caring to ask can change a person's life
TY so much for telling her story, Inside Edition!! Such an Inspiring Woman! May God help all of us to cherish the loved ones He has given us and the Time we have with them & Be Ready for Eternity!❤
She’s such an optimistic and positive person, it’s contagious. I’ve suffered an injury, and it does affect you emotional. It’s changed me forever, but I am grateful for what I still have. My accident was a joke compared to hers, just a broken leg with complications, but that was enough for me. I wish her ongoing contributions healing and happiness.
You're one amazing lady, with resilience I've seldom seen. I await many surgeries due to my body caving in on itself from osteoarthritis. My clinic nurse suspects I have osteoarthritis too, so I'm awaiting blood test results. Until tonight I was convinced that I'm one of the few pain riddled people in earth, but I have changed my mind in a big way now - thanks to watching your story! Geralyn, you're my muse - thank you for your honest recounting of your painful situation and miraculous survival. All the best to you for your total healing. May you be miraculously touched and healed by our Lord. Love from Mossel Bay in South Africa 🇿🇦 xxx
Such a strong person. Overcoming what she has and continuing to overcome and cope with what still haunts her is absolutely strength. PTSD is a horrible beast. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
This woman is the definition of what a warrior truly is. She not only survived a train crash that should have killed her but she also overcame the opiods and didn't get hooked. 💯
So this actually happened in 2015 and the train conductor Brandon Bostian was found not guilty at his trial for manslaughter. He hadn't frequented that track so he was unfamiliar and he lost situational awareness they said. they said it was an accident because right before the curve he was getting radio reports of someone shooting bullets or rocks being thrown at the trains and he thought he had already passed the curve. As soon as the curve is over the speed goes up to 110 mph so he thought his speed was ok. Amtrak was found liable and had to pay millions out to the victims and their families because they didn't have any safety protocals that could have warned him about where he was and what not. After the accident they did install more indicators and things to help keep the conductors aware of surroundings. This was in 2015 so im sure things have even changed since then.
It’s an absolute MIRACLE this lady survived. All of those fatal injuries and she was still able to breathe and live long enough until help. One strong lady right here
And with such a positive attitude!
God and Jesus Christ blessed her
What a strong lady, with a great sense of humour! I wish her well

He hadn't frequented that track so he was unfamiliar and he lost situational awareness they said. they said it was an accident because right before the curve he was getting radio reports of someone shooting bullets or rocks being thrown at the trains and he thought he had already passed the curve. As soon as the curve is over the speed goes up to 110 mph so he thought his speed was ok. Amtrak was found liable and had to pay millions out to the victims and their families because they didn't have any safety protocals that could have warned him about where he was and what not. After the accident they did install more indicators and things to help keep the conductors aware of surroundings. This was in 2015 so im sure things have even changed since then.
