Hhmm. Wow! That's not a branch. That looks like tree trunk. The Train Operator was lucky that those windows are thick. If not that could have been a runaway train. The FDNY Radio Transcrips says that she sustained a slight injury to the top of her head. Stay prayed up because you never know when your number is up. 🙏

Yeah the conductor has every reason to go on workman’s comp if he’s injured. He probably damn near had a heart attack when it happened
