“A BIG TRAIN CAME INTO MY ROOM, DADDY.” Hazel Standen, who was in the wrecked room and was rescued unhurt. “I never expected to find her alive,” said her father. "I called the driver for assistance, believing that she was pinned somewhere underneath the wreckage. I called her name, but got no answer. I called again, and this time heard a little moan. A few moments later I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw her crawl out from underneath the house into the arms of the driver. ’Save my picture’ was all she said. She had only the slightest scratch on her nose.”
