After train derailment, Chicago Transit Authority sticks to the facts
A train went off the tracks at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, injuring more than 30 people. On social media and in the press, the agency was hesitant to offer much explanation.

CTA’s Twitter account reported the derailment almost immediately.

The account periodically tweeted about the derailment throughout the morning, but it was all immediate information for riders rather than an explanation of the derailment.
