From NBC4:

One elderly man from the back of the train was covered in blood and soot and appeared to have broken arms and legs. He was one of the last rescued before employees backed off because of leaking diesel.


"The man they took out of the back, he was mangled. I wish I never saw it," Doll said as she watched firefighters continue the rescue.


The elderly man survived for a few minutes after being pulled from the train, but died after thanking his rescuers, said Hugo Moran, a 34-year-old receiving clerk from Van Nuys.


"He was saying he was thankful (to be pulled out) because he didn't want to burn. He was saying, 'Pray for me, pray for me,"' Moran said. "I was telling him stay awake because he was going into shock."


OtherS said they were frustrated they could not do more with limited supplies.


"You can only do so much with small fire extinguishers. We really couldn't crawl in there," said Mark Zavala, a forklift operator. "A lot of people weren't able to get out."


Los Angeles Mayor James Hahn praised the Costco employees for their rescue efforts. After the initial rescue, store employees spent the morning providing survivors with water and clean clothes and cooking pizzas for firefighters. Most other nearby stores and restaurants had not opened.

I found the above to be so heart-breaking, yet heart-warming at the same time. Costco deserves a BIG kudos for this.
