Snow and glass went flying through the East 16th street apartment window of Karen Espostio and John Corbin at 3:30-AM Tuesday.
In the early dawn hours, there was panic, confusion.
"I go running in, I see my blinds in the hallway. Snow everywhere, glass everywhere," said Esposito.
Then it dawned on them.
"This train, something happened with it," said Corbin.
