    More than 500 people were sent to hospital after the incident … 423 people have been discharged from hospital … 25 in serious condition

    What is stupid is the headline, why not “500+ injured in subway crash” instead of using the number of one kind of injury. As stupid as writing “two people lost a tooth in subway crash”. Still one of the seriously injured could die, but of course I wish everyone a speedy recovery, from injuries but also from the shock of the accident.

      I agree with you, but also I think 100 people with broken bones is loads. That’s a serious injury.

      If your headline said “two people lost an arm” instead of a tooth, that would be an astounding statistic worth printing.
