About two minutes after that collision, a third four-car train left the station, moving slowly, and plowed into the rear 'of the second train. MBTA officials said the third train was not proceeding fast enough to cause much damage.

The Charles street area was quickly blocked off as Boston police and MDC ambulances and cruisers and Fire Department rescue vehicles converged on the scene. 'MBTA officials were unable to pinpoint the cause of the crash, although MBTA chief executive officer Robert R. Kiley said it might have been caused by excessive speed or a malfunctioning, signal system. Firefighters initially concentrated their rescue efforts on the first train. The doors were opened about 10-15 minutes after the collision.

Police said all the passengers were removed from the tunnel within 45 minutes. Most of the injured were taken to nearby Massachusetts General Hospital.

The measure was weaker than either of two proposals before the summit an Egyptian one asking that Israel be suspended from the international organization until it withdraws from occupied Arab lands, and one by the Palestine Liberation Organization calling for Israel's outright expulsion. The final resolution was an unexpected setback for the Arab diplomatic campaign that has pitted black African states increasingly against Israel. --Tinr -Tq 'CfT JfV VftV, ByBillFripp JyMk fefk '7 i'll GlobeStaff By Charles E.

Claffey and David Richwine Globe Staff Three MBTA rapid transit trains carrying about 1200 passengers collided in the tunnel between the Charles Street and Park Street stations during rush hour last night, injuring 132 persons. Most of the injuries were described by doctors as minor cuts, bruises and bumps. However, a 74-year-old Roxbury man was admitted to Boston City Hospital for observation because of a heart condition. His name was placed on the danger list. Six other persons were held at Massachusetts General Hospital, one with a fractured skull and another with a spine fracture.

The chain-reaction collision occurred on the Harvard-Ashmont-Quincy Red Line about 4:50 p.m. It came about 10 minutes after a disabled train in the same tunnel was emptied of its passengers and pushed out of the tunnel by another train on the same line, causing a backup of trains at the Charles Street Station. As. the disabled train was being pushed along the tracks, the first four-car train involved in the accident entered the tunnel and for reasons not immediately explained by the MBTA stopped about 800 feet inside. hit yelled When the train behind us was about 15 yards away, moving at what seemed to be a moderate speed, a group of about five youngsters standing at the rear of our car started to scream "It's not stopping, it's going to hit us," and threw themselveh to the floor.
