Disparate groups, including Humanity's Last Stand, are taking credit for attacks in the subway tunnels of New York City today. FBI experts now agree that both telepathic and technical interference allowed for the highjacking of three trains that seemed to be headed for a collision at an intersection formed by rerouting old subway lines.

Witnesses report mass hallucinations and significant damage to the subway cars immediately before the trains were brought to a complete halt. At that point, chaos seemed to prevail.

Victims in one train claim that they were defended against a whirlwind by a man manipulating golden light and some kind of animal that he summoned to his side. Victims in a second train report a vicious attack by what they could only describe as the forces of darkness. Casualties on both trains are attributed to gunfire from what someone described as a 'lunatic terrorist clown'. Victims on a third train suffered from the tunnel collapse in the aftermath but were otherwise unmolested.

After the trains came to a halt, two different explosions rocked the tunnels and, in spite of the efforts of two heroic mutants, the tunnel ceiling began to collapse. There is no doubt in the minds of all present that, while the catastrophe and many casualties were no doubt caused by mutant terrorist groups, the damage would have been far worse without the intervention of mutant citizens on scene.

S-phone picture of unknown alleged mutant hero who not only saved lives aboard a subway train but remained to secure the scene until authorities arrived.

CNN will have interviews with NYPD and FBI officials in the 6PM EST timeslot. Check iReports for verified phone footage of the catastrophe.
