Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., tweeted that he was on the train at the time of the crash.

"I'm on @Amtrak train that just crashed. Im ok. Helping others. Pray for those injured," he wrote.

Okay, is it just me?... This is like taking a selfie. If, heaven forbid, I find myself in that situation and as soon as I feel everything stop?...

1.) I'm checking to see if I'm alive. Check. Good.
2.) I can move my limbs? Check. Good.
3.) See if anybody in my immediate vicinity needs assistance. Check. Okay, clear. Good
4.) Make sure I am out of danger. Check. Good.
5.) Look for more fellow passengers in need of help at least until I am escorted out by emergency personnel. Check. Good.
6.) Locate my phone and call an immediate loved one and ask that they contact others who may have concerns with my well-being...

Seems reasonable, right? But... "Im ok. Helping others."? Immediately jumping on Twitter?

"No ma'am, your leg shouldn't normally bend like that but let me post a message to my followers and I'll be right with you, hold still and quit your belly-aching. Hey, should "Amtrak" be in all caps?..."

Now, I feel as though I am looking skyward through grandmaw's eyes when I find myself repeating her oft-expressed, loving plea...

"Heaven help us..."

It’s not just you ....I had the same thoughts when reading the article. Murphy is so vain he thinks the whole world needs to know he’s “ok” ...oh, and he’s “helping others” too! What a joke.

You should definitely “hashtag” #Amtrak when you post.
