Train derail victim's brother speaks out about her death

Eyewitness News
NEW YORK (WABC) -- He saw his little sister off to live the American Dream, and then, this past Sunday, half a world away, Ahn Jin Won turned on his computer and on the internet, and he learned her fate.

"I never thought my sister would die this way. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't think," said Ahn Jin Won, the victim's brother.

34-year-old sister Anh Kisook, a pediatric nurse from South Korea, wanted to come to New York to hone her craft.

But she lost her life along with three other commuters on Thanksgiving weekend, when a Grand Central bound Metro-North train flew off the tracks at Spuyten Duyvil.
