1995 Williamsburg Bridge collision → 1995 Williamsburg Bridge subway crash – The current title is vague: what was the collision between, a barge and a bridge? Nearly all titles for similar articles are worded with rail, train, subway or metro plus accident, crash, or indeed collision. Deeday-UK (talk) 11:13, 23 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Support; Current title is needlessly vague. 205.132.171.177 (talk) 13:37, 23 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Support but change to train crash עם ישראל חי (talk) 16:12, 24 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

The train in question was a subway train, so why not be more specific and use 'subway crash' instead? There are already a number of similar articles titled that way. Deeday-UK (talk) 20:50, 30 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
