How did it happen? That's the question bedeviling investigators as they gather the details and sift through the wreckage of the disastrous Metrolink crash, which happened one week ago today. To see what they see, check out this presentation by the Public Utilities Commission, which includes maps and diagrams, as well as photos of both the reenactment of the crash and the real-life aftermath.

Chatsworth residents are planning a vigil tonight at the crash site to honor the victims, survivors and rescue workers. For more about those who died, The Times has gathered their photos and obituaries into a Metrolink database, where hundreds of people have been leaving comments and prayers.
