Guess I can copy and paste for you.

The Problem:

I put the game in windowed, turned FOV down to 0, put all the graphics on low, turned off vsync, turned off subtitles, disabled the dlc, verified the game cache, lit some incense, prayed to the machine spirits, and finally, after all of that, it still crashes as soon as the train station goes boom. I then restarted my computer and tried again but still no dice. That's a pretty good bomb.

The Fix:

Finally, I found a ridiculous solution. I put all of my graphical settings back to default and played again. Once the train station walk and talk starts I alt tabbed to a different window. I then moused over the icon for Deus Ex, the one that reads DXMD. I moved the cursor up over the small "preview" window and train station walk and talk unpaused and continued. Right click on the preview window and click options. The video of the game will freeze and the graphics options from the game start up will appear. Just let it sit there, even if the conversations stop playing audio. Eventually you'll hear the boom and the cutscene will start. At that point just cancel out of the options menu and enjoy.

Given this solution, and my other thread about the train station scene throttling my cpu and dropping frames (when the other parts of the game that i've gotten to so far don't...)

I feel like perhaps something is just causing severe performance problems in the train station, enough in some cases for a flat out crash?

I found that by changing the PhysX processor from auto to my GPU fixed it for me without any of these redicious fixes/work arounds (NVidia only).

I just tried switching from auto to my 2nd gpu and it still crashed at the station. Ill try switching it to gpu 1 and see if that fixes it.

Attempt number 41 has failed. I get the the blast, but the cutscene fails to activate.
