I was listening to the radio last night and they made much of his multiple injuries, pins in the his legs and things like that. Trying to ramp up the sympathy for him.
On Mark Levin last night, lots of engineer-type people called in and all noted that everyone knows about that curve and knows to slow down, and the worst thing he could have done as pull the emergency brake. I don’t remember the kind of advice they gave, but it was kind of like what you do when your car starts sliding on ice.
Wonder why you shouldn’t pull the brake then, & did he know that? Sounds like he was a bad engineer, who shouldn’t have been doing that job.
