“Did getting hit with a rock cause the train to accelerate to over 100mph? I’d like to see someone explain how that can happen.”
That is not outside the realm of possibilities.
However, I’m sure any degree of causation between the rock and the train’s acceleration will be investigated.
And they need to find the punk kids who threw the rock and charge them with murder and terroristic act, if the rock had any cause in the crash.
Do you have two sets of standards?
One for the rock thrower and one for the engineer?
Where's you comment about the engineer, who if he caused the accident, should be charged with murder.
That is not outside the realm of possibilities.
Sure, it's within the realm of possibilities that the impact of the rock opened up a black hole and the gravity sucked the train in. How about we stick to reasonable possibilities?
Is there any reasonable scenario in which an engineer would accelerate his train in response to it having been hit by a rock?
Look at the undamaged right side of the window, where the black paint is. It's perfectly straight.
Now look at the left side black painted window edge. It's clearly been compromised or deformed inward right where some of the cracking is emanating from.
At least some of the windshield cracking clearly appears to be from a right side severe impact to the engine body.
