The engineer’s car didn’t even tip over during this crash. If a brick came through the windshield and knocked him out, wouldn’t the brick still be sitting on the cab on the floor?
If a “kid” could throw a brick at a train going somewhere between 70-106 MPH (it was said that a minute before the derailment, the train was going 70 MPH) and hit the engineer in the head, he should be playing for the Philadelphia Phillies - not the Filadelphia Felons!
