The posts criticize a lack of safeguards to protect against human error, pointing out how fatigue, bad communication and cutting corners could lead to crashes. When others were skeptical of new safety technology, or dismissed the idea that an experienced engineer could make a simple mistake, he was often quick to comment to the contrary.

Some groups are now beyond criticism. Fortunately for him, he belongs to one.

Gee, it sounds like he almost knew he would have to crash his train some day. Seriously though, listening to this guy and the NYT, I am increasingly convinced that Democrats, en masse, have no conscience. He was asleep AND it’s all the Republicans fault. Talk about old, worn out excuses.

Any guesses what the headline might have been if the guy was found to be a Tea Party Conservative? Anyone.

Just when I think the New York Times couldn’t disgust me more.....!

Isn’t that the kindest, dearest, sweetest little old headline you’ve ever seen? This precious little misfit loved his trains and fresh air. toot, toot! And little junior was “distraught” when him went bump, and now him can’t remember....
That mean ole train ran away with little boy blue and those wascally Wepublicans caused it.
Except for the main character in this death spiral, the media is the next sickest example of cognitive reality ever.
Everything is warm and fuzzy if you’re one of their social, cultural, religious, political perverts.

Whitewash begins. Really. That didn't take long. He's probably already talking with Hollywood executives to work out a movie deal to produce a film about his wonderful life and how the evil Republicans caused his little accident.
