How about someone on board the train brain beaned the engineer while he was looking forward blowing the train whistle, rendering him unconscious, set the throttle to the 8th notch, left the gay guy for dead, made his way to the rear of the train and is among the survivors. The engineer may have just had time after coming to to react by trying to slow the train down.
Other possibilities do indeed exist. Alright you all, playing “smear the queer” may be a ton of fun, but realistically you are assuming something you cannot possibly know for fact.
There's no attempt to "smear the gay guy." The various excuse scenarios being floated are preposterous. The six-sigma explanation is simple: a negligent engineer killed eight people and seriously injured hundreds of others.
The only people involved in ridiculous "explanations" are the usual suspects, like The New York Times.
BTW, my comment said nothing about "queers" as you referred to them.

Lets see, so far we have projectiles coming through the windshield, now we have terrorist on board sneaking up KO's the driver, jamming the throttle down then sneaking back to their seat.
Hmmm...If you're going to hijack a train on a suicide mission, why run back to your seat?
No evidence the engineer has so much as a scratch. No bump on the head in evidence. Overlooked, no doubt. If he had an injury we would have seen it in Technicolor. Not like Zimmerman who DID have an injury the. MSLSD tried to hide.
If the possible scenario actually unfolded a I put forward, the “perp” probably would not have expected to survive.
