Nobody was trained... that sounds kind of odd to me, but again I am only familiar with one PTC system and that’s the one being rolled out now.
I haven’t looked at the train side of the system, but if it really IS set up so that PTC needs the engineer’s permission to work, then I would wonder what’s the point.
Agreed.
How come other trains and instances of this one have been just fine?
Why are they not talking about the ENGINEER? something sounds very strange that they are not reporting on his condition. Just watching a TV broadcast and one lady said she was praying it was a medical condition and nothing more?
I would think they know by know if he was deceased or if there was something more?
Do you think they had cameras in his cabin? I would think so. Hopefully we get answers.
