Brandon Bostian, crashed Amtrak train's engineer, reportedly ranted about safety: 'I wish the railroads had been more proactive'
BY KELDY ORTIZ , DAREH GREGORIAN
The engineer who was behind the controls of an Amtrak train that derailed going around a curve at 100 mph is a lifelong train buff who's written online about the need for better rail safety, it was reported Thursday.
Brandon Bostian, writing on website Trainorders.com, criticized railroads for not installing "positive train control" systems to prevent crashes, the New York Times reported.
"At any point over the previous EIGHTY years the railroad could have voluntarily implemented some form of this technology," Bostian wrote in 2011, according to the Times. "I wish the railroads had been more proactive in adopting active signaling systems from the get-go."

No just a Tweet I received. Must be a press conference going on.
Copy. Thanks.
Have not heard that Bostian is claiming that the engines sped up on their own such as software being compromised. That may not even be possible.
I uppose that there is a hand throttle with a dead-man switch in case the engine operator is incapacitated.
He used them as an example of bad sin.
However they were not the WORST sin.
The WORST sin was to refuse God’s spirit of loving redemption.
Have you done this?
You sound like Satan quoting scripture to Jesus to me. Bye.
That is a curious claim on his part, but it surely will be duly investigated. If he really believed it, he might be reticent to ask that trains go under even more software control, at least not until the bugs are thoroughly worked out.
But again it could be phony and maybe in an angry liberal tiff he just leaned on the throttle. If throttle position is recorded by the event recorder, it would expose his game. Those rednecks who built the trains might be smarter than he is after all. (There are engineers and then there are ENGINEERS)
Would Satan ever invite you to believe in Jesus Christ for your eternal life? Ever?
You sound like a blame throwing fallen unredeemed man.
Yes, Satan will. It is written. Have you not read it?
Oh now you are getting cute?
You are a religion freak. A Christian? Different question. You look like you haven’t come within light years of the heart of Christ.
Christ EXCUSES no sin... Christ FORGIVES all sin, except the sin you never come to Him to have forgiven.
To add on, Satan wants to make you think he is the Christ. I hope that makes sense to you.
Why of course, but that doesn’t make the actual Christ to be Satan (though he is a stumbling block to many who refuse to believe on Him).
The hallmark of Christ is redeeming love. Excusing no sin. Forgiving all sins.
Fallen men keep on wanting to believe they can merit their way to heaven through religiosity, often proving their bona fides through whom they blame. Their “God” has “damn” as His middle name. They are thoroughly wrong.
At the least I hope you would heed Proverbs which warns against rushing to judgment.
You are losing it. That is to be expected of false Christ believers. Just the way it is.
All I did was lose my doomed, fallen life in Christ’s.
You are displaying the hallmarks of blame and damnation.
Stick up for the gays and bother me no more.
Christ stuck up for all sinners to redeem them (if they will only accept) at the Cross.
I am sorry you don’t like that.
So many people have made “the gays” into a shibboleth of the worst evil possible. That is suspect on THEIR motives.
They are dramatic sinners, but they are not the WORST sinners. Those who go off on jags about them are often like the Pharisees, whom Jesus thoroughly rebuked. Get your heart right, then you can talk about the heart of your neighbor.
No Satan follower, I am not ashamed of that.
Those are your words. They mean nothing.
Collateral damage.
