He was clearly on the phone or texting when this happened. I don’t know why they’re trying to protect him.
The engineer in that horrible crash in Spain (at Santiago de Compostela, where some 80 people were killed) last year was also on the phone when he took the curve about twice as fast as it should have been taken. He walked away, of course, just like this guy - minor injuries, and nobody could find him immediately after the crash. His first words were the Spanish equivalent “ooops, I screwed up,” which I’m sure is what our dear Brian said.
But since Brian is evidently a big gay activist, I guess it will never be his fault.

“correlating the time stamps” takes about 5 hours, not
5 weeks ... except if there is a queer coverup attempt.

It doesn’t seem to be THAT difficult to know if the engineer was on his cell a the time of the crash.
Why would it take so long to determine something that simple?
They know the time of the crash, and the cell records must not be that hard to get... what’s the hold up?

"...Investigators are in the process of correlating the time stamps in the engineers cell phone records with multiple data sources including the locomotive event recorder, the locomotive outward facing video, recorded radio communications, and surveillance video, the NTSB said Tuesday..."
A few folks here have made light of how long this should actually take, but keep in mind, the time-stamping for all these disparate systems are not synchronized to some national standard, and these investigators pretty much want to pin down the timeline to less than a second in terms of accuracy. Plus, if they are going to use this as evidence to prosecute the engineer, they will have to provide solid backing for how they arrived at the conclusion that he was texting at 00:00:01.96 seconds prior to the impact.

Some guy on the radio who is also an engineer called in and said it is common for some of these “yahoos” to speed, even around turns.

Why don’t they just put: It fell off the track, nothing to see here, move on. Not terrorism. Go back to watching americanidiot and the carcrashyions.

The report I heard was that he actually, intentionally ramped up the speed going into the turn.
Sounds to me like a suicide from an already admittedly mentally unstable individual.

I agree that comparing times from different clocks can be nontrivial, but given the necessary lead times here ~15 sec to brake from 100 to 60, they should have a darned good idea of whether this noncisengineer was distracting himself or not.

Investigators looking into last months deadly Amtrak derailment have found no anomalies in the tracks, signals or breaking systems of train #188... BREAKING system? What happened to the editors?
