The engineer AND the spinning scribe and its editors are on break.
MUST CLEANSE NOW!
(I just finished lunch, now I'll go toss it...)
no more nagging images of either brucette jenner? or the toothy woman?
see... I knew it would work!!
Is it the 2nd ‘magic bullet’ incident?
guy was probably sleeping, and woke up just in time to hit the brakes when he realized he was gong that fast

OR...he was doing a “GermanWings” type of suicide attempt and chickened out at the last instant and tried to brake.
I've read other posts that those in-the-know say the easiest way to cause a derailment is to accelerate and then brake hard into a corner - causes the train to accordion and derail. I think he meant to crash, and didn't mean to survive the carnage.
My guess is that he was either pleasuring himself or photographing himself—maybe both—and that be the proximate cause of this multiple murder.
All this correlation with the event recorder, video, radio, surveillance, etc., is only relevant if his readily available text records show use very close to the time of the crash—and such use of course would be completely against protocol.
More Positive Train Control! More homo activist “locomotive attendants”!
In my little world of Point Of Sale software, our system warns a user if their local device is more than 5 minutes out of sync with their primay server, because errors under 5 minutes on hamburger receipts are not a deal breaker...
Also, as noted by Paladin2, input and reaction times on a train are quite different than small vehicles we would be used to in daily life...
But, if you are in charge of an investigation that could result in criminal charges, you are going to be as methodical and careful as you can, so that when you release your findings, there will be little to no doubt as to the events in the timeline. (at least you should be, you could be a prosecutor from Baltimore...)
Yeah, but cell phone clocks and texting records should be accurate, and certainly they should know very closely the time of the crash.
Again, they wouldn’t be futzing around with syncing everything else up carefully, if he didn’t have his cell in active use very close to the crash.
Now that makes sense.
Maybe his “boyfriend” was breaking up with him and he went on a suicidal rampage.
