Body cameras for everyone!

Queers lied, people died.

Yep, the Breaking System worked just fine....

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.

[SMARTY]

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?

[Rebel_Ace]

"“...Investigators are in the process of correlating the time stamps in the engineer’s 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.

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.

“no anomalies”

Only anomaly was in the engineers seat...He needs to be charged with negligent homocide

[onedoug]

Q...Why were you going 106 MPH?

A...I'm Queer.

Q...Oh, OK, then never mind, we have no further questions. Sorry to have troubled you.

[MortMan]

Investigators looking into last month’s deadly Amtrak derailment have found “no anomalies” in the tracks, signals or breaking systems of train #188...

BREAKING system? What happened to the editors?

[i_robot73]

Is it the 2nd ‘magic bullet’ incident?

[camle]

guy was probably sleeping, and woke up just in time to hit the brakes when he realized he was gong that fast
