I am very sorry. I hope his breaks can fully heal and that he will be walking again soonest. Did he sustain any other injuries?
I felt sick to my stomach this morning to hear that this was all due to human error. We all can make mistakes on the job, but this one was unforgivable.

There’s an angel in the 12th one.
The E.R. contact seemed to think he was going to be okay. Like I said, he was awake and talking to his parents. I’m not in contact, so I don’t know if he had other injuries. If so, they must have been manageable.
I agree this was a major mistake. What a sad situation...
For all we know, the engineer may have had some medical problem too prior to the accident though.
Thanks for your concern.
