Per KCAL 9, a group of teen train junkies, had made friends with the Metro engineer. They often video’d and talked to the engineer, even having his cell number. At 4:20 one of the teens recieved a text message from the engineer giving him an update on the trains schedule. The kid sent a short text back. The crash happened at 4:22.

It will be an extremely pitiful moment in history, if it's proven that texting by the conductor, led to his inattention and negligence, resulting in the collision and subsequent loss of life and limb. Whoever texted the conductor ought to have a restless night of sleep. I have to get some sleep now.
