Just like the engineer during the Chatsworth metrolink crash that killed 25 people, texting while driving, almost similar set of circumstances..the feds have the phone records thats why he lawyered up
To: grundle
how long does it take to get a train like that up to 106 mph? a mile, maybe 2?
can't believe there is nothing in place to slow that train down should the speed be that high...

Hey according to some loon on CNN, a “Warnings expert” he said that if they had the right technology in place human error wouldn’t be a factor here..Okie Dokie, then lets have driverless trains, and while we are at it, pilotless planes mind as well

I bet he didn’t let him take a blood draw while the amyl nitrate was still in his system, either.

I wonder what the speed limit was before the curve. Seems 106 mph is a little high. Here in the central valley of CA, I think I heard they were restricted to approx. 80 mph.

The coefficient of friction between the rail and the wheels determines the max attainable decel rate. About 0.3 g at best.

Read somewhere that the train should have started slowing down at least 3 miles from that curve.
