The Amtrak engineer involved in a crash Tuesday evening that killed at least seven near Philadelphia has no recollection of the crash and can offer investigators few details of the incident, his lawyer said.

Was a gay activist given preferential hiring and then “helped” though engineering training?

Was the crash on purpose? Was someone trying to make a “statement” like the German pilot who deliberately crashed his airplane into the Alps?

The train was going 106 mph on a section of track rated for 50 mph. This does not happen By ACCIDENT. There are a plethora of Amtrak safety equipment to avoid this that had to be deliberately ignored or bypassed.

Forced Diversity kills, again.

gays should never be left unattended in the cockpit

Perhaps he was distracted by texting or surfing the Internet on his phone. I don’t buy the “don’t remember” story. I read that one of the first things he did was lawyer up.

“The last thing I remember was watching some darned VIDEO on YOUTUBE”..

Early reports indicated that the engineer refused to give a statement to law enforcement. An NTSB official said the agency will give the man two days to recover from the shock

Maybe he just fell asleep.

Is there a pun intended in that post?

[Cyclone59]

I don’t either. I seem to remember hearing on the news that he was not cooperating with the investigation.

[Captain Peter Blood]

He can't remember but he immediately got an attorney and initially refused to answer any questions.

Something stinks big time.

What was it rated ?

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Gays should never be left unattended in the cockpit.

I wouldn't trust them in any position of responsibility, seeing as how they persist in doing what more than 95 percent of the population finds physically repugnant. (Yes, I got the joke, and chuckled!)

[McGruff]

He should just say, “Mistakes were made”. Seem like that’s a valid excuse for wrong doing lately.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

If the trauma were severe enough to knock him out, he wouldn’t have remembered it.

[JRandomFreeper]

Doesn't matter what happened. If cops are involved, I've got a lawyer on speed dial.

He WILL be involved from the very beginning.

There is no problem with having an attorney when being questioned by agents of the government.
