The place where the accident occurred has a speed reduction from 80 mph to 50 mph due to the curve at Frankford Junction. The clown that was driving the train was moving at 106 mph through the 80 mph zone, and he hit the 50 mph zone at 102 mph.

FYI. According to the NTSB, the train was traveling at 70mph until one mile before the turn and then accelerated to 107mph going into the turn when the emergency braking was applied. This was information that was released late yesterday.

this could have been done remotely, like what was done to that journalist whose Mercedes ran into a pole at 100+ mph and killed him.
