There are photos of him in the latest Daily Mail report, and he is named.

Nothing about his being gay, but he certainly looks that way.

It says the train was going 106 MPH and then he threw on the full power emergency brake. Sure sounds like he hadn’t been paying attention.

How does the Daily Mail do it? Their coverage of an American story has everything but the kitchen sink. They're amazing.

He not only looks like a sodomite but his actions prove so.

Bostian is gay and was quoted in a 2012 story by The Midtown Gazette about the fight for gay marriage in New York. He said he moved to New York from San Francisco and had been active in the Proposition 8 fight. “It’s kind of insulting to have to beg people for my right to marry,” he told the newspaper. “I feel like we shouldn’t even have to have this fight.”

Yes, there is; from the Daily Mail article at your link:

"Bostian is a gay-rights activist who previously lived in San Francisco before moving to New York. In 2012, he was interviewed by the Midtown Gazette, which covers parts of Manhattan, during the campaign for marriage equality. He said: 'It’s kind of insulting to have to beg people for my right to marry. I feel like we shouldn’t even have to have this fight.'

That was my take when the NTSB issued the preliminary timeline. Why so fast? Why so slow to hit the brakes?

While that could involve a host of things as distractions, I am hoping someone got samples for toxicology from the driver in a reasonable amount of time (before some of the faster-moving metabolites might have cleared out of his system).
