I am no physicist, but getting hit by a projectile would tend to slow an abject down, no? Not speed it up by 100%+.
There is no word yea or nay whether his reported concussion has a medical report consistent with his head having been struck by a small flying object.
Let’s not get SO focused on his warped love life that we forget terrorists’ hate life. It matters to do this investigation right and a bunch of irresponsible talk is going to distract just the same as it did in Zimmerman’s case. FR does get listened to.
depending n the size of the projectile I would imagine
thus far I dont believe that theres been any mention of the possible size of this so called projectile
a bullet or a Brick would certainly not slow down a train traveling at that speed..a boulder sized rock might depending on the point of impact
simply saying a projectile...may have hit the train isnt really saying much of anything
The trouble would come if it hit someone inside the train.
A few days ago when this all started hitting the news, I thought they had reported a DIFFERENT train getting hit by a projectile, close to this wreck.
I’d sure want to rule out “SNIPER”.
Yeah but the Philly Mayor was coming down pretty hard on the guy...
Train physics from a few years ago when a freight train got caught in a tornado. Being a freight train, I’m guessing it was going considerably slower than 100 mph.

I just looked at another almost identical article....and like the New York TImes.....it appeared on the website of another Leftist publication....
how very odd that is.....
Has anyone wondered if the “gay” factor could be a distraction in this situation. Maybe he’s acting like a wimp, but still.
Should we cover up for an Islamoterrorist or for a Gay? What to do? What to do?
OH OH you seem to have just hit the JACKPOT
the original MENTION of a projectal...was one that hit another train...run by some company other than amtrak
THANK YOU now to bump THAT article.
and connect the two threads.
It has everything to do with it. Stressful jobs involving the safety of large numbers of lives requires someone without emotional baggage. Think about it.
There was another grain hit before this derailment. The ‘witness’ could have been haring this in the ‘cafe car’ over CB?
that story NOW has BOTH TRAINS being hit by projectiles If Im reading this correctly
SEPTA, Amtrak trains hit by projectiles minutes before fatal crash
Read more at http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20150514_SEPTA_train_hit_by_projectile_before_Amtrak_crash.html#xLClMz0IDXK0cPzH.99
the INITIAL STORY did not mention the amtrak train being HIT...but that the SEPTA train had been moments before the AMTRAK crash.
something stinks
>>> And that other Amtrack employee hasn’t seen fit to report it to the authorities since Tuesday.
Correction: “that other Amtrack employee” should have been SEPTA employee. But the questions are still there.
Bingo. I just mentioned that below. Y’all beat me to my brainstorming. ;)

the FIRST mention of the word projectile.....did not mention the AMTRAK train being hit by said object
it said...that the SEPTA train had been hit moments before the AMTRAK crash
I find this odd inconsistency in reporting just a bit disturbing
BS. These are new engines and this one is about a year old and came with an "event recorder" that included an outward facing camera. Comments I've read on Trainorders are unclear as to whether it has an inward facing camera.
Amtrak ACS-64 #601 undergoing speed/acceleration test, Pueblo, Co., August 2013..
From 0 to 125 mph pulling loaded 8-car train in 2 1/2 minutes.
I didn't mention anything about gays on this thread. You seem to be the one who is "focused".
If you see posts of interest to Pennsylvanians, please ping me.
Thanks!
