A rock crushed my windshield, directly in front of my face, while I was driving on a major freeway. It was a terrifying experience and I am grateful that I did not lose control of the car. There was glass everywhere and I was covered in shards. I could not see out of driver's side of the window but did manage to see well enough on the passenger's side to pull the car to a safe area.

If an object shattered the window of the train, it could have easily seriously distracted the engineer.

I will be curious to see what comes out in the investigation.

Your experience was vastly more terrifying than anything the engineer encountered prior to the derailing. Why the hell didn’t YOU immediately double your speed?

i had a similar experience on my driver sdie window and nothing actually hit me. same effect. If he was hit in the head. he could have been semi-conscious.

I caught a big chunk of ice while passing a tractor trailer truck on I-95. Probably 16” diameter and a few inches thick. Hit the windshield flat right in the center. Scary. About 1/4 of the windshield was smashed but nothing penetrated, fortunately.
