    I know it's the nature of the beast, but when they report: "It's too early to know why the train was going so fast," I'm thinking to myself--"Just ask the train operator. What did he say? It only takes a few seconds."

        This engineer trained for six months on this train and track. The speed is posted at 30 MPH 2 miles out and 1/4 mile out from the curve. This was an historic run. Maiden voyage. Distracted? Lie. Just like the operator in Hoboken who had sleep apnea & dead man switch failed?

        THAT is one of the greatest frustration (aside from bias) in following the "news". The simplest, most basic questions seem either not to be asked or not be answered. It sometimes takes years for a basic truth/fact to get out.

        You’re throwing the shoe in the machinery when you apply logic and the 24/7 4th Estate. The speculation spectrum must be seen first and the truth will have its day once the pundits and theorists have exhausted their wares.

        u need to investigate the instrumentation and mechanics of the train, just like cae accidents, humans lie. Also Antifa claimed to pour concrete on the track

        If the latter is true there is a huge problem looming on the horizon. Quite honestly my first thought was something on the track. Maiden voyage yes? Usually everyone is on there best behavior.

        Titanic hit an iceberg because they were trying to set a speed record on the maiden voyage. I think history is rhyming here.

        Takes longer to filter answer through his union, his lawyer, his supervisor, all the pols behind funding Amtrak etc.

        There's also the ANTIFA "concrete theory" which the MSM doesn't want to mention. Not surprising though very interesting and telling . (FAKENEWS....by ommision ?)

        I suspect they are saying it's too early to let the public know why the train was going so fast.

        Clearly we "simpletons" don't know how to get to truth of anything. Just ask FBI.. then have em tell us "It's classified" as to why asking question of eng., "U have any idea why the train was going 2 fast?" U know better than anybody Sharyl. Somebody has to cover somebodies ass.
