[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doodlebug: [QB] Two points: Smitty is correct about the chain of errors cause for the crash. Rail and commercial air transportation entities have procedures that are based on redundancy and multiple checks so that operational safety is as protected from individual mistakes as possible. So assuming the reports that Metrolink ran a stop signal are correct, more than one person made a mistake. Second, the Metrolink spokeswoman who said the accident was caused by Metrolink's training running a stop signal has resigned. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/bottleneck/2008/09/breaking-news-l.html As a former journalist now involved in media relations, I sympathize with her plight.
