[QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [QB] Some 22 hours after the incident, the death toll still is being reported variously as "at least two" and "five confirmed." This is curious, but there may be a good reason for it -- and for Amtrak's refusal to give a fatality count. I understand that normally in an event like this there is an incident commander who delegates a spokesman to deal with the media and that all questions must go to that spokesman. But in this case a fire chief, a state trooper and a generic "law enforcement authority" have been quoted, all giving different death counts. This makes me wonder if law enforcement in that part of Nevada hasn't quite got its incident act together in the press relations department. (No evidence, however, that the incident response otherwise wasn't rapid and professional.) It could be that the scene inside the burned cars is so grim that an accurate count hsn't been possible.
