[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] We can armchair quarterback all we want, and frankly some of the NTSB reports approach armchair quarterbacking, something like some of the court decisions where they take hours to debate on whether a decision make is seconds was reasonable or not. However, yes it is possible to lose "situational awareness" in many situations, it is just when operating a train it is hard to significantly change speeds in a matter of seconds and impossible to change direction at all. In both NTSB reports and ICC reports before them their suggestions always seemed to be on the lines of "if only" they had had one more step in the laundry list of "lights, bells, and whistles" the accident could have been prevented. If it was a timetable and trainorder piece of railroad, then it should have had ABS. If it had ABS, then it should have had ATC, and on and on. I have no idea what they could charge this poor guy with. As Mr. N said, Mr. Bostian is effectively already doing life without parole. He is probably done when it comes to working in his profession. That is a sentence. [/QB][/QUOTE]
