He has lawyered up and is refusing to talk to police.

Another case like the airliner pilot that dove the plane into the ground?

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Amtrak train that ran off the rails in Philadelphia, killing at least seven people, was hurtling at about 107 mph moments before it entered a curve where the speed limit was just 50 mph, an Associated Press analysis of surveillance video indicates.

The engineer at the controls refused to give a statement to authorities Wednesday and left a police precinct with a lawyer, police said.

More than 200 people were injured in the derailment that plunged screaming passengers into darkness and chaos Tuesday night.


Amtrak, ahhhh...yes....another taxpayer funded boondoggle. 2 Billion Dollars a year in Taxpayer subsidies, millions and millions handed out in Taxpayer funded pensions, something like 16 unions making sure the "employees" have zero accountability, a board of directors that are simply political hacks with zero railroad experience, a welfare entitlement program and not really a railroad.

Other than that.....what could go wrong.....


And as mentioned they own very little or none of the rails they run on. Now how much does that save them?
