Investigating whether a unknown object hit the windshield right before the crash. And now the Engineer claims he has no memory of the crash. Something smells in this investigation, to me. And a brick to the windshield ain't gonna cause the train to speed up and crash! http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/05/16/ntsb-examining-damage-on-derailed-amtrak-train/

If somebody was throwing rocks or bricks at the train, in Philly, odds are it was a Obama supporter

This whole deal smells like a cover-up.

Are they saying the rock caused the train to accelerate by 55 mph?

Someone hacked into the train and sped it up Yeah, that was my first thought, too. There's been a LOT of talk about infrastructure vulnerabilities in the past several years, and this kinda smells like it. Even the pansy engineer is unlikely to have a death wish, and running a train around a curve at 106 is admittedly dangerous.

The engineer has ALWAYS said he had no memory of the crash. What if a brick (or any object) coming through the windshield hit him and he fell forward or backwards while on the throttle? It doesn't take much to move it. [/i][i]

If you can screw around with a centrifuge at an Iranian nuclear facility, you sure can mess with a state of the art Siemens locomotive. I think our great Govt is covering this up and deflecting towards the windshield. Stuxnet virus
