California Scapegoats Engineer in Train Crash

This may be a completely factual account and I normally wouldn't cover something like this; however, it so reminded me of Ivins, Oswald, and all the other "dead loners" they pin crap on.

Remember
Carter Hartwig, readers?

You know the old saying: "Dead men tell no tales."

This guy won't be defending himself against the charges.


"Calif. bans engineer cell use; Operator texted before collision" by Daisy Nguyen , Associated Press | September 19, 2008

LOS ANGELES - The National Transportation Safety Board requested the cellphone records of engineer Robert Sanchez after two teenage train buffs said they exchanged text messages with him shortly before the crash in the San Fernando Valley community of Chatsworth.

An NTSB statement issued Wednesday night did not say how many messages were found in the records or if any texting occurred shortly before the crash.

Isn't the NTSB the ones who lied about TWA 800?

Sanchez's cellphone was not found in the severely crushed and burned wreckage, but the teens told KCBS-TV last week that they received a text message from the engineer at 4:22 p.m. - a minute before the collision.

Ummm, who are these kids that claim this? WTF? No names?

The NTSB has determined Sanchez did not apply the brakes before the collision and ran a red light that could have prevented it. The agency said the tracks and signals were working properly and that human error was to blame.

Which means no lawsuits against the city or further investigation.

Another case closed, just like the anthrax cover-up.

Investigators are looking into Sanchez's work schedule. He was working an 11 1/2-hour split shift at the time of the crash. He began his shift at 6 a.m., took a nap during a 3 1/2-hour break, and resumed duty at 2 p.m., about 2 1/2 hours before the crash, the NTSB said.

--more--"

I'm sorry, readers. I'm just not believing the MSM anymore about anything.

That's what happens when you lie about everything, MSM!!!!
