Posted by AlM on Sun Sep 14 10:40:51 2008, in response to Re: KTLA CONFIRMS: Re: Metrolink engineer texting with railfans, posted by Dutchrailnut on Sun Sep 14 10:26:33 2008. This guy killed 25 by violating rules, and railfans want him to rest in pease and put up shrines and you tube sites.It's still early. Any claims of recklessness, even if very likely to be true, aren't established facts yet. If (as seems likely) the NTSB eventually says the engineer caused the whole thing by operating while distracted, he's not going to be remembered fondly. Also, in all your other examples, the person didn't die. There is a tendency to feel more sorry for people who screw up and die themselves than for those who survive. |
