Railfan father on LA radio show (Re: Metrolink engineer texting...) |

Posted by Easy on Tue Sep 16 22:08:21 2008, in response to Metrolink engineer texting with railfans, posted by Dutchrailnut on Sat Sep 13 20:43:55 2008. So the father of the railfan texter Nick was on the John and Ken radio show and came across as a little clueless. His theory was that information seemed to be leaning towards texting NOT causing the accident and that it looks like it was a medical condition. When the hosts asks how he came to that conclusion he said that if there was evidence that the engineer texted on a regular basis (with no accidents) that would rule out texting being the cause and would (somehow) indicate that the engineer had a medical condition. A very large leap in logic IMO.Reading between the lines I gather that his son and his friends must have frequently texted Robert Sanchez. He also indicated that his son and friends (all 15-16) would regularly ride the trains around LA shooting videos and taking pictures. They met Sanchez one day at Union Station. Even though they were always in a group I think that 15 is too young for suburban kids to be tooling around LA, but that's a different story and they aren't my kids. |
