Posted by Jersey Mike on Wed May 13 08:55:26 2015, in response to Major Amtrak derailment in Philly, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue May 12 21:35:00 2015. Very interesting regarding the speed. Passenger MAS is set for passenger comfort, not just safety. Presumably the passengers would have noticed the G's before derailing.‘Suddenly We Were Crashing Over the Side’ Beth Davidz, who was riding in the third car, said the train seemed to be going at a normal speed moments before the crash. “We were on the turn. It felt very normal. And then suddenly we were crashing over on the side and there was blackness,” Ms. Davidz of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, told reporters. Ms. Davidz, who had a scratch on one side of her face and a reddish bruise underneath her left eye, said she had climbed out of the car after it overturned. |
