Just scroll down to the end of each report... Probable Cause The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the February 21, 2004, accident was the failure of the engineer of AMLKS-18 to stop as directed by wayside signal because he was asleep, which was induced by his lack of sleep prior to the accident and his marijuana use. Contributing to the cause of the accident was the failure of the AMLKS-18 conductor to oversee the safe operation of the train because he was also asleep. Adopted: October 31, 2006 You need more than two people in control of the train. Far better would be one engineer supervising an automatic operation of the train. Even if the engineer fell asleep, all that would happen is that the train would eventually stop at a red aspect. ROAR |
