Re: $182 million Metro-North settlement

And that was brought out in the investigation? It gets physics technical here. There is a second or two time lag between the application of the emergency brakes v.s time of brake engagement and the distance traveled during that time lag based on train speed. Factor in the coefficient of friction on the wet rails ,& weight of the train and all that would determine the energy of the collision.
This apparently was all worked out resulting in the clearing of the engineer.
Get all that Mr. Baumann??
