Oh, agreed about the collision. The software error is listed in the report, and NTSB says Metrorail assumed that rollback protection was available on all cars, when in fact it ws not.The operator was at fault in this case, of course. As soon as he realized he wasn't getting the appropriate response from his controller he should have "hit the mushroom." (activated Brakes-In-Emergency) |
