Our media what will do with them? Idiots. They are carrying on like this guy is a raving angry lunatic about railroad safety. He has a passion about. THey picked up a couple of his postings , totally out of context, and are running em everywhere. This dialog:
It shouldnt take an act of Congress to get industry to adopt common-sense safety systems on their own, is totally out of context. He posted it in response to the 2008 collision of a commuter and freight train in Los Angeles Chatsworth neighborhood.
He is on a train forum. He loves trains. A train wwreck that killed 25. He was discussing it with coolegues, a totally understandable activity as it relates to his career.
They like this one to :
I am convinced that a late 1920s-era cab signal system (with speed enforcement, which admittedly is a newer technology thats only about fifty or sixty years old) would have either completely prevented the Chatsworth disaster or, worst case, would have resulted in a slow-speed impact.
Proceeding:
At any point over the previous EIGHTY years the railroad could have voluntarily implemented some form of this technology on the line where the fateful wreck took place. But instead, it took an act of Congress to get them to do it, a post reads.
again, all in one forum, in a dialog, about a specfic incident that took place. THey pull em and make it sounds like he has an agenda etc. He was discussing a wreck, at one point in time, in his life, three posts -give me a break media.................
Agin totally out of context. He was discussing it - much like we all do here. Ha - if some of our posts wre just "taken" out of the blue, with no notion of what thread were on, ha we could be on CNN as raving lunatics! Thats funny guys
but you get my drift!
He then engaged in a couple of posts complaining about work - well my goodness how rare! He was always talking about trains....there is nothing IMO, ominious here, where he was at the place to risk killing himself and others, he was moaning about work big deal!
