The engineer, they say, made an error in controlling the train.
-
Before leaving the locomotive, he intended to apply the independent brakes.
-
And then by the time he realized his mistake,
-
the train was going too fast for him to climb back on.
-
We're being told now by a spokesperson for the Public Utilities Commission
-
that this employee will be held accountable.
-
Connie?
-
Headquarters is on the phone. lt's Galvin.
-
Mr. Galvin, how are you?
-
God damn it. How could this happen?
-
lt's an unfortunate combination of human error and bad luck.
