AMTRAK UPDATE:
HELLO UK & US READERS, had to hop on real quick to update you on that SC accident. Amtrak says the incident could have been avoided. Once again it remains a mystery why this train was not updated or equipped with a PTC DEVISE. I thought after the major crash in 2011, all trains needed to have one. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/04/us/amtrak-south-cCarolinacrash/index.html
If you aren’t familiar with the term PTC; It’s a set of monitors and computers that could aid in keeping crashes from happening.
Officials are still wondering how the brake(switch) was turned to manually. CNN reports speed is also a factor in the collision that killed two and injured over a 100 people.
