An Amtrak train crashed here last Friday. No one was killed, a few were injured but a security camera caught the collision on tape. Yikes that train stopped quick!

They are very lucky the engineer was not moving at the normal limit of 79MPH.

Do you think the engineer filed a flight plan??

Nope and I am sure he did not have flight following form the C90 Tracon either.

But had he had a BRS he maybe would have been able to slow down and prevent the crash
