We're not on site, we didn't witness the derailment and any image from ground level or above can't tell us how the derailment happened. Nor are we schooled in the investigation of transportation accidents. That's what the NTSB is for.
Might be time to close this thread...

Why? So people don't have a right to discuss when something like this occurs? The things we discuss on this board have 0 relevance to what goes on in the real world, a lawyer can't use what we say in court, it is basically a group of people discussing something that has happened. Of course we are speculating but then again, not one word of what we write on here has any meaning outside here. When the NTSB finishes its investigation we (hopefully) will learn what they think and that will be the official word on this, till then speculation is what it is, speculation, that has the weight of a billion dollars of bitcoin.
