The attorney for the engineer who was at the controls when an Amtrak train crashed in Philadelphia says his client has no recollection of a crash that killed at least seven people.
Attorney Robert Goggin says Brandon Bostian remembers attempting to reduce speed as the train entered a curve before he was knocked out and sustained a concussion.
Goggin says Bostian told him the last thing he recalls is coming to, looking for his bag, retrieving his cellphone and calling 911 for help.
The lawyer says his client's memory could likely return as the head injury subsides.

So does he remember why he was going so fast before the crash?
That’s what my lawyer will say, too. “Tax-chick has no recollection of the events ...”
I want to see his toxicology results.
And if he was drunk or high, he might disappear for a few days until he would test negative.
Drugged out?
Ah, the old Hillary defence!
This story is going to change constantly over the next few days until they find a narrative that blames someone else.
Who’s his lawyer, David Kendall?
NBC News — “According to his attorney, Bostian suffered a concussion and required 14 staples in his head as well as several stitches in his leg. Bostian was released from the hospital and interviewed by police Wednesday.”
Ask my lawyer.
Post incident drug tests are done as quickly as possible after the event.

They've already found it. It's Bush's fault for not having that section of track upgraded for 100+ mph operation.
If you ask me it was white privilege.
NTSB board member Robert Sumwalt, stressing he was working with preliminary information, said the train was traveling at 106 mph as it entered a sharp curve where the speed limit was 50 mph. The engineer he said, launched a “full emergency brake application” a few seconds before the train derailed 11 minutes after leaving the Philadelphia station, crumpling cars and throwing around many of the 243 aboard.
So the train got up to 106mph in only 11 minutes? Sounds more like a malfunction no?
The docs released him, but the lawyer did a better exam?
Dont think so. It is a coverup of his negligence.
Texting?
Asleep?
Drugged?
or all of them.
He did, however, have the presence of mind to immediately call a lawyer.
They are working on it...if the funding was there, the safety speed control system would have been in place...just write them a bigger check and the problem goes away.
They taught us well, the Clintons. I don’t remember is perjury; I don’t recollect/to the best of my recollection is legal lying.
