Not fair bursting the bubbles of those convinced there can be no more accidents, just terrorist attacks.

15:32 PDT (AP) -- Blakey said the freight train rolled through the signal at 48 mph, hitting the commuter train, which was stopped at the crossing. Investigators found no problems with railroad signals, equipment or the tracks, she said.

The freight train began braking about 2,100 feet before the crash, and had slowed to 20 mph at impact. The Metrolink engineer saw the other engine coming and ordered the commuter train to stop, Blakey said.
