There is a hell of a lot of invention being applied to the storytelling here. If the windshield of the train were hit by an RPG, then OK, I would expect some sort of in-cab reaction by the engineer.
If the train was going a nominal 50-60 mph, never mind 106 mph, then something impacting the front of the train or the side of the train or even the windshield of the train does not explain the sudden acceleration of the train going into the fatal curve. If you’ve ever been in a car on the freeway going 55+ mph and something falls off a vehicle in front of you...it happens so fast there is no time to react.
With the exceptional case of the projectile hitting the engineer, he falls over and pushes some sort of lever and gooses the train, this story stinks. That the train could accelerate from 75 mph to over 100 mph I find remarkable, but these electric train that are powered from a caternary are massively powerful.
If something came through the windshield the laws of physics prove that if a rock and the force of it would have either pushed him back into his seat, or knocked him off his seat to the side, not forward.
Was there any head injuries of any kind on his face, head, or neck.
Why isn’t the media saying that there are no injuries of any
Kind on his face, neck, back, or head.
Where is the medical report for this engineer ?
This sounds more like a scripted cover up.
His lawyer told him what to say.
This will not hold up under strong scrutiny.
