<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last summer, during the thread, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Is Amtrak Crash Nevada’s Fault?</span>, I had some communications with Nevada DOT, and I was told that they were committed to public communication on the accident regardless of the legal ramifications.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After I sent them my analysis showing a total warning for the truck driver of 2.9 seconds, they did not answer any further communications from me.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">My point in that thread was that 70 mph speed limit, combined with such a heavy truck, resulted in a crossing with insufficient warning time.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">The engineer of the Amtrak train involved in the collision agrees with my conclusion, and he has publicly said so.</span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
