Here is the final NTSB report on the BNSF Iowa crash.  At the time I started last year’s first sleep disorder thread, the NTSB had only released their preliminary report.  The preliminary report said that sleep disorders were part of the cause.  This full report discusses that point in the conclusions.  They apparently conclude that both the engineer and conductor of the coal train had sleep disorders because they worked irregular hours.  Maybe I am missing something, but that conclusion seems like an incredible reach.  Not everybody who works irregular hours suffers from sleep disorders.  How does the NTSB know that the engineer had simply not gotten sufficient sleep during his sleep cycle prior to going on duty? The NTSB report also promotes the use of inward facing cameras that would have told them whether the engineer and conductor were sleeping. There are several stunning photos throughout the report that are high quality and vividly portray what happened.    <a href="http://www.ntsb.gov/doclib/reports/2012/RAR1202.pdf">http://www.ntsb.gov/doclib/reports/2012/RAR1202.pdf</a>
