In the report, I recall that the alerter was nearly at the end of its quiet interval, and was scheduled to sound something like 7 seconds after the time of impact.  So the timing of the circumstance was relatively unfavorable by allowing almost the maximum quite cycle ahead of the point where the engineer’s action was called for.  It is just a matter of chance, but a different position of the alerter cycle in relation to the crash might have prevented the crash.   It will be interesting to see how much time transpired between the last alerter reset and the time of impact in the Goodwell, Oklahoma collision.  One would expect a relatively long time interval.  What would the NTSB conclude if the alterter was reset 5-10 seconds before impact?
