<p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">The NTSB says they can’t rule out fatigue. But from a technical analysis viewpoint, their conclusions do rule out fatigue as contributing to the crash. They say they have proof that the engineer made control changes at each signal as though the signal were clear. So obviously he was not sleeping. And then they found the explanation that he could not see the signals well enough to interpret them, so that is the cause. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Therefore, when they say they can’t rule out fatigue, I interpret that to mean that they cannot prove that the engineer was not tired. That seems incredibly subjective and irrelevant, and only seems to give more evidence that the NTSB is promoting a sleep disorder agenda.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">They are also promoting a PTC agenda in their incredible indictment of the U.P. and railroad industry as a whole for causing the crash because of not having PTC in place at the crash site. They could just as well conclude that U.P. is at fault for running the train that day. </span></p>
