<p>[quote user="Overmod"]All the more, rather than less, reason to use precise terminology and actual descriptions of rules and operating practice in press statements. [/quote]</p> <p>If the media or the public are not able to understand the technically correct language what does it help?</p> <p>[quote user="Overmod"]I thought much of the coverage I have seen to be remarkably 'technically correct', including the NTSB 'leading' with the explanation of why their event-recorder data were correct even though the Charger seems to have left the rails very early in the 'event'.[/quote]</p> <p>I agree. That is one of the reason I asked for an explanation.</p> <p>[quote user="Overmod"] When inward-facing cameras cease to be about 'safety' and become about finding convenient violations for discipline, for example, or conversely when 'sleep apnea' becomes a widespread excuse for not addressing much more important reasons for functional fatigue or inattention.[/quote]</p> <p>I think you can't set up the NTSB for the misuse of inward facing cameras. That is something the railroads have to account for.</p> <p>Sleep apnea is one possible reason for fatigue. It seems easier to adress than changing the rail industry to avoid fatigue caused by long and irregular working hours.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
