<p>[quote user="Euclid"]The larger point is the presumed need for the accident investigation to take one to two years.[/quote]</p> <p>I think that is an adequate time frame. The Amtrak Chester accident took 1.5 years. Amtrak 501 is not the only accident NTSB is investigating in rail industry. Their website shows reports on 8 accidents in 2017, 11 in 2016 and 12 in 2015.</p> <p>[quote user="Euclid"]Ironically, the NTSB’s message of teaching lessons that need to be learned from accidents is being stepped on by their delay in delivering the message. [/quote]</p> <p>That might be but with limited personnel you can only do so much.</p> <p>We are having the same problem in Germany. It is a known fact here that the investigating agency understaffed but the politicians won't increase the budget.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
