<p>[quote user="Euclid"]Multiple news sources are stating that as fact based on the NTSB report, and the subsequent BNSF interview with Andy Williams who has now confirmed that the cause is flood related, a fact that was not included in the NTSB preliminary report. Mr. Williams wouldn’t say whether the train engineer knew or should have known about washed-out tracks mentioned in a preliminary NTSB report.[/quote]</p> <p>Can you provide links to your sources, please? As dpeltier said the NTSB primary report only states facts, all conclusions by others regarding causes are still assumptions, even when based on the report.</p> <p>[quote user="Euclid"]So apparently Rule 6.21 did not apply due to the water not being high enough to meet the definition of “high water,” as the rule requires.[/quote]</p> <p>How do you come to this conclusion? That BNSF apperently didn't apply doesn't mean their assessment was correct. We should wait for the NTSB final report.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
