[quote user="Euclid"]Regarding the investigation process and its application to the 188 wreck, I am interested in the actual cause, and if the probable cause is probable enough, then I am satisfied with the investigation. [/quote] In my opinion you'll only find an actual cause when you are able to nail an accident to a mechanical/technical failure. Everything else will lead to propable causes. [quote user="Euclid"]To me, blaming Bostian’s memory mistake on being disturbed by hearing a radio transmission seems like just a handy peg to hang your hat on.[/quote] I think they didn't find evidence for other reasons for the engineer's loss of situational awareness. And it gives a starting point for recommandations. [quote user="Euclid"]It also seems like a beneficial excuse intentionally given to Bostian by the NTSB. [/quote] As NTSB final reports are not allowed in court because of the judgements, what would it help? Regards, Volker Edit: Here is a link to the NTSB's document docket regarding the Amtrak #188 accident. It contains 174 documents. Perhaps there is the information you look for. <a href="https://dms.ntsb.gov/pubdms/search/hitlist.cfm?docketID=58167&CFID=2147484&CFTOKEN=be7d3eb9bc4ce19c-AE646811-0D0A-FB8D-6F54920BFB267E75">https://dms.ntsb.gov/pubdms/search/hitlist.cfm?docketID=58167&CFID=2147484&CFTOKEN=be7d3eb9bc4ce19c-AE646811-0D0A-FB8D-6F54920BFB267E75</a>
