Rich Davey, president of the MTA, said there is nothing to suggest the
crash was equipment-related and are investigating any human factors that
could have caused it.

“The equipment was working as intended,” he said of the switches and
signals.

“Obviously, two trains should not be bumping into one another,” he said.
“We are going to get to the bottom of that.”

Really. There is zero way it was human error.

Evidently, the disabled train pulled out of the station as the express
train was being merged back to the local track. You can't make this
stuff up.

MTA management are liers and a touch bigoted.

The NTSB doesn't want to commit on a cause just yet, but cautioned to
not prematurely cast blame on the train crew.

"We'll look at that as part of the investigation, but I would urge
people to be cautious about just blaming, especially, you know, blaming
the train crew, we don't know. We'll look at what actions were taken,"
said NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy.

NTSB officials said that human error is a "symptom of a system that
needs to be redesigned," and said that's why they look broadly at all
factors.

How does one NOT have a mechanizal failure when the training seemly had
to run a closed switch... one of them had to!

They think we are so stupid. Here is the problem, they didn't have any
SOP for communications between the trains because everyone is driving
blind with equiptment. The detoured passanger train should had NEVER
moved past the switch when moving back onto the main rail without first
having visual and vocal communicaiton with the disabled train already on
that track!! Two people who are talking to each other and can see each
other won't HIT each other 100% of the time.

They just ran blind because the MTA singaly and managment told them to!

This was 100% MTA equiptment failure and a failure of MANAGMENT. It
doesn't need more technology or a 100 million dollar investigation.

There is one other devastating aspect of this as well. The entire
incident was created by a HOMELESS PERSON wrecking havoc on the train.
They shouldn't be ON THE DAMN TRAINS.
