Human Error?
I know this hardly qualifies as breaking news anymore, but…
| At least 25 people were killed in the head-on crash of a commuter train and a freight train near Los Angeles that officials on Saturday attributed to the failure of the passenger train engineer to stop at a red light.
The crash, which occurred in the Los Angeles suburb of Chatsworth, was the worst U.S. rail tragedy since 1999. […] “At this moment we must acknowledge that it was a Metrolink engineer that made the error that caused yesterday’s accident,” Denise Tyrrell, a spokeswoman for the train line, said at a news conference. She said the engineer, who was not identified, worked for a subcontractor used by Metrolink. He was believed to have died in the crash. |
Maybe it was human error.
Or human sleepiness.
Or human health malfunction.
Or suicide.
Or homicide.
Or terrorism.
Childless — Just Like That
As we knew it would, time continues on. Late this afternoon (11-15-05) will be two weeks since the five Schrock children were killed in an auto wreck in Washington State.

Late this afternoon will be two weeks since this happened:
Pronounced dead at the scene were Carmen Joy Schrock, 12; Jana Louise Schrock, 10; Corina Jean Schrock, 8; Jerrill Burdiette Schrock, 5, and Creig Allen Schrock, 2.
In the course of the subsequent week, I sent out four reports to email subscribers of The Roth Report.
