I was reading this today: Commuter train engineer didn't apply brakes in fatal crash - CNN.com

Does anyone else see something wrong here??? The train crash was caused because the driver of the commuter train was text messaging??? WTH??? Seems this horrific tragedy is centered around text messaging. I say lets change the focus just a little bit and ask "WHY WERE THEY EVEN ON THE SAME TRACK?" It states in the article that one was going 40 and the other was at 42 mph and each had about 4-5 seconds to slam on the brakes. Does anyone actually think that in 4-5 seconds they could get stopped before the crash? Whatever happened to communication? Maybe he was texting and missed a red light or something a mile or two back while he was texting, however, they didn't mention that. They are focused on the seconds before the crash. This world would be alot different place if I ran it!
