Lessons Unlearned on Rail Safety

 

December 3, 2013

The New York Times

By THE EDITORIAL BOARD

 

When a Metro-North train jumped the tracks

in the Bronx on Sunday morning,

killing four people and injuring more than 70,

it was going 82 miles per hour,

on a 30 m.p.h. curve.

Why it hit that horrific speed

— whether because the engineer was sleeping,

distracted or incapacitated,

or because of some catastrophic mechanical failure —

is a question for the National Transportation Safety Board,

the Metropolitan Transportation Authority,

which runs Metro-North,

and criminal investigators and prosecutors.

Van Rolls Into Conn. Pond,

Killing 3

 

July 5, 2007

Filed at 10:06 a.m. ET

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

 

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP)

-- A 6-year-old boy was the lone survivor of a minivan

that rolled into a pond,

trapping him and three others for up to 25 minutes

 

[ conséquence, effet ],

before police divers were able to pull them out.

The boy was in critical condition Thursday.

 

The minivan's driver, Michelle McIntosh,

had gotten out of the van and chased it,

screaming for help

 

[ information supplémentaire / circonstancielle ],

 

as it rolled 60 or 70 yards down a steep hill

at a park near her home Wednesday, police said.

She jumped in the van

just before it went in the water, police said.

She and two other children,

including her son David, were killed,

police said.

''It's a real tragedy for a family in Bridgeport,''

Mayor John Fabrizi said.

'A day of sorrow for all Bridgeporters.''

The four victims were trapped

in 15 to 20 feet of water for 20 to 25 minutes

before members of the Bridgeport police scuba team

pulled them out.

Rescuers tried to revive them

before they were taken to hospitals,

where they died.

The chief medical examiner's office

identified McIntosh and her son

late Wednesday, but did not identify the other children.

Police said all three children were younger than 7.

The 6-year-old boy who survived

was in critical condition at Yale-New Haven Hospital,

hospital spokesman Mark D'Antonio said Thursday.

Fire Battalion Chief Ismael Pomales said McIntosh

apparently had gotten out of the van to ask directions

to a holiday barbecue,

but police would not confirm that Wednesday night.

He said people nearby

tried unsuccessfully to stop the van,

and that fire personnel were not able

to reach those trapped inside.

''It's horrible,'' Pomales said.

''We've had children die before.

That's probably one of the toughest things

for any rescue person to deal with.''

Blanch Arpie, a neighbor,

called the McIntoshes a close-knit family.

''It's breaking my heart,'' Arpie said.

It's just horrible.''

In a balanced, multi-party parliamentary democracy,

Ralph Nader would have been

a candidate for secular sainthood.

He forced consumer protection

- physical and financial -

on to the public agenda in the 1960s,

saving thousands of lives and billions of dollars.

 

[ conséquence, effet > sauvant ainsi... ]

 

He championed freedom of information laws

that declared that public records belong to the people,

not to those who compile them.

His focus on corporate kleptocracy led to reforms

- albeit temporary - in political campaign finance.
