Train crash: Driver's struggle with software 'led to collision'

So... What could possibly go wrong at 5mph in a train depo?...

That outage sounds expensive and very much like an all-too-typical "operator error".

That also highlights the importance of clear training (especially for that train) and for testing the driver's competence.

Yup, that's what it sounds like at first - just a parking lot shunt.

But have a read of the full 55-page Rail Accident Investigation Branch report - they've really thrown the kitchen sink at this one, with global implications. And no - it wasn't just operator error, whatever the BBC sub-editor thinks.

It's good to see that the RAIB, at least, is still doing its job properly.

"Our investigation found the installation... was a poor piece of engineering which had been in use for several years, and only luck had previously prevented an accident."

... Kresen made a number of calls to 911 asking for assistance and officers responded. However, his car was buried under so much snow, they couldn’t locate it. Making matters even worse was the fact that the serpentine belt was broken, meaning Kresen was trapped without heat.

In a miraculous turn of events, Cawley hit the windshield of Kresen’s car while digging to check on the mailboxes. He then freed the man after being trapped in his car for more than ten hours. Following the rescue, Kresen was taken to the hospital to be treated for hypothermia and frostbite.

... One of the teens was holding a mortar shell, which blew up his hands when another teen lit the explosive, WOAI reported. The other teenager “lost his fingers and possibly his eyesight,” KENS 5 reported.

...every single one was due to the driver- using the wrong pedal

The woman was driving with her friend through a patch of woods on private property Wednesday night when their vehicle crashed into a sinkhole filled with water, according to a release from the High Springs Fire Department.

... Hernandez admitted in the plea agreement he was curious on a night in September when he heard police vehicles driving down the street and a helicopter flying above his Hollywood home. In search of an answer, he launched a drone toward the police activity, authorities say.

An L.A. police helicopter pilot responding to the emergency spotted the drone and unsuccessfully tried to avoid it. The drone hit the fuselage of the helicopter, forcing an emergency landing.

... Hernandez could go to prison for up to a year. His sentencing is set for April.

At least 7 people were injured after a New York City accordion-style bus veered off the road and half of it dangled off an overpass.

A police spokesperson says the BX-35 bus driver was "unable to navigate the roadway and went off the road" near the Cross Bronx Expressway and University Avenue around 11 p.m. Thursday. No other vehicles were involved in the incident and no arrests have been made.

Six of the injured were bus passengers and the other was the driver and they were transported to the hospital with minor injuries, according to police and MTA spokesperson Tim Minton.

The FDNY later said there were nine people injured in total. It's unclear if the other two are also passengers.
