While it was quickly approaching a curve with 50mph speed limit. I heard the emergency brakes were applied right before the crash. That makes me wonder if the machine developed a mechanical problem and that was a last effort to slow it down before entering the curve. I don't know anything about trains, but am very curious to hear the final details. I mean if it's just one man operating it it would seem to me he would've had his hands full.. maybe to full to turn around and call out a ''Houston, we have a problem.'' I don't know what to say as what really happened until it all comes out.
