Problem was brandon bostian, and the problem remains his changing story. In a interview with investigators, three days after the crash, bostian says, quote, the last memory i have is approaching and passing the platforms in north philadelphia. But six months later, in a second interview, bostian says a couple of prominent scenes have now come back to him. And remembers accelerating and then realizing a mistake applying the brakes. It was too late. Amtrak train 188 was traveling at more than twice the post dollars speed limit, when it hit a sharp curve at frankford junction, northbound, out of 30th street station. The train left the tracks and landed in a mangled heep killing eight passengers and injuring 200 others. Bob hewett was among those injured. I broke over 20 ribs. I think it was 27 rib fractures in all. Couple of small spinal fractures. Hip fracture, my entire head was split open. When we spoke to hewett back in november he was unaware of bostians second interview and improved memory. How can you just not remember . How can you drive a train at 106 miles an hour and not know what you are doing . Bostians admission that he accelerated the train seems to suggest, as some have theorized, he was simply tragically unaware every his location heading for sharp curve. But the lawyer who represents hue set seizing on the difference frost bostians first interview to his second. We believe that his inconsistent story speaks volumes about him and his credibility and livability at trial. That of course is civil trial. No guarantee bostian would testify. The ntsb reminds us that no conclusions have been reached as to the cause of the crash. The material released today is simply the raw material and will help them reach that conclusion, likely to be announced sometime this spring. Iaian . All right, bruce, thank you.
