losing consciousness in the crash. sanjay gupta, our chief medical correspondent. i want to read to you what the attorney had to say about his memory. he does not remember pulling the emergency break. we know it was inl fact deployed. the next thing he remembers is getting his back andcology calling 911. so, is is it possible for him to remember all of that but not the derailment and how it happened? it is possible. and of course weir rer going by what his lawyer said there but there s post traumatic amnessau. you think of it as forgetting things in the past but there s also ant rograde amnessau.
was driving the train and that was brandon bostian. and that acceleration happened that s right up to 65 seconds before up to right before they left the tracks when he applied the emergency break. i m going to speak to oo member of ntsb but what does this mean about brandon bostian posting about safety. he was in a job that he absolutely loved. he was a train enthusiast all the way back to high school when he wrote about it. and he was blogging about the safety of trains. and after an accident that involved an engineer that was texting while driving a train, he was writing about the exact safety control system that we re talking about sadly in this accident. he said in any point over the
32-year-old brandon bostian slammed on the emergency break. he was allegedly doing double the posted speed limit when the engine and seven passenger car flew off the tracks killing seven and injuring more than 200 others. darryl griffith, a dean, gym gai gaines, rachel jacobs was a chief executive of a small tech company in philadelphia. justin zemser a 20-year-old navy academy midshipman was on his way home. he was a high school val valedictorian and was finishing his second year. he was a loving son, nephew and husband. this tragedy has touched us in the worst way.
at triple digit speed when it was supposed to be going slow. the ntsb 106 miles per hour in a 50 mile-per-hour zone. we also learned tonight for the first time the emergency break brakes were used fully as the train hit top speed at 106 heading into the curve, hurdling away from downtown philly. the six whole seconds after the emergency brakes were hit, the train only slowed to 102. still twice as fast as allowed here. then there is news about the absence of a technology called positive train control or ppc which is designed to slow or stop trains that are going too fast into curves like this and which is going to be mandatory by the end of this year but was not in place at this curve to save train 188 and the seven souls we know of who perished inside cabin filled with a mix of professionals, tourists and students heading home from break which you would expect to see on this new york to philly line. we have seen several trucks
ending is certainly worth it. yeah, meet banjo, a poodle mix fortunate to be alive. somebody tied banjo to a train track in california last week and left him there to die. but that didn t happen. the engineer of the on coming train saw the suspect walking away from the track. he hit the emergency break and rescued the dog from the tracks. good ending. banjo is safe, and he is doing good at the animal services. officials say they have had more than 200 calls who wanted to give banjo a new home. they narrowed the list down and hope the adopt a dog sometime next week. if you are wondering what happened to the man that tied banjo down, he was arrested but the police later arrested the 78-year-old who they say he seemed confused and senile.
