Text Messaging Possibly Linked to Train Crash
A red signal was missed and a disaster ensued. There is a search for answers in the recent train crash in Los Angeles and there are suspicions of text messaging being a factor:
“Federal investigators plan to subpoena the cell phone records of the engineer who is said to have been exchanging text messages in the minutes before his commuter train ran through a red signal and smashed into a freight train Friday, killing 25 people.”

Other tragedies have been linked to text messaging. Any alleged text messages would have a time stamp which could be correlated to the train location. With a hundred and thirty five people injured, this is the worse American train disaster in fifteen years.
