Its a sad thing that happened.
But...The kid driving broke the law. Plain and simple.
But sumpter's right..The news report makes it sound like its all Amtrak's fault. I'm sure the families of the victims already have lawyers lined up waiting to sue. They might of had a case, if there wasn't a video showing them speeding through or two witnesses.
For once..I'd like to see a railroad sue the for damge to the loco caused when they broke the law, and went through a guarded crossing.
Especially, when there's already video showing they did.
