Metro-North train that derailed was going 82 mph on a 30 mph curve before it derailed: officials
Locomotive engineer William Rockefeller didn’t hit the brakes until five seconds before the crash, said Earl Weener of the National Transportation Safety Board. Tony Bottalico, general chairman of the Association of Commuter Rail Employees, came to the defense of engineer William Rockefeller, noting he ‘has an impeccable work record.’ Investigators hope to learn more from two of the vehicles black boxes, which have since been retrieved.Crews worked Monday to clear the crushed train and restore service following the derailment Sunday in the Bronx.
The Metro-North train that skidded off the tracks, killing four passengers and injuring 75 more, was travelling at insane 82 mph when it hit a treacherous Bronx curve, the feds said Monday.
The train was travelling 52 miles faster than the 30 mph speed limit at the sharp turn just north of the Spuyten Duyvill station.
And locomotive engineer William Rockefeller didn’t hit the brakes until five seconds before the crash, said Earl Weener of the National Transportation Safety Board.
Rockefeller had taken his hand off the throttle a second earlier — around the time to train was leaving the tracks — and by then it was “very late in the game,” Weener said.
Investigators have recovered the 45-year-old engineer’s cell phone and plan to grill him later about the deadly wreck.
Paul Walker's father Paul Walker Sr. could barely keep himself together today in L.A., claiming the entire Walker family has been struggling to cope with the actor's sudden death.
Paul addressed the media outside his home, saying he's never experienced anything like this in his life. "It's hard ... every now and then I'll really break down."
And the rest of the Walker family isn't any better -- Paul's dad says the actor's 15-year-old daughter Meadow has been taking it really hard, but thankfully ... she's surrounded by family and friends who love her.
The whole video is pretty emotional and hard to watch, but it's worth it in the end -- Paul's dad tells everyone how Paul would want to be remembered ... and it's a beautiful image.
Tamar Braxton was one of the R&B divas who put on a stellar performance at the 2013 Soul Train Awards last night (Dec. 1).
The singer started out her set sitting on a swing covered in vines as she sang her hit song ‘Love and War.’ She wasn’t going to stay immobile for the whole performance, however. Braxton was helped off her seat by men in black suits to perform ‘The One’ before handling the stage by herself to finish with ‘All the Way Home.’
This appearance at the awards show helps close out what has been a great year for entertainer. ‘Love and War,’ her sophomore album, debuted at No. 2 in September and was met with positive reviews from critics. In addition, she tearfully expressed her surprise as she accepted the Best Female R&B/Soul Artist award during the Soul Train Awards.
Braxton also dropped ‘Winter Wonderland,’ her Christmas album, on Nov. 11.
The theme of the 2013 Soul Train Awards was "bringing back the '90s." VIBE correspondent Milan Carter caught up with celebrities on the Soul Train red carpet at Las Vegas' Orleans Hotel. Carter asked the likes of Ashanti and Tyrese to Charli Baltimore and Ruben Studdard what their favorite 90's dance moves and movies were. Charli Baltimore and Tyrese confessed they were fans of Juice and Menace II Society, while artists like Sevyn Streeter and Jon B. gave VIBE a taste of their favorite dance moves. The 2013 Soul Train Awards, hosted by Anthony Anderson, airs Dec. 1 at 8P/7C on BET and CentricTV.com.
