ntsb report on Tracy Morgan crash

Well compared to the last couple of blown up posts about this wreck--YOUR post is the first that actually states FACTS--backed up with EVIDENCE.....

 

I don't know but, does NTSB investigate all traffic accidents when a death is involved? Or just trucks? Or just when celebrities are involved??? Or just accidents in general….????

 

Except this one, posted one day ago:

 

Well thanks to this single solitary Wal-Mart driver the proposed revision of the 34-hour restart rule has been tabled.

I really did not expect them to change it anyway.

 

LOL--I stand corrected---but after the last couple of threads BLEW UP w/all the conjecture--finger pointing etc--I think you get my drift--LOL

 

not reading the link that was posted. it was already announced on the radio earlier this week. he was doing 65 in a 45 zone. because he was tired.

ntsb was brought into the investigation becuase it's a high profile crash.

what i haven't heard yet. is why he was awake for 24 hours prior.

 

It appears to me the driver was trying to beat the 14 hour clock, which is a much bigger problem then the restart rules anyway.

Hopefully this accident brings that elephant in the room to the public spotlight. I can see this drivers argument being the unstoppable clock compelled him to push on to his last stop instead of taking a nap at his previous stop. -- No excuse, but a reason.

No shipper, receiver, or dispatcher has pushed me around as much as the 14 hour clock has.

And that james hoffa is a real piece of work.

For a high profile industry insider to make a BS statement that leaves a layman to believe the driver was working 24 hours should be criminal.

And didn't the driver just come off a restart?
