Turns out distraction looks like a factor in that horrible train crash in Spain. The Independent reports that
The driver of a train that derailed last week, killing 79 people, was
on the phone and reading a document as he travelled at 95mph (153kph)
before the crash, a court was told.Francisco Jose Garzon de Amo was allegedly… answering a call from the state rail company, Renfe, and
consulting a paper document at the time. The driver is charged with
negligent homicide.
I know I go on about this, but it's really important.
