They had a comuter train run a red light in Boston a couple of months ago. Slammed into a railroad crew fixing something on the line. Couple of people killed, include the train operator. Huge outcry for the female operator ... how good she was, how everybody loved her, etc. A week later a report said she sent a text message to one of her friends about 15 seconds before the crash.

Three weeks later, a picture on the front page of the newspaper showed an operator with two kids about 6 years old sitting in his lap as the train was moving. That guy got dropped kicked into unemployment at the speed of light.

Lets see ... which is worse ... people on drugs, people with cell phones ... or maybe its just plain stupidity. I wish people could be arrested for stupidity.
