Thomas Gallagher
Authorities say the engineer of the New Jersey Transit commuter train that crashed into the Hoboken Terminal last week hit the emergency brake less than a second before the train slammed into the bumpers at the end of the line. They say the train was travelling 21 miles an hour, more than twice the speed permitted and in fact it seemed to be accelerating. The engineer, Thomas Gallagher, claimed he was travelling ten miles an hour entering the station and fully aware of circumstances.. But the stunning revelations from the sole functioning black box on the train suggest no one was paying attention. Do they have his iphone?
