>Positive Train Control
- “It’s required as part of our agreement with the federal government,”
- “It provides a level of security over and above the engineer,”
- “If they miss an indication they need to slow down, they’ll get a warning,” he said. “If they ignore the warning, the system will override them. It would be within a matter of seconds.”
Under a congressional mandate approved in 2008, positive train control must be implemented on an estimated 63,000 miles of track by the end of this year.
The technology has been installed in two-thirds of locations and along more than 70 percent of tracks, according to the company.
> How it works
Positive train control relies on satellite-based technology and an onboard computer that provides track data to the train locomotive. The system tracks a train’s location, speed and direction.
The system alerts the engineer to excessive speed or unsafe track conditions. If the crew fails to respond to warnings, the system automatically applies the brakes to bring the train to a controlled stop.

oooo :\
Trains always speed here in Washington State tho...
>the system will override them
Why would they hoon the train during its inaugural run though? Or was somebody having a seizure?
saw on the news earlier the train did not have the system installed yet.
It was mandated in 2008 and during that time 70% of the tracks had them installed. 100% of the trains have the system already. Hacking the train itself ovverrides the engineer's ability to slow it down no matter if that part of the track was upgraded or not. The media and Amtrak is trying to obfuscvate it by not mentioning the difference. Huge difference that they conveniently left out.
The engineer can die and the train can still be remotely controlled by a hacker.
Well, I heard from someone connected to one of the state reps last night that they already recovered plenty of camera footage and such to review. So if we don't get a good explanation then that would be a big fat red flag.
Israel has been using their hacks as a warning.

After the collision of the USS John S McCain and a Liberian-flagged tanker near Singapore on Monday, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson ordered an operation pause while the U.S. Navy investigates the cause, including any possible cyber attack ...the warship experienced “a steering failure” as it approached the Strait of Malacca and that caused it to collide with the commercial oil tanker. “The official said it was unclear why the crew couldn’t use the ship’s backup steering system to maintain control.”
Humphreys’ name may be familiar because he has long warned that a critical vulnerability in GPS could be exploited to hijack ships and UAVs.
There won't be a good explanation. Only hacking the train's computer system would allow it to hit 80mph. Amtrak's system relies on satellite GPS which is being hacked successfully.
Amtrak Cascades rolls out new locomotives. It was a new locomotive on an old track.

So does it make sense that the track would also be sabotaged to draw attention away from the hacking of the train's speed control? There's been a bit of activism in the area against the coal trains etc.
>the madman actually;y fucking did it
doesn't make sense to me. Israel DID hack the election, though.
I KNEW IT

you fail at this.

>implying the shekel used wasn't loaned to Antifa at 66.6% interest.

You are doing this all wrong.
First you blame the commies, then the jews, blaming them directly just look ill intended, hating the commies is fair game.
evidence plz
bump
The lack of evidence indicates something is amiss. Imagine the public reaction if word go out...
in other words none. sage all bait threads
What is Stuxnet..
A virus designed to ramp up VFDs to out of control speeds while disabling an safety shunts.
This is not the first train that ran away due to Stuxnet.
>666
Why do you hate trains so much?
bump
No they don't, there's still plenty of Locomotives that do not have PTC equipment installed. Very few places have PTC in service, it was not in service on the BNSF Lakeview Sub (Point Defiance Bypass), where this derailment occured.

“the real goal of an Israeli attack [against the nuclear facilities in Iran], would be to drag us into war,”
"testimony from NSA and CIA operatives who worked together with Israeli colleagues – from the 8200 Military Intelligence Unit and Mossad – to develop several versions of a deadly virus that penetrated computers at the uranium enrichment facility at Natanz in Iran."
“But the main partner was Israel,” the film says. “And in Israel the Mossad ran the show. 8200 provided technical help. Israel was the key to the whole story.”

Train that derailed was a new locomotive which contained GPS satellite. The track it was on was old. Do not conflate the two.
>The track it was on was old.
The route was old
The track was new
