AMTRAK TRAIN NO 188 CRASH, HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW?

Icheoku says once again humanity is called to indeed question our very existence on this planet earth, why are we really here? What use is life if it is this ephemeral and some people still live it as if they have control over it? Imagine people who bade their loved ones as well as colleagues goodbyes only to never make it to their destination or back to them and apparently due to  no fault of theirs. It marvels Icheoku and should every man and woman of reason, that our life here on earth is so temporary and could be over in such a splitting second, irrespective of how careful we think we are or how protective we think we are and how shielded from harm we arrogantly believe we are? 

Query:- what did the seven now confirmed dead passengers of the New York bound Amtrak Northeast Regional Train No 188 from Washington DC do to deserve or bring about their sudden exit from this earth, except to pay their fare and board a regular train as they and millions of other passengers normally do, but never to make it to their destination. The word "raptured" as found in the Biblical book of Revelation indeed came alive as it appertain to this seven now confirmed dead. The train derailed and crashed enroute to New York city somewhere near Philadelphia, with over two hundred passengers on board and a crew of five.

The train engineer, Brandon Bostian of Queens New York, luckily survived the crash and will greatly assist with the investigation and help throw more light into what caused the accident? Americans will like to know why the train under his control was going above one hundred miles per hour in a fifty mile per hour zone curvature track and whether other additional safety equipments like sound alarm and flashing lights to warn about excessive speed did not work or were simply ignored, assuming he was attentive and not distracted by either texting or phone conversation or even the presence of a physical person with him in the engine room. Recall that some years ago, a commuter plane crashed into buildings in upstate New York because of a distracted pilot who was making out with a female companion killing all on board. According to the NTSB official leading the investigation into the accident, Robert Sumwalt,  'onboard positive train control system which dictates and slows trains around curves could have prevented the accident', so it now begs the question  why did it not function as expected? May the souls of the departed now rest and may the investigation yield some positive results towards preventing future repeat occurrence.
