NTSB

The National Transportation Safety Board says the engineer of the speeding train that derailed last year, killing eight people, was distracted by radio transmissions, a source told NPR.

A U.S. Navy search crew located the cargo ship, which went down a month ago during Hurricane Joaquin with 33 people aboard, using sonar equipment.

An investigation found no evidence that the engineer was distracted by calls or texts ahead of the May 12 accident in which eight people died and some 200 others were injured.
