He'd be dead now, anyway

CNN has the story of the dead train engineer who was driving that passenger train in Los Angeles; seems he was texting on the job:
The National Transportation Safety Board is looking into claims that the engineer, 46-year-old Robert Sanchez, was sending text messages to two teenagers on Friday when his commuter train slammed into a Union Pacific freight train in Chatsworth, killing two dozen people, including himself.
Investigators subpoenaed the phone records of the engineer and determined that he "had sent and received text messages on the day of the accident, including some while he was on duty," according to an NTSB statement Wednesday.
The agency has said it also has been in contact with the two teenagers who told a local television station they were exchanging text messages with the engineer just before the crash occurred.
Rico says hmmm, forty-six years old, single, plays with puppies, texts with teenagers... Guy's better off dead.
