Right now I am going with the Occam's Razor explanation - human error. The engineer fcked up. Happens to people with a lot more experience than he had.* Why would a sane and motivated engineer take a train into a turn at more than twice the allowed speed? At this point we can only guess - and guesstimate. I think there is something else going on - an anti-train '"knockout game" of some sort. Something that our formerly free press decided we have no need to know. To me it is interesting that the reports about the (allegedly) routine attacks against trains were allowed to die - and very quickly. Let's see what else comes out.
