I was reading that with a sense of dread, but it's a Japanese railway so this incident didn't need a derailed train and hundreds of deaths before anyone cared.

Why the gently caress didn't they have a second qualified driver on board?

This seems like a systems failure. What if the driver had dropped dead of a massive heart attack? Maybe the conductor has just enough training to bring the train to a siding or whatever, but he didn’t use that training because it would have inconvenience people or something.

If he'd had an accident (of the brown sort) at the controls he would probably have been hosed anyway.

If Phoenix Wright taught me anything about Japan, it’s that the driver and conductor could have simply not confessed and they would have gotten away with it.

Trains have dead man's switches. If the driver dies, the train will brake. They give no fucks if you piss or poo poo yourself however. It's not profitable. Source, I was a mailman in a rural part with no public toilets, I pissed myself once or twice. Jack-Off Lantern fucked around with this message at 11:22 on May 25, 2021 |

shame on an IGA posted:Some armymans posted a tiktok of themselves loving around on the range with akimbo machine guns and the commanding general of Training Command commented on it. Unless they're on a tradoc installation, nothing is going to happen besides a policy letter. And that doesn't look like the kind of range you'd find in tradoc, because there'd be drill sergeants walking around and the shooter would probably be a drill sergeant if it happened at a boot camp. Cameras off, army goons, all tiktok does is incriminate idiots for mopping and buffing floors at battalion at a later date.

I thought so too, but that was under the turmp times and he never succeeded at banning tiktok like he wanted. I'm sure it was quietly reversed around February. When I was in 15 years ago, digital cameras were literally everywhere. So many 2MP pictures taken. And really lovely, small resolution video files.

The driver may face some internal punishment now, but he'd also be facing it if he hit the e-stop to take a poo poo - might as well risk it and hope no one snitches. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amagasaki_derailment

I don't know about the train in question but generally there's attention systems where you need to push a button/lever at random intervals and there's dead man switches in the seat or wherever. The dead man switches often have a grace period presumably for driver relief during emergency bathroom breaks if nothing else. But also you can operate an attention system in your sleep and do a dead man switch mambo with your conductor just like you can slip a quarter into the contacts of an industrial hold to run button.
