And as he's talking he's probably saying stuff his lawyer watching on television is shrieking about and rending his hair over . . . . . like we've suspended our train engineer without pay, we think he was probably lying to us when he said he set 11 hand brakes (it probably wasn't that many), and he probably won't be coming back to work for us.
Meanwhile the Pres is also advancing the theory that local firefighters might have tampered with the engine, resulting in the train rolling away five minutes after they left the earlier fire. His company inspectors had only five minutes with the train and that was their conclusion. Not sure if that conflicts with the paragraph above though . . . .
Then he's agreeing that while the industry standard is to have only one engineer on duty, saying they find it focusses attention better than having two, the company will never do that again, that they'll have two going forward.
In the background, there's some angry yahoo across the street shrieking obscenities while he's doing this impromptu gathering. Some of the reporters are going ape on looking for revenge on behalf of the townfolk . . . . which really isn't their job frankly.
The President was actually very, very candid, far more so than you'd expect. Alarmingly honest and genuine.
Finally, the RCMP come in and forcibly bust the whole thing up, hustling the Pres away . . . . . . no doubt to interview him about his answers in the interview!!!
Kind of an astonishing session if you can find the full version. I enjoyed it!!!
