: Des Moines Personal Injury LawyerCommuter Safety - Is text messaging dangerous?
By Steve Lombardi
The news is not good from California. Investigators are testing the premise the cause of the commuter rail collision that killed 25 people were a text messaging engineer. Please tell us you're wrong.
Technology is good. Technology is bad. I remember teaching a religion class at the same time Jeffrey Dahmer's crimes were being discovered. I told my class that too much of anything is bad.
In this case texting technology has become such a common cause of operator distraction it confounds the mind. For a complete report see Was Engineer in Crash Text Messaging? from Amy Taxin of AP. Amy's work can be explored at Sulekha.com.
