Apperently the Tribune thinks train operaters are called "engineers". I also counted no less than five other things in the article that are either completely wrong or misleading. For one thing, according to the other media reports there was only one person being trained. And how does the Tribune know that that person learned anything about what not to do when the cause has not been determined? It is truly amazing how often the media is so completely lazy in their reporting. And they wonder why readership is down.
