TRAIN DRIVER WAS ON
PHONE DURING CRASH
Investigators announced Tuesday that a train operator in
Spain was on the phone while driving, ultimately accelerating
way above the speed limit and derailing the train. Seventy-nine
people were killed. The investigation of the train’s black boxes
revealed the driver, Francisco Jose Garzon Amo, had gotten a
call from a national rail company official about his approach to
his final stop. The train reached 119 mph and he hit the brakes
just moments before the crash. He has been provisionally
charged with multiple counts of negligent homicide.

More than a year after ABC beat NBC
in the morning show rating wars,
ABC’s World News With Diane Sawyer
surpassed NBC Nightly News with Brian
Williams in the 25-54 age category for a
week — the first time it has done so since
November 2008. World News has not
been able to beat Nightly News in terms
of total viewers for a sustained period of
time, but it has been inching ever closer.
