Of Lines and Curves.

According to an NTSB spokesperson from a story provided by the Washington Post , the Amtrak train that derailed on May 12 "may have been struck by an object prior to the derailment." The FBI has been brought on board to investigate.

I don't know. Perhaps I'm completely off base here, but I would have thought that trying to determine how it was that a train came to speed up prior to entering a curve which it would not be able to negotiate would have made for a more pressing study in physics for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
