They can cure double chin with botox, but you still can run your train into things. Jim
I hear over 50 years ago they came up with a Dead Man's Switch, look at all the money they save by not using it!

He certainly might. I am sure you read that he drove straight into the station without slowing - signs of being asleep at the controls.ChicagoGranny wrote:Does Thomas Gallagher Have Sleep Apnea?

My guess is that 90+ percent of people with a double chin have sleep apnea before the age of 40.Guest wrote:and they prob do

Two people apparently do not READ before they start a new thread.

Re: Does Thomas Gallagher Have Sleep Apnea?
Note that a similar crash in December 2013 in Bronx, NY - only fifteen miles from this one - was also caused by Sleep Apnea.
So this begs the questions. Should all train operators be screened? Who else should be screened? What kind of follow-up is needed? How is non-CPAP treatment monitored?
