[The driver was asleep at the controls when
a commuter train barreled through the protective end bumper
of its stop at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport
earlier this week -- but two backup systems should have saved the train, the NTSB said.]

time as well, skipping a station." ref : FoxNewsHD Chicago


Driving a Train is a Mans Job

In no other train crash I've ever read about did it comment on the "male" driver.

Not quite sure what relevance her being female has to do with this story

Lots of train incidents (and car crashes, for that matter) occur because the driver has dozed off. And lots of them are male. Potentially more, at a guess, as "dozing off" when over-tired is actually a more male trait biologically speaking, to conserve energy for physical activity (hunting, fighting) whereas females tend to be able to stay awake more easily when tired, probably linked to being biologically geared towards caring for infants. Think of the stereotypical "man dozing off infront of the telly".

So yeah... Men are theoretically more prone to falling asleep at the wheel than women. Though I don't have any actual crash statistics to back that up.

My dad is constantly preaching the "never drive tired!" Message, as he fell asleep at the wheel on the way home from a nightshift many years ago. He ended up with a bashed up car being dragged out of a field by a farmers tractor... he wasn't hurt, but it could obviously have been much, much worse. Especially if he had strayed onto the wrong side of the road and hit another car.

lol at the fact they had to mention she was female

when how many of the past few train/bus accidents have been male drivers?

not saying its mens fault at all, but the cheek and idiocy to even mention the fact that she's female... jesus christ

It's not a mans job, since when did owning an appendage make it easier to operate machinery?

..the article doesn't refer to her as a 'female driver', just as 'she' in the way it would also refer to a male as 'he'..?....anyway, driving while tired and being responsible for other people's lives was just dumb and irresponsible, it could have meant a multiple loss of lives and devastation to many people/families...I think it's probably right that the repercussions for her are severe if she's due to be fired....

I know right? Maybe it's just because women crash trains so rarely Arista thought it was worth a mention :think:
