We get that you WANT this to be about gays.Nope. Those cracks were made when the train turned on its side which kicked up rocks and debris hitting the glass as it slid to a stop. If you notice there are pieces of shrubs stuck under the windshield wipers.
He does not even remember the accident, but at the time, he told another employee. I feel the you are going to get hammered on this and will not have the guts to admit you were wrong.
By the way, he doesn't have to "bring it up." It actually happened and was verified.
^^^^^ LOOK! SEE!!! Use your own eyes, Steve.
*Note that the object struck the drivers-side of the windshield -- this undoubtedly affected his vision, because of the drivers verifiable "gayness."

Amtrak train may have been struck by something, conductor tells NTSB
By Melissa Gray, CNN
(CNN)One of three conductors aboard the Amtrak train that derailed in Philadelphia this week told investigators she heard the locomotive's engineer say the train had been struck by an object, National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt said Friday.
The assistant conductor said she overheard radio transmissions made Tuesday by Amtrak engineer Brandon Bostian and the engineer of a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) train.
"She recalled that the SEPTA engineer had reported to the train dispatcher that he had either been hit by a rock or shot at, and the SEPTA engineer said that he had a broken windshield, and he placed his train into emergency stop," Sumwalt said. "She also believed that she heard (the Amtrak) engineer say something about his train being struck by something."
Bostian was interviewed Friday afternoon for the first time since the derailment of Amtrak Northeast Regional Train 188. Eight people were killed and more than 200 were injured.
While he was "extremely cooperative," he had "no recollection" of anything that happened once the train passed the North Philadelphia station, about 3 miles from the crash site, Sumwalt said. Bostian suffered a concussion, among other injuries.
The locomotive's windshield was shattered in the derailment. But Sumwalt said there is "particular damage" to the lower portion of the windshield that the FBI will examine. He described it as a "circular pattern that emanates out just a bit."
"We're very interested in this report. We want to learn more about it so we will use all sources of information that we can to independently validate that," Sumwalt said....
