Washington subway crash kills 9, dozens injured

"...one train was stopped waiting to get the order to pass. ... The next train came up behind it and, for reasons that we do not know, collided into the back of that train,"
How much do you want to bet the trailing train driver was either on her cell phone or texting? Because this is almost identical to the crash in Boston last year (maybe longer ago?) for the same reasons. Well, for that one they said that she wasn't on her cell at the exact moment of the crash, but she'd just ended a call. NOBODY should be operating ANYTHING while on a cell, imho!
