Inquiry Into Amtrak Derailment Is Slowed by a Maze of Cellphone Data
The way data is stored has made tracking the phone use of the engineer in last month’s derailment in Philadelphia more complicated than investigators expected.There is a time series on the phone.
There are known relative times at the switches that time stamped the traffic.
Correcting the time stamps to the phones local time is a task a computer does easily.
Times and kinds of interaction with the phone should be obvious.
This can all be done with copies of the files in question.
The committee is grandstanding with the wrong witness.
