According to the city district attorney’s office on Tuesday, the Amtrak engineer involved in a derailment that killed eight people and injured 200 others near Philadelphia won’t face criminal charges. Prosecutors said in a statement that they were unable to prove that engineer Brandon Bostian acted irresponsibly when he accelerated the train to 106 mph on a 50 mph curve, which was determined to be the cause of the crash.
