telephone cord around an accelerator control known as the asinistine valve, stepped out of the train to remove the bypass switch and forgot to remove the cord, so the train barreled past four stops with 50 passengers on board. >> we are confident this is an isolated incident where a single individual appears to have made multiple errors. >> reporter: thanks to quick thinking here those errors didn't lead to disaster, but they might get vazquez fired. >> in any way restricting the movement of the valve would, in fact, be a prohibited act that would subject the operator to termination. >> reporter: now because of this t officials say they will now require two operators to be present before the driver tries to do them sort of bypass -- any sort of bypass maneuvers like what vazquez was trying to do and are also reminding their operators never to tamper with any of these safety controls. live in south boston tonight,
