the mayor mike nutter, he apologized and said that the conductor was running was actually driving the train and then there was clarification actually the engineer. maybe you can talk to that relationship. >> as i understand it, and i would like to clarify a little further, but as i understand it, the engineer can be the person at the controls. they're the ones in that front cab, they have their hands on the throttle, the brakes, but the conductor is over all boss of the train, and my understanding is that ultimately the responsibility lies with the conductor to make sure that everything is operating properly. i'm not going to take that to the bank, but you know, this is a joint responsibility, and clearly the conductor is very important to interview as well. they have not done that yet either they'll want to interview every member that have train crew, and they'll want top interview all the passengers who they can gather information from. it's a comprehensive investigation. it could take a year before we get some kind of final determination although i will say if the ntsb learns anyth
