And there lies the problem. The train crew has much more to worry about than having to deal with drones buzzing their cab. On May 12, 2015, an Amtrak Northeast Regional train from Washington, D.C. bound for New York City derailed and wrecked on the Northeast Corridor in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The National Transportation Safety Board ruled that the derailment was caused by the train's engineer (driver) becoming distracted by other radio transmissions and losing situational awareness,
It seems that there has become a competition to get more and more daring video. When will they cross the line and cause a real problem by distracting a train crew at the wrong moment?
