Agency says SC train ride inspector faked report

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A state inspector falsified a safety report and never tested a children's train ride that crashed over the weekend, killing a boy and injuring dozens, officials said Monday.

Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation chief Catherine Templeton told reporters that Donnie Carrigan could not have tested the ride March 16 because a battery in the train was dead, making it inoperable. Carrigan marked the train's operation at proper speed as "satisfactory," according to the agency's report.

"Unfortunately the inspector did not complete his job," Templeton said.

Carrigan, a 20-year agency employee, has been fired. Officials have not said what they think caused the train to derail.

Benji Easler, 6, died in the wreck Saturday at Cleveland Park in Spartanburg in the northwestern part of the state during the train's first ride of the spring season. His parents and siblings were also injured.

Earlier Monday, hospital officials said the train's driver had been released from a hospital in Greer.

As soon as agency officials learned of the crash, Templeton said Carrigan came forward and admitted he had filed a complete report but had not done a thorough inspection.

"We are very sorry for the tragedy," Templeton said. "I don't have any reason to doubt this man's character."

Also at the news conference, Gov. Nikki Haley pledged her support for the crash investigation, which is being handled by the Spartanburg Public Safety Department and the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

Public Safety Capt. Art Littlejohn said authorities were still reviewing witness statements and 911 calls.

Conservatives need to make up your minds - you want more govt safety inspectors or less? Thi sis just a case of a bad one but conservatives would argue "buyer beware" let the govt have zero inspectors - you know like way the buses operate in libertarian limited govt Somalia.

You missed the point, you moron.

What happened, happened. WITH THE PRESENT NUMBER OF INSPECTORS.

So we need even more inspectors. And then when they fail, let's hire even more. And then pass some more laws. And then some more regulations.

More laws. More regulations. Then more laws. Then more regulations. More laws. More regulations. Then more laws. Then more regulations. More laws. More regulations. Then more laws. Then more regulations. More laws. More regulations. Then more laws. Then more regulations. More laws. More regulations. Then more laws. Then more regulations.

So we need more inspectors and better qualified ones (which means more tax money) but you are a right wing kook so you are using this to justify hating govt which will of course make you advocate for less govt and less taxes and thus less inspectors.

(which means more tax money)

Yeah, that's the ticket, dickweed.

Just keep printing more, and more, and more, and more, and more.

Here's a question, you drone: How much government is enough? When is it too big?

By the way, what do you think of your hero Obama now that he's gotten us into a third war in the Mid-East.

Oh yeah, I forgot. It's all good, since he's a dddddemocrat.

You stooge.

Why do you retard conservatives consider Obama our hero? Because we are not birthers? Obama is a creature of the Military Industrial Complex. And why print money, you prick? Just tax the rich who stole the money by investing in outsourcing which they backed and lied to Americans would create more jobs and prosperity. They lied about free trade and outsourcing and should be tax back as a refund to the 99% of the people.

Gut the military and wasteful programs and invest in infrastructure of high quality, NASA and such. And kill all capitalist pig programs like deregulation that caused the Wall Street gambling and kill off free trade.

If you'd pry your leftist liberal head out of Obama's ass, maybe people wouldn't think he's your hero.

Dork.

This dodge douche thinks what I wrote "is leftist" or "marxist".

It is actually Eisenhower Republicanism.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.

These douche-bags have been listening to idiots like Limbaugh and Hannity and Bech and others so long they don't know real Republicanism when they see it.

Luckily, most of these douches tend to be old and will die off soon being that most are obese diabetics - though I am afraid obamacare may keep them alive longer than usual.

You seem to be fixated on death and dying, you class envious, hypocritical statist.

No wonder you are so much in love with the war-mongering obama.

Too bad you couldn't have lived in the old USSR under Uncle Joe Stalin. Look! A classless society, all needs provided for (oh yeah!) and a statist despot running it to boot.

What could be better?

You ignorant jackoff.

You GOPigs are the social darwinists who want to old to die because you want to eliminate social security. I have as much regard for the rich as Jesus did - which is not much.

Buy a clue, dweeb. You're not Jesus.

And if you ever decide to get off your ass and find honest work, ask a poor person for a job.
