The Phila Inqr reported that the union "laid the blame for   
   their deaths on a change in corporate culture that began when   
   Joseph Boardman was appointed Amtrak chief executive in 2008.   
      
   "Boardman withdrew management's participation in a joint   
   safety committee, reduced training, fired experienced senior   
   executives, and intimidated middle managers and workers from   
   identifying hazards"

   Undoubtedly, some blames belongs to the tea-party in Congress,   
   who has demanded extensive cutbacks at Amtrak, safety risk or not.
