A Spanish court says "black box" data recorders show that a train
conductor was on the phone and traveling at 95 mph (153 kph), almost
twice the speed limit, when the vehicle derailed, killing 79 people.
In a statement, the court said Tuesday that the conductor was talking on the phone to an official of national rail company Renfe when the crash happened and apparently was consulting a paper document at the time.
The conductor, Francisco Jose Garzon Amo, has been provisionally charged with multiple counts of negligent homicide.
