Surely that is an exaggeration - assuming you are talking about train
drivers.

There was one recent major incident ... ummm a year or so [?] back.
What others have there been ? I don't recall reports of that one
incident refering to other texting by train drivers at all, never mind
resulting in fatalities.

It was the Metrolink crash in Los Angeles. One too many.
