Of late, in the last couple of major rail accidents, I have noticed that ministers/Railway Board officials pronounce their opinions on the cause of the accident even before commencement the official enquiry by ACRS/CRS. They conveniently blame the guard or the driver who has been killed to absolve themselves of responsibility for organizational failures. Blaming dead people is an easy way out becoz neither can dead men contradict what has been stated nor can they be punished. Chak de India.
