The train company, BNSF, said the rail line was inspected hours before a train derailed and took out a bridge over Interstate 25 near Pueblo.
"It’s possible to have inspected and missed it for a variety of technical reasons and I am sure that NTSB and BNSF are right now looking at all those possibilities," said Dr. Allan Zarembski, the director of theZarembski says it's also possible— but not probable— that something happened after the inspection, causing the rail to break.
If something did happen, Colorado Governor Jared Polis repeated NTSB's preliminary finding that it was not related to the bridge.
