"The next thing he recalls is being thrown around, coming to, finding his
bag, getting his cell phone and dialing 911," Brandon Bostian's lawyer
told ABC News.
.
Within hours of the deadly derailment of Amtrak train 188 in Philadelphia
on Tuesday night, the engineer at its helm had changed his Facebook
profile photo to a plain black rectangle.
.
Brandon Bostian's friends seemed to know of his role in the crash, which
killed eight people and sent hundreds more to hospitals, even before his
name publicly surfaced. They rallied to his side on Facebook.
.
"It could have been any one of us and you are not alone," one Facebook
friend who identified himself as an Amtrak engineer in California said,
the Associated Press reported.
.
In an interview with ABC's Nightline on Wednesday night, Bostian's lawyer
Robert Goggin said Bostian "has absolutely no recollection of the
incident."
.
Goggin said that Bostian recalls operating the controls, but doesnt
remember what happened when the speeding train slammed into a curve and
jumped off the tracks, injuring more than 200 people.
.
"The next thing he recalls is being thrown around, coming to, finding his
bag, getting his cell phone and dialing 911," Goggin told the news
program.
.
Bostian, 32, suffered a concussion and required 14 staples in his head, as
well as several stitches in his leg, Goggin said. Bostian was released
from the hospital and interviewed by police Wednesday.

Bostian lives in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, according to
social media profiles, public records, friends and neighbors.
.
A friend who knows him in New York City told MSNBC that Bostian is a
"cheerful guy" and a rail buff. The acquaintance, who did not want to be
identified, said he last saw Bostian two weeks ago and talked about trains
with him.
.
He added that Bostian loves his job. "We didn't meet because of trains,
but bonded because we both are fans. The notion that he made it, so to
speak, driving trains is of no surprise to me," he said.
.
The young engineer got a job with Amtrak right out of college, according
to his LinkedIn profile, first working as a conductor and then an engineer
for a total of nine years with Amtrak.
