You could make a mistake tommorow anything from littering! e.g. you cannot be bothered to put your coke can in a bin so you throw it on the floor, then a old women slips on it and falls down some stairs. Should you be done for manslaugter?

Its not the same thing but blaming managers or companys gets you no-where.
There is a difference between an honest mistake/ unavoidable accident and negligence. As I recall, in this instance, the red light the commuter train went through was badly sited and hard to see. This was documented and had been reported to managers of several occasions but they did nothing about it. That makes this accident a negligent act by the management (not the driver) as they knew about it and if they had re-sited the red light i'm sure this terrible accident would have been avoided.
