"planning a trip....in the near future" WTF? Why isn't he there NOW? Piece of work is right. Disgusting.

Also, he thinks there was tampering but doesn't think it was malicious. Well, that's just a round-about way of blaming the fire department (the Nantes fire department). At the press conference earlier the press asked a question (I'm not sure who was taking the questions - I turned it on late...) paraphrasing - "Has there ever been a time, ever, where a fire department was assigned responsibility for a train at any point in time?" The question was dodged. Unreal. The fire department is rightfully livid at this accusation.

Also the comment, "We have to settle this quickly so people can move on." How about finding the missing first? Jesus.
