To the second one. What they learned is that at the point of impact, the train was doing 80 Miles Per Hour around a curve. The speed limit there is 30 Miles Per Hour. More than double what they should have been doing. Another thing that might have been a factor. Theres no positive train control. That would have slowed the train down. If youre going into a curve too quickly, if youre something that you need to slow down for, that would have. Had that mechanism been put in place. It would have slowed the train down. That was not installed on this train. Plenty of questions. Yesterday they thought six people were dead. There were so many people on the train. And why is there so much confusion with the numbers . Reporter we were having the same problem too, pam. Six people were first thought to be dead and they revised that down to three. There are a number of people in the hospital. There were 80 passengers on the train and five crew members. No one in the cars miraculously died on interstate five you see behind me. And it was morning rush hour. There are 70 people taken to the hospital and some of them in serious and critical condition. The numbers could fluctuate more today. One last question. One of the nearby towns was opposing the service because of safety concerns. What are you hearing about that. Reporter yeah, they didnt want this. They were protesting and saying this is not out in the middle of the country. This goes through our town, right by our interstate. And they were trying to make this a more popular train to shave off 10 minutes. They upped the speed. It was a fast moving speed. Nothing like you see in japan but it was a fast moving train. And some of the communities were trying to educate people. This is definitely a fast train. This train should not have been going 80 Miles Per Hour, however.
