This is the cbs evening news with jeff glor. Evening. The house today passed a 1. 46 trillion tax cut bill but may have to revote tomorrow to accommodate senate changes. We will have details on all this very soon, but first we this have breaking news from mexico. A deadly bus crash. The bus was carrying Cruise Ship Passengers on a land excursion. Officials say at least 12 people were killed and 18 injured. We know americans are among the injured. Don dahler has the latest. Reporter images of the crash show a terrifying scene, a tour bus flipped on its side on a twolane highway. Several wounded people around the bus. The mexican Civil Defense reported multiple injuries, perhaps as many as 20, including american and european passengers. The bus, carrying nearly three dozen tourist, was traveling on a road in mexico between mahahahual and cafetal in the state of quintana roo. The passengers were from a Royal Caribbean cruise and headed to the ancient mayan ruin at chaccoben. A cbs radio reporter happened to be on board one of the ships. There were some very grim scenes at the Guest Services area on board the trip, people consoling each other, still trying to figure out who was involved. Some of the tour buses have yet to return to the ocean liner. Reporter the u. S. State department did not say whether americans were among the dead. They are sending personnel to mexico. We are following it very closely. We want to express our condolences to all of those affected by that. Reporter Royal Caribbean said in a statement they are assisting their guests in every way possible. The tour bus involved was carrying guests from celebrity equinox and serenade of the seas. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Glor don, thank you very much. Federal investigators also looking into whether an amtrak engineer was distracted by someone else in the locomotive when the train careened off a highway overpass yesterday in washington state. Three people were killed, including two membersofa royal advocacy group. About 100 were treated at hospitals. Ten have serious injuries. The train was traveling 80mph in a 30mile zone when it left the tracks. Carter evans is in dupont, washington. Reporter today cranes lifted the heavy, crumbled train cars that littered the i5 freeway near tacoma. New photos from inside the train show the mangled passenger compartment. The train derailed as it was approaching a curve. The front locomotive jumped the tracks and went over an embankment. Several passenger cars followed, some even careening off a bridge onto the highway below. The National Transportation safety board is examining the trains data recorder. Preliminary indications are that the train was traveling at 80mph on a 30mph track. Reporter amtrak has offered no explanation as to why the train was traveling at more than twice the speed limit, but radio transmissions after the crash suggest there was another person in the locomotive with the engineer, which could have been a distraction. A gentleman who was in for the headin trip today seems to have a broken femur. For the most part the criminal of that train is in the hands of the engineer. Reporter Russell Quimby is a former Railroad Accident investigator for the n. T. S. B. He says investigators will focus on the engineers action. The engineer being asleep or distracted. We could also have a medical issue that cropped up. Reporter Daniel Konzelman and his girlfriend Alicia Hoverson were driving when they saw the train wreck and immediately jumped out to help. Everybody that was inside was killed or pinned underneath the train. Yeah, it was pretty sobering. Reporter years before yesterdays first run, a local mayor sued to make the route safer. He lost. In light of yesterdays accident, lakewood mayor don anderson now wants even bigger changes. What would you like to see happen . Id like to see it go back to the old route. I think its safer. Its more scenic. Every once in a while government has to back up and say, we made a bad decision. We can fix it. Reporter while yesterday was first commercial trip on this section of track, transit officials tell me they have been testing it since last spring with variety of trains at different speeds, and, jeff, they tell me there were no issues. Glor carter, thanks very much. Technology does exist that could have prevented that crash. Amtrak and all big passenger railroads were supposed to have it in place two years ago. That didnt happen. Heres transportation correspondent kris van cleave. Reporter amtrak 501 came into this curving stretch of track at nearly triple the posted speed limit, a scenario positive train control is designed to prevent. Youre confident this would prevent a train going too fast around a curve . Yes, thats correct. Reporter p. T. C. Uses censors along the track the commune kate with locomotives. Amtrak showed us how the Technology Takes over a speeding train. If you accelerate now, it wont let you . I cant do it. Its locked. Even if i try, i have no power because the brakes are applied. Reporter this deadly 2008 accident in california prompted congress to mandate p. T. C. By the end of 2015, but that year, just months after the amtrak derail. In philadelphia, congress voted to delay the deadline until 2018. Now only about 40 of passenger locomotives have p. T. C. Installed. People have died as a result of that extension. Reporter Mark Rosenker was the chair of the n. T. S. B. In 2008. Railroads basically went to congress and said, were not going to operate unless we get relief. You couldnt just stop americas railroads. Congress caved in. Reporter this year the Trump Administration has five times delayed a requirement for passenger railroads to develop a systemwide safety plan, and it has abandoned rules for stricter sleep apnea testing despite a series of deadly crashes and against n. T. S. B. Recommendations. Matthew lehner was the spokesman under president obama. Some of the actions by this administration are definitely moving us backward and not forward on having a safer rail system. Reporter the Current Department of transportation explained its decisions this way. In terms of those safety plan, they say they needed more times to review comments. With reference to sleap sleep apnea, they said they felt existing regulations would be sufficient. Jeff . Glor kris van cleave, thanks very much. Now to the tax bill. First ore haul of the u. S. Tax code in decades passed the Republican House today on a vote of 227203,y along party lines. The senate is expected to vote tonight, but because of a procedural glitch, the house will likely have to vote again tomorrow. Here is chief Congressional Correspondent nancy cordes. The motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. Reporter jubilant House Republicans passed the massive plan and sent it right to the senate. Mr. President. Reporter where the g. O. P. Majority is poised to sign off, too. On february 1, look at your paycheck, because youll see the tax relief we delivered today. Reporter the 1. 46 trillion dollar plan delivers permanent Corporate Tax cuts and temporary cuts for individuals, prompting a fevered debate over who truly benefits. Is this bill about helping people who are living paycheck to paycheck . Hell no i say, hell, yes, they are going to be helped by this bill. Reporter independent studies find most taxpayers will save anywhere from 60 to 51,000 next year, depending on their income. But by 2027, 53 of taxpayers will pay more than before, even as savings for the verywelly continue very wealthy continue to climb. We are witnessing highway robbery in entered daylight. Reporter republicans insist future congresses will prevent those tax hikes and that gains for the rich are unavoidable. If they pay 80 of the tax, well, then, who do you think if you give a tax cut will get the money back . Reporter at the heart of the g. O. P. Plan is the view that slashing Corporate Taxes by 40 will lead to more jobs, higher wages, and eventually more revenue for the u. S. Government. If this plan doesnt generate the kind of growth youre predicting, what do you do then . Look, if you look at the last eight years, america has consistently underperformed, not one year at 3 growth, not one. Thats not the best america can do. Reporter once this bill clears the senate, it will likely have to go back to the house one last time, but thats essentially a formality and shouldnt prevent the president from signing his first major legislative accomplishment into law tomorrow if he wishes, jeff. Glor nancy cordes, thank you. Okay. Our Business AnalystJill Schlesinger joins us now. Jill, weve talked about the caps on state and local deductions as it pertains to this tax bill. What about mortgages . Right now under the old law, you can deduct mortgage interest up to 1 million. That amount is going down next year to 750,000. Now, dont panic if you actually have a larger amount than that. The existing loans that are in place right now will be grandfathered in. Glor but there are other impacts on homeowners, as well. There are big changes to how the treatment of home equity lines and home equity loans are going to be handled in the future. Right now you can deduct interest on that. So Going Forward you will not be able to do that for both existing and new loans. Now, this is important, because i think many homeowners use these at lifelines. They can be used to pay down credit card debt, maybe even a tuition payment, an emergency in your home, theyre lowinterest alternatives to have this Emergency Reserve Fund available to you. Glor a lot of folks wondering how this might affect the real estate market. I talk to experts. They say its a minimal amount, maybe up to a 10 hit on prices. And heres why with the near doubling of the standard deduction and this limit on state, local, and property taxes, some folks are going to sit on the sidelines and wait to see what happens. That is happening at a time where we have seen home prices actually increase in value from the top of the market. So well have to wait and see. Hopefully not a big dip. Glor jill, thanks very much. Thank you. Glor the Trump Administration pointed the finger at north korea today for a massive cyber attack last may. Dubbed wanna cry, the attack was a giant extortion scheme that disabled computers worldwide. Homeland security correspondent jeff pegues has more on this. Reporter even though early signed pointed to kim jonguns regime, the u. S. Took its time officially assigning blame for the cyber attack. Were going to hold him accountable. Were going the say it. Were going to shame him for it. Reporter seven months later, time is up for north korea. Tom bossert is the president s Homeland Security adviser. North korea has demonstrated they want to hold the entire world at risk, whether it be through a Nuclear Missile program or through wanton cyber attacks. Reporter investigators acknowledge they did not find a smoking gun linking wanna cry to the north koreans. What they did find, they say, were cyber fingerprints within the malicious code. The hackers began targeting computers in asia on may 12th. Soon 200,000 computers and 150 countries were infected. The hackers concealed data and claimed they were the only ones with the keys to unlock the codes. Their digital ransom note demanded 300 in bitcoin within three days or 600 within seven days and posted a countdown clock threatening the files will be lost if the ransom was not paid. Why is kim jongun doing this . Adam meyers is with crowdstrike. I think ransom element may have been part of the guidance that is to generate revenue. There are lots of things that north korea is involved in to generate revenue to fund their Nuclear Program and some of their other operations. Reporter north korea, which is under u. S. Sanction, was also behind the attack on Sony Pictures computers three years ago. You want to go kill kim jongun . Reporter that was in retaliation for a movie called the interview, which depicted an assassination attempt on the north korean leader. The wanna cry ransomware was developed in part by using leaked n. S. A. Hacking documents. That leak is still under investigation. Jeff . Glor jeff pegues, thank you. Now a look at some of the other stories were following in this evenings news feed. Airlines are getting back on schedule after a fire and blackout sunday at the airport in atlanta.

So why are they getting so much more frequent . Robocalls have now reached record levels, even though 230 million phone numbers are on the do not call registry. Heres anna werner. This is susan with credit card relief. Reporter theyre the annoying phone calls that plague americans. You qualify for a 75 savings. Reporter robocalls, computergenerated phone calls trying to sell you something or scam you. The government says 99 of computergenerated sales calls are illegal and blocking service hiya says this year americans got 76 more calls than in 2016, a record 18 billion scam calls. Regulators have talked about cracking down, so why are the numbers going up. Hiyas Jonathan Nelson . Regulations like do not call registry have been very effective for legitimate business, but the calls were still receiving are illegal in their message, so they are not hesitant to use illegal methods, like robocalling. Reporter hucksters favorite tactic, the companys analysis says whats called the neighbor scam, using software to mimic the first six digits of your phone number, the area code and next three digit, to make you think this a nearby friend or business is calling. Another, claiming to be your Utility Company to get your personal and financial information. So why havent efforts to stop the calls worked so far . The trouble is theres a lot of money in this. Theres billions of doll theres can be made. So the scammers are likely to come up with a new tactic. Its a bit of a game of cat and mouse. Were always somewhat at a disadvantage. Reporter the fcc doesnt track calls, just complaints, but says unwanted calls are the top consumer complaint. They say theyre working with phone companies to stop it, but there is no quick fix here. You can install apps to try to block calls or just dont pick up the phone. Jeff . Glor good luck with all that. Reporter thats hard to do. Glor thank you very much.
