Philadelphia and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a. And good morning and welcome to a special split edition of today on a wednesday morning. Im matt lauer in the Port Richmond area of philadelphia. And what a scene behind you. I think phillys mayor said it best. He seemed visibly shaken by what he saw walking the length of the train saying it was an absolute disaster. Like something hes never seen before. Its a good description. It happened just down the road behind me about 150 yards down there. If you look closely, fire engines, First Responders still on the scene. As we come on the air this morning, weve now been told six confirmed dead from this accident. Lets go up above and take a look from our chopper. This morning you can see the tangled mess of cars tracks power lines. One car nearly flipped over another ended up almost perpendicular to the other cars and to the tracks. Amtrak train 188 derailed in the area behind me about 9 28 last night. One passenger said there was a very rapid deceleration and then terrible shaking of the cars and then the car he was in rolled over. 243 passengers and crew members were on board. Again, we have just learned six confirmed dead. At least five are critically injured. Over 140 others have been sent to four area hospitals. And we should mention that the search and rescue efforts are ongoing this morning. They just brought in three very heavy cranes to attempt to lift some of those wrecked train cars. Each of those cranes can lift about 220,000 pounds. Of course theyre needed to see if there are other people in the cars or even under that wreckage. Now, it only took about eight minutes for First Responders to get to the scene and they arrived to an awful sight. This is the busiest rail corridor in the nation. Some 2200 trains travel between washington and boston each and every day. Ntsb investigators are on the scene. A larger team expected later this morning. And this route between philadelphia and new york is now shut down and its expected to be shut down for some time. Weve got this story covered for you beginning with nbcs tom costello. Hes in that helicopter high above the crash site. Tom, good morning to you. Reporter yeah. Good morning, matt. 2,000 feet here above the scene. Really at this altitude you get this view of how terrible this accident was. All of those broken and twisted rail cars sitting lying on their side down there. The key is going to be this. Is there anybody still in or underneath those twisted and broken rail cars . The fire rescue crews went through meticulously those cars overnight but they dont know if anybody might be underneath. Thats a concern today. Meanwhile as you mentioned, the ntsb arrives today and they will try to figure out exactly what went wrong on this night train to new york. Keep crawling okay . Reporter in the dark smoke, and chaos. Go go go. Reporter passengers clawed and climbed their way out of mangled train cars. Into a scene of confusion. Some in shock. Others left lying on the tracks barically identifiable as an amtrak train. The brakes were hit hard. Then our car slowly started going over to the right. I braced my arm against it. It is an absolute disastrous mess. Reporter firefighters had to cut into the train to rescue passengers and crew members trapped inside. After the engine and all seven cars derailed three turned on their sides, one car nearly reston on its roof. Theres a bunch of debris down there, sharp objects. Its a dangerous situation for responders. Even more dangerous for the riders down there. Reporter train 188, the washington to new york run, had just left its scheduled 9 07 p. M. Stop at the 30th street nation headed north when at about 9 28 p. M. , the train derailed with such force the electrical wires were torn down. It happened on this curve on the northeast corridor. We just rolled and rolled. Next thing i knew we were pushing out the emergency exit. We were outside and there were people screaming and bleeding. Reporter now investigators are just beginning to look for clues. Among their questions, was the train traveling too fast . There is a curve. We have no idea what kind of speed were talking about, what else happened out there. Reporter among those trapped on the plane, Patrick Murphy capturing the car turned on its side. And nbc news producer Janelle Richards. This morning the worst amtrak train accident in more than a decade and its still too early to know what happened and why. Were back live now 2,000 feet above the scene. You can see they brought in these heavy cranes. Essentially theyre going to be lifting the amtrak cars trying to right them. And theyre going to be looking to see if there is anybody underneath the wreckage. Everybody is hoping that there isnt. But thats going to be a huge challenge. In addition as you know matt this is one of the heaviest stretches of rail line in the country, the northeast corridor. It is essentially shut down right now between philadelphia and new york as they try to figure out how long its going to take to reopen this set of tracks. It could take days. The investigation itself i would imagine, will take weeks or even months. Back to you. Yeah. As we mentioned, members of the ntsb arriving today. A larger team expected later on. A wide range of possibilities. Everything from mechanical error to a track failure to human error or a deliberate act. What information will the ntsb have at its disposal in terms of a black box on that train . Reporter so that black box will essentially give them real data just like it would on a plane. That will tell them things like how fast was the train traveling . It will also give a sense of the dynamic of the train itself. Was there a malfunction underway . Theyre also doing toxicology reports on everybody who was on that train in terms of the engineer conductor, et cetera. They want to see if anybody had any illegal substances alcohol or drugs, in their system. That is a normal part of the investigation. Theyre not presupposing anything but they dont want to rule it out. Obviously the ntsb has to conduct the investigation. Then that wreckage has to be removed and the tracks have to be repaired. So for people concerned about this corridor its going to be shut down for a long time. And for people who are concerned about loved ones who may have been on that train, amtrak has set up a phone number 1800523. 9101. Let me give it to you again. 18005239101. This is for people who need to find out if a loved one was on that train. You can call that number if you havent been able to reach that person. Nbcs Stephanie Gosk is here in philadelphia as well. Shes at one of the hospitals treating the injured. What can you tell us . Reporter good morning, matt. Here at the aria frankford hospital. This one is actually closest to you at the crash scene. They received 26 passengers. We know there are at least five critically wounded. The rest were ferried to other hospitals in the area. And you could imagine that late at night all of these passengers coming in it overwhelmed the system pretty quickly. When you look at that and consider the fact that on an amtrak train, there are no seat belts, it does not take much to get knocked around. Every single one of those cars was thrown off the tracks. Either toppled or in some cases ripped apart. And you can imagine the injuries. Broken bones, lacerations, on up to very traumatic injuries like the critically wounded we were talking about. One of the very visitcritical things theyll do today is running the manifest with the names of people in hospitals and they were able to get out. And looking for people that may still be missing. Stephanie, thank you very much. Want to go back to tom costello. From your Vantage Point, we received a Little Information earlier this morning that they had some dogs working the scene. Rescue operators had dogs working the scenes trying to sniff out some people who could be trapped in the wreckage. Can you see any of that kind of activity going on from where you are . Reporter matt i dont see that activity from our Vantage Point. But as you can see, weve got a tremendous amount of activity down below. Not a lot of fire rescue activity anymore. Now amtrak authorities. Ntsb already has the first part of their go team is on the scene. And that will be as you would expect ramped up through the day. Theyre also bringing in investigative equipment. You touch on an important point here. The question is whether anybody is still in that wreckage. And if so you know theres not a great expectation that anybody could be alive. But as you might expect many people are concerned that this death toll could rise. All right, tom. Thank you very much. Were going to have much more from the scene in just a little while. Former pennsylvania congressman Patrick Murphy was on that train. Were going to be talking to him and get his first hand account. Earlier we did see some images he recorded and well talk to him in just a little while. But first i want to go back up to new york and savannah. Thank you. Well keep checking in with you. Another big story, the search expanding this morning for the marine helicopter that has vanished during an aid mission in nepal. Katy tur is in kathmandu this morning with the very latest. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. The death toll now stands at 65 and this region still in a complete state of shock after tuesdays quake. People too afraid to go inside buildings, afraid to get too close to them. Again sleeping out in the open as fears grow. Also that a u. S. Helicopter is still missing. The search has resumed this morning for the missing huey helicopter like this one. The chopper suddenly lost radio contact yesterday while dropping supplies and evacuating earthquake victims at a remote village. There had reportedly been brief radio chatter about a fuel problem but then total silence. The rugged terrain makes rescue efforts difficult putting search crews at risk. The missing marines are part of 300 u. S. Military personnel who began arriving just after the first earthquake on april 25th. This latest quake forces thousands once again to spend the night out in the open as dozens of aftershocks continue to rattle the region. People everybody is scared. Right now nobody stays in the house. Reporter across the country, already weakened buildings crumbled sending clouds of dust into the air and bringing more misery. This Morning International search teams are out once again searching debris and hoping to find survivors. The small glimmer of good news is they were able to pull some people from the rubble here yesterday. Theyre still looking for more. Theyre still trying to see who they can find. Just a bit of good news among just utter devastation. Back to you. All right, katy. Thank you so much. Meantime natalies here. The iraq war featured prominently in the Campaign Conversation right now. Certainly is. And likely republican president ial candidate jeb bush is doing damage control over those comments about the iraq war. It started on fox news on monday when bush was asked if he would have authorized the iraq investigation knowing what we know now and he said yes. But on tuesday he tried to clarify and back track on those remarks saying he interpreted the question wrong. He said he was talking about people knew then based on the intelligence gathered rather than what we know now. North Korean Leader kim jongun executed his defense chief for sleeping during a meeting and talking back to the leaders. This is according to the south korean news agency. South korean spy agencies said the four star general was killed with hundreds of people watching at a shooting range in pyongyang in late april. The execution, though has not been independently confirmed. In Pakistan Police say gunmen attacked a bus today killing 43 people on board and wounding several others. A Splinter Group of the Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for that attack. Meantime back here at home tom brady has until tomorrow to appeal his fourgame suspension and his agent says he sure will. But hes not the only one whos fighting back. The man who led the deflategate investigation is coming out swinging as well to defend him. Calling his independence from the league are out of bounds and just plain wrong. And he went after brady saying he answered all of his questions but refused to turn over the emails and Text Messages which was so important to the investigation. Still waiting to hear something from brady. Whats going on in the weather . Got a lot of wet weather, dangerous weather down in texas again. Flash flooding flood watches in effect. We do have flash flood watches and warnings. Upwards of 23 Million People at risk because were watching more rain develop during the day today pushing up into oklahoma. So areas that got hit by tornadoes over the weekend, a real mess. You can see anywhere from 3 to 5 inches locally in some spots. Were going to get to your l good morning, im meteorologist bill henley. A blustery day. Gusty winds but bright sunshine. Temperatures much cooler than yesterday. Almost 20 degrees cooler this afternoon. Chillier tomorrow morning. Down in the 40s. Low humidity. 75 degrees. Nice friday. Start with sunshine and late in the day clouds will move in. That will lead to a chance of showers and thunderstorms over the weekend that will continue next week. Have a great day. Thats your latest weather. Now back to philadelphia. All right. Thank you very much al. Back here at the scene of the deadly amtrak train crash. Six people confirmed dead five critically injured. 140 others in local hospitals. Janelle richards is a producer for nbc news and she was on the train. How are you this morning . Im operating in shock. Physically are you okay . Im fine. Talk to me about what you saw. Whatd you hear . We were just riding along. Ive ridden the train many times from washington, d. C. To new york. It happened literally in an instant. All of a sudden i felt myself fly up in the train, sit back down move forward, move back. Move forward, move back. And there was just a loud loud crash. The train had only left the philadelphia station a few minutes before. Can you give me any estimation as to how fast that train was traveling at the time of the crash . I mean we were going fast. But no faster than any other time ive ridden the train before. When you talk about it shook, you went forward and back. What happened once that train car derail snded. How did it end up . It did not end up on its side. It was standing up straight and as quickly as it happened it stopped just as fast. And i remember just sitting there for a second thinking i cannot believe that just happened. This train just crashed. Once smoke started filling the car, i thought ive got to get out of here. Were there people injured in your car you could see . Yes. The first thing i could see was there was a woman in the aisle and she had blood streaming down her face. And so you know i asked her are you okay. She said im okay. Were you able to just walk out the doors of the train . I walked out to the exit and there were people there trying to get the door open. I think they were pressing that button to try to get it to slide back. And passengers were helping each other off. And when you get off to the side of the tracks, did you get a chance to look around and see what happened . It was completely dark. And then i just went away into the woods. There were just trees and dirt and gravel. And i turned around and saw this scene as this train which to me then looked like it was split in two almost. And then i looked up. Thats when i saw these two huge electrical poles that were leaning inwards. I just remember thinking what is it possible for these to just fall and people were just saying things like move away from the tracks move away from the wires. I think in that moment we didnt know if could another train come down here . What happens on the tracks . I mean it was just what do you do . And people were still trying to get off the train. As i mentioned, janelle is a producer for nbc. Obviously so many others less fortunate to walk off the car. Janelle, i appreciate you joining me this morning. Thanks. Im happy youre okay. Thank you. All right. Were going to have much more on this breaking news straight ahead. But first on a wednesday morning, this is today on nbc. Its a money maker. I mean, i just feel like our children are paying the price for these high stakes tests and their teachers are stressed out about it. So, teachers arent benefiting. Theyre not getting information from these tests that are helpful for teaching. Kids arent benefiting because they dont even know what they got right or wrong. They just know that they feel really bad about it. Parents arent benefitting because i dont get any more information about my child. So the only people that could possibly be benefitting from this are corporations who are making the tests and selling the tests. Still to come on this wednesday morning, jeff rossen will show you how to get out alive if you were involved in a train crash. And well have much more on this amtrak accident outside philadelphia.

Were back at 7 30 now on a wednesday morning. May 13th 2015. Were covering a breaking story. This is the scene of a deadly amtrak derailment in philadelphia if youre just waking up and joining us. There are cranes being used to lift the overturned cars in a desperate search for anyone who may be trapped underneath. Matt good morning again to you. Hey, san va that. Good morning to you. Those are heavy duty cranes. Each one can lift about 220,000 pounds. Theyre needed to see what lies beneath that tangled wreckage. Lets get you caught up on where things stand right now. The death toll has climbed, unfrnldun unfortunately, to six. 140 others injured. Many still being treated at area hospitals this morning. Right now rail traffic between new york and philadelphia thats part of the busiest corridor in this country, is shut down and will be for some time. Both ntsb and federal Railroad Administration has dispatched investigators to this scene and they are starting to do their job. Lets go to nbcs tom costello above the destruction. Good morning again. Reporter good morning to you. Were in wcau news 10s helicopter here over the scene. When you see it first hand it is mind boggling to imagine that so many did get out alive. But the big concern right now as investigators begin going through the wreckage is whether somebody might still be in there. There is not hope anybody might still be alive, but the thought is somebody could be trapped in the twisted wreckage or literally underneath those cars. They brought in the heavy duty cranes you mentioned. Theyre going to try to get a sense of what happened as starting to do this. Theyre looking for victims and looking for any clues at the same time. The ntsb go team is on the scene as well. This is going to be an investigation that takes perhaps months i would expect. But we should get some sense, early sense i would expect within the next couple of weeks with what the leading indicators are. You mentioned the northeast corridor is closed down as well. Thats going to have a real impact on travel up and down the corridor all the way from washington up to new york. All right, tom. Thanks very much. Earlier we showed you dramatic images shared by former congressman Patrick Murphy of pennsylvania. He was on that train and hes with us now this morning. Patrick, its good to see you. Where were you on the train . What car were you in . I believe the third or fourth train. I was in a cafe car. There are two. I was in the southern one. So about the third or fourth car. The way its been described that we heard all morning, rapid deceleration and then violent shaking of those cars and then they tipped. Is that what you experienced . Yeah. Some shaking, some vibration, which i knew wasnt a good sign. Im on a bench seat with a table. A senator was to my left. But when that vibration happened all of a sudden it tipped to the left and then violently to the right when it came to its side. Unfortunately i was on the lefthand side of the train so everyone on that side just flew over. I frankly, landed on my head. What were some of the injuries of the passengers in the car that you saw . There was a lot of blood all over. The guy next to me was unconscious. So i grabbed him and sat him up. Smacked his face to say get up. He got up came to and i said we were in an accident. I had to pull myself up. I saw there was everything was dark. You hear crying and screaming. And of course blood. And so i look and i could see light through the window. I pushed out the window emergency top, and then some folks in that train just made a beeline. They were stepping over people and i helped them get out. Got eight or nine people. And then there was 11 of us still back. Most of them were really wounded. I told them to put pressure where they were bleeding out of their extremities. My car was okay so i climbed over the cantina part to get to the other side because i heard screaming over there. There were people really bad over there. One guy couldnt move at all. The other was bleeding from everywhere. I told him First Responders were coming. Youre going to be okay. I want to mention youre an iraq war veteran. At that moment does training kick in . Yeah i joined the army when i was 18. The first thing i did when i survived frankly i took my body parts, they were there. I popped up and then just wanted to take care of them. It was even the amtrak woman was there. I could tell she was shooken up and not in good shape. But even she was getting ice there for the injured people right there until we saw those firefighters come through. Right away over live wires and everything. The First Responders the cops and firefighters did an amazing job. Even as one of the Police Helicopters continues to circle above. Patrick, im glad youre all right. Obviously its great you were able to help some of the people in the car with you. Thanks for being here this morning. Thank you. Appreciate it. Former congressman Patrick Murphy thank you very much. Lets go back to savannah. We want to get more on the investigation now, matt. As Deborah Hersman joins us nop shes now president and ceo of the National Safety council. As i start with you, we talk about the black box, this recording device that will be found inside the train. What kind of information is on it and how quickly, typically, are investigators able to get their hands on it . They will be able to recover that quickly. The good news is there wasnt a postcrash fire. Theyll want to make sure its not damaged and they can download information on site. Theyll get parameters like speed, throttle and braking. This is a very heavily traveled section of railroad. Would there likely be cameras, that kind of thing, where you could also put the pieces together like that . Absolutely. Very often we see cameras, even some forward mounted cameras on trains and they will be able to record track conditions weather conditions. And they wont be looking just at this train, but theyre looking at all of the other trains who have passed through this section of tracks to see if they spotted something or had had a rough ride there. I dont want to put you on the spot because its so early, but these witness accounts so far have talked about a rapid slowdown and then a lot of shaking. Is that something that you feel would be typical in any kind of derailment no matter the cause or does that suggest to you anything about a potential cause . Well well have to determine what was happening with respect to operation of the train, whether or not the train went into emergency braking, whether those brakes were applied. Or whether there was a failure of a part or equipment. Theyll be looking at all of that closely. And another issue people have raised is because this is such a heavily traveled section of track that there are also infrastructure issues whether or not the track was well maintained whether or not it was aging. Is this something investigators will look hard at . You know Infrastructure Investment is a huge challenge in this country. Whether were talking about our highways our railroads, or even or airports. It requires a great deal of capital to maintain everything in good working order. You Better Believe they will be looking at that. All right, deborah, always good to have your expertise. Stay close. We may turn to you again. Thank you very much. Thank you. And well shift gears here for a moment and get a check of the weather. Thats right. Theyve been dealing with longterm drought in california. This rain thats coming is not going to be anything that alleviates that drought but gives temporary relief. A low will come down by friday. That moisture gets caught up in the jet stream. So were looking at mountain snows above 6,000 feet. Gusty winds, minor mud and debris flow from Central California all the way down into san diego. In fact some areas may be picking up 1 to 2 inches of rain by the time we get into saturday morning. So a little good news for our friends in central and thats whats going on around the country. Heres good morning, im meteorologist bill henley. A blustery day. Gusty winds, but bright sunshine. Temperatures much cooler than yesterday. Almost 20 degrees cooler this afternoon. And chillier tomorrow morning. Down into the 40s to start with. Really comfortable day thursday with low humidity. 75 degrees. Pretty nice on friday too. Start with lots of sunshine and then late in the day clouds will be moving in. That will lead to a chance of showers and thunderstorms over the weekend that will continue next week. Have a great day. And thats your latest weather. Thank you so much. Coming up a question on the minds of a lot people today. In the wake of whats happened on the tracks in philly would you know what to do if you were in a situation like that . Well have more on that part of the story. But first on a wednesday morning, this is today. I dont want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. Or wonder whether i should seek treatment. I am ready. Because today theres harvoni. A revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. Harvoni is proven to cure up to 99 of patients whove had no prior treatment. Its the one and only cure thats one pill once a day for 12 weeks. Certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. With harvoni, theres no interferon and there are no complex regimens. Tell your doctor if you have other liver or kidney problems or other medical conditions. And about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. Harvoni should not be taken with any medicines containing amiodarone, rifampin or st. Johns wort. It also should not be taken with any other medicine that contains sovaldi. Side effects may include tiredness and headache. I am ready to put hep c behind me. I am ready to be cured. Are you ready . Ask your hep c specialist if harvoni is right for you. For most people, earning cash back ends here, at the purchase. But the citi double cash card doesnt end there. It lets you earn cash back when you buy and again as you pay. Thats cash back twice.

Some footage recorded by passengers. A lot of people use this busy stretch of railroad. A lot of people wonder what if it happened to me. How would i get out alive . Jeff rossen has been following that part of the story. Good morning. Reporter hey, savannah good morning. Those images you showed unbearable to watch. It happens in a second. You dont have time to think in a crash. One passenger overnight said it was starting to shake and suddenly it was off the rails. These accidents are happening more often than you think. As you wake up to the new tragedy, were about to show you how to get out alive. Right now officials in philadelphia trying to figure out what went wrong. Combing over the twisted wreckage from this accident. Passengers killed dozens of others rushed to hospitals. When this amtrak train derailed and flipped over. Photos inside capturing the chaos, the smoke, the terror. It just rolled and rolled. Next thing i knew we were pushing out the emergency exit. I was outside and there were people screaming and bleeding. Reporter as train accidents are in the news happening across the country. Just months ago in february this deadly metro north crash in new york. Six killed more than a dozen hurt when the train slammed into an suv on the tracks and exploded. Check out this dramatic video from inside a train crash outside orlando. It demolished the new sports coupe. It stalled on the crossing just before the gates came down. The driver got out with seconds to spare. And in glendale california an suv stuck on the tracks caused this commuter train to derail. Hitting trains on both sides of it. Killing 11 people. According to the federal Railroad Administration more than 230 people were killed in nearly 2,100 collisions nationwide last year alone. In this latest crash in philadelphia the stories and the videos emerging. Desperate passengers struggling to escape. Keep crawling okay . Where am i crawling . Reporter yelling in the dark for help. Frantically trying to open the doors. Go go, go. Reporter if this were your train, would you know how to get out . There are three ways to get out. Reporter scott sauer is the safety expert for septa. Every train in the country has emergency signs. If you see the sign you can open the main door of the train you came in on and follow those destructions. Reporter so even if the conductor or engineer are too chaotic to open the door you can open it yourself. Yes. Reporter can i try . Yes. Reporter okay. Push this red handle down and the doors are released. And i can open it the rest of the way. This is a pretty big drop here so you want to be careful getting out. Overnight rb overnight, reports of passengers trying to open the windows to escape. Heres how you do it. Theres emergency exit windows in every car. Pull it. Pull all the rubber from that window. Grab the handle. Pull the window towards you. Then you can go through the window. Its still a seven or eight foot drop to the ground. Reporter in most crashes theres fires and smoke.

Well give you a look at the technology that could take you to the edge of space. No rockets required. And we go a little bit country with seventime grammy winners Lady Antebellum. Theyve got a big announcement to share and theyll perform their latest hit single live today. Wednesday, may 13th 2015. Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to a split edition of today on a wednesday. Weve got matt in philadelphia covering this breaking news the deadly amtrak derailment. Matt, good morning again. Good morning, savannah. It happened about 150 yards behind me down that road. Sadly we learn this morning a sixth person has died after that crash. It also sent 140 other people to the hospital. Were hearing that about five of those are in Critical Condition. Nbcs tom costello is high above us in our affiliates helicopters. What can you see from your Vantage Point . Reporter you get a sense of how horrific this accident is. Seven cars on they side. Just twisted and broken metal littering the tracks. But it seems almost as if it exploded in pieces across the tracks. Some of those pieces literally just came together crushed up like a tin can. The focus of the investigation this morning immediately is determining whether theres anybody else any other victims perhaps underneath those rail cars that are on their sides. Authorities fear the death toll could rise this morning as rescuers prepare to finally get underneath the amtrak cars. All seven of which derailed. Three turned on their sides and one completely toppled over. Ive never seen anything so devastating. Theyre in pretty bad shape. Theyve completely derailed from the tracks. Theyve been destroyed completely. It just looks like a war zone. Its a travesty. Theres just cars and stuff everywhere and power lines knocked over. Go go gob. Reporter nbc producer Janelle Richards was on the train when it crashed. It happened in an instant. All of a sudden i felt myself fly up in the train, sit back down move forward, move forward, move back. And then there was a loud crash. Reporter they had just left a scheduled stop when it turned a curve derailing with such force it rips the rails from the tracks. The mayor calling the scene a disastrous mess as investigators try to piece together what caused the deadly accident. Were not going to speculate. We do not know why this happened. There is no information about that. Reporter back live now over the scene of this accident. You can see firefighters are still on the scene, but they brought in these big framecranes. Theyre going to try to lift those cars looking for anybody who might be under the cars and then the process of determining what went wrong. Theyve got to right all of that equipment back up on the tracks as much as they can before they can begin the full investigation. Back to you. Yes, tom. You talked about the investigation. We just heard investigators are not going to speculate at this point. But theyll have real valuable information as soon as they get their hands on the trains black box. Reporter well thats right. Because theyre able to as opposed to a plane crash where you physically have to get that black box. In the case of a train accident they can just download it very quickly on the scene. The focus is going to be looking at all of that data. How fast was the train moving . Did it obey all of the signals . How did it take that curve . Was there any sign of emergency braking and were the brakes applied as part of any sort of a failure of equipment . All of that is going to be part of this. Then of course you have to look at the human factors. It is a normal part of the investigation to do a full blood toxicology on the crew members looking for any illegal substances whether it might be alcohol or also drugs. And then weve got to consider that weve had had a lot of accidents over the last few years, train accidents that have involved fatigue in which quite literally when the engineer fell asleep or the engineer was distracted by texting. All of that is going to be part of this investigation. It is not an easy one. I think this thing could take several weeks or perhaps even the better part of a year. Back to you. All right, tom. Just to remind people this portion of the northeast corridor that very very busy corridor between philadelphia and new york will be shut down for the foreseeable future. Were going back to natalie now in new york for the other top stories. Good morning, matt. Good morning, everyone. The search has intensified this morning for a u. S.

One helps keep you awake the other helps you sleep.

This is her most popular item. Its a black and white tank with merica on it. Friends said we saw a shirt like that at target. So melissa decides to go there herself. And guess what it was there. Selling for less. Now, she complained. She said this looks a lot like my original design. Like exactly. It really does. She says she puts a lot of time and effort into these screen designs. This is her baby her business. Target says it is aware of the issue and contacting her. Do right by her, target. It seems like something maybe went its kind of unmistakable. They need to elevate that. She was in the store. Its not hard to find. And by contact we mean show up with a big check. But also shes obviously a brilliant designer. Maybe she can get into target stores and her business can take off. Mean bwhilemeanwhile, mirror mirror on the wall a new study revealing who is the most vain of them all. What do you think. Men.

President clinton was on David Lettermans show last night as a guest and he revealed his conditions for moving back into the white house. Whats the chance of you moving back to 1600 pennsylvania . Well, first of all, hillary has to win the nomination. If she wins the nomination then she has to win the election. If she wins the election the chances are 100 ill move back. Wait, wait. If im asked. If hes asked. All right. Now to the hair style just about every woman wanted. Full disclosure natalie and savannah had that hair style. The rachel. This morning Jennifer Aniston confessed she hated the rachel cut. She said i was not a fan. That was kind of cringy for me looking back at that time. I couldnt do it on my own. She said this before but because its such an iconic hair style, every time she says she hates it it makes moves. Is it still okay for us to love the rachel . I still love it. There we are. Thats how we first met. Thats when we first fell in love. We did. The first live shot we did. Bringing back the blazer and the rachel. And the dark hair. Yesterday we showed you a picture of Sarah Jessica parker looking very carrie bradshawish. And our suspicions were confirmed. Its not a tease for sex and the city 3, it was for her shoe collection which is going on sale at bloomingdales. So you might say if you cant have carrie just go get a pair of shoes. I love you, sjp, but dont toy with our emotions. She does this a lot. And the shoe line people like anything she wears and does fashionwise. But dont tease us. Dont toy with our love. Prince harry has been having quite a time in new zealand. First revealing he wants to have kids. And now letting off a little steam. He is performing a traditional war dance. He learned it in less than 20 minutes, but his moves won praise of course from the new zealand troops and apparently praise from all the women who watched. Maybe keep this video on a loop. Does he look more studly doing that . I think thats all of us. He has the moves but also the facial intensity. Thats the thing. Almost transforms his face. Yes. I think its more than that. Just when hes practicing. He deserves it. If i looked like that i wouldnt leave the mirror. Thanks. Just ahead, up up and aware. Al takes us up on his beautiful balloon and tells us why it could be the ticket to space in the future. But first about how weather down here . All right. Lets find out. Weve got a Beautiful Day in the northeast. Our friends in boston after a high yesterday of 87 going to be a little cooler today. But awfully comfortable. Temperatures will be in the low 60s. However, this weekend what we are worried about, our friends in the plains from texas up into nebraska. About 5. 5 Million People at risk for possible tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail. Saturday more of a risk again. A slight risk of storms for much of texas all the way to omaha. 25 million folks at risk for wind gusts at 65 Miles Per Hour. Possibility of tornadoes. And this goes right on into sunday. From Central Texas all the way on up into the midwest. This is where were really concerned. 35 Million People at risk for wind gusts and tornadoes. So again, a very very dangerous weekend on tap coming thats whats going on around the country. Good morning. Im meteorologist bill henley. A blustery day. Gusty winds but bright sunshine. Temperatures much cooler than yesterday. Almost 20 degrees cooler this afternoon. Chillier tomorrow morning. Down into the 40s to start with. Really comfortable thursday with low humidity 75 degrees. Pretty nice on friday too. Well start with lots of sunshine. Late in the day cloud lbs moving in. That will lead to a change of showers and thunderstorms over the weekend that will continue next week. Have a great day. Stop. Are we there yet. On tuesday matt showed you how youd be speaking to generations long after youre gone via hologram. Today al is heading to space. Not exactly, but these folks are on the right track. Folks like us could get there very soon. Reporter for as long as weve been on this planet weve been trying to lift up and off of it. Look at that picture over there. Reporter only a handful of people have experienced the view from space. But all that is about to change. Most people think about space as somewhere thats inaccessible its difficult. Our goal is to take people up to the edge of space in 2017. Reporter this is a recent test flight for the world view spacecraft. Wont see any rockets here. Instead, a giant heliumfilled balloon will lift everyday tourists 20 miles up into the stratosphere. No space suit no oxygen mask required. Its a luxury flight like no other. You wont be shake, rattle, and rolled with gs. Youll have a bar and big windows to look out. Reporter based in tucson arizona, world view is the brain child of two big dreamers who do their best thinking with their heads in the clouds. What is this part . So this is the foil that acts like the glide tore bring the capsule back down to land. And the balloon itself above it is about the size of a football stadium when fully inflated. Reporter the size of a football stadium . Yes. Incredibly strong plastic. Reporter this is how thin it is . This is like saran wrap. World view is testing increasingly heavy payloads and developing a 9,000 pound capsule for six passenger and two crew all drifting upward for two hours until they get 1 3 of the way to outer space. High enough to witness earth suspended in blackness. Welcome to our biosphere. Reporter this is where you spent two years and 20 minutes. Reporter no strangers to pushing the boundaries their romance and Business Partnership grew out of another epic endeavor. In 1991 the couple signed on to arizonas biosphere 2 attempting to live inside a sealed dome as part of a prototype space colony. The idea for world view started here in biosphere 2 . Yes. Very directly actually. Reporter here isolated in a giant bubble they gained a new perspective on our planet. Its one thing to be here but to think about going up there seems to be literally a leap of faith. I think part of the experience of living on this earth should be going away from it a little bit and seeing it from a distance and then coming back to it and understanding it in a new way. Reporter but this is inherently dangerous. Yeah. Were really working to make this absolutely as safe as possible. I mean one of the beautiful things about balloons is they are relatively safe because things dont go boom. Its slow low energy. Youre moving at just over walking speed all the way up to space. Reporter really . And theyve proven their technology works. World view designed the gear that utes used to break the record for longest skydive back in october. He jumped from 25 miles up. Its the same balloon. Its the same launch system. Every aspect of that is feeding into what were doing. Reporter why has it taken so long . Why arent we up there yet . There are more spacecraft in development now than in all of World History leading up to this era. This really is sort of the dawning of commercial space. And its taken this long because frankly, its hard. Reporter eager space junkies from around the world have already agreed to pay for the 75,000 ticket. No small price to go where few have gone before. The rest of us will have to catch those views the Old Fashioned way. What is it about us as humans we want to get above and look down . Its a natural human instinct. Incredible way to change your perspective. I think the more we admire and understand the beauty of our earth, the better care well take of it. And may i just say, tucson is just so beautiful. Your hometown. My home. Its a beautiful landscape to see from space. Whats really interesting about this is theyve tested this technology and that its it should be theoretically safe. But the idea that youre just drifting which is different from rockets and what we think. The way to experience like the birds do. Like with the quiet and the peacefulness. No training necessary. No flight suit. And most importantly theres a bar. Oh. Sign me up. How soon . And if they are snacks that would be great. Because they would have pigs and blankets in space oh my gosh. We took a corner from the science and wonder. Tomorrow natalie you are going to check out some technology right . Thats right. Something that will make you feel superhuman. How do you like the sound of a jet pack strapped to your back . I love it. Did they turn the jet pack on . Thats as fast as she goes. Yes. Coming up, Anna Kendrick is here. Is she a motivational genius . She shares some of her best twitter announcer nbc 10 breaking news. It is just before 8 30.

It was weird because there were rumors about a sequel for a long long time. Like for a full year after the movie. And it just didnt feel like it was going to happen. So i was running around saying thats not going to happen. Sorry. It just probably isnt going to happen because movies have made more money and not gotten sequels. So i didnt expect it to happen. It wasnt until all the girls signed on i was like it would be so crazy if they were all doing it and i wasnt there. Exactly. Where are you, becca . I would be having big time Pitch Perfect.

Aye been treading the boards on broadway and off broadway and the theater most of my life. Every so often id get a role in a movie and id be so grateful. But never expected this. This has just been such a gift. This film is really a gift. I understand you got a standing ovation at sundance. What was that like and were you surprised to see that reaction from everyone . Really all generations of people. I think now that the baby boomer generation is coming along, everyone is longing for films like this. I think women are so appreciative to see that this is a woman of my you know 70s and taking charge and being strong and continuing through her difficult time of loss. And carrying on in a very positive way. Because this film even though people are in tears, they laugh their heads off. Weve got these great ladies. And sam of course. Martin starr whos on silicon valley. A fabulous cast. Great cast. And the young man who wrote it when he was 29 has this insight into what it is like to be a 70yearold which is astonishing to me. He just it was just extraordinary. So there are a lot of great moments with this cast in this film. But there are a lot of things that come up. We want to play a game with you called have you ever based on the things that you do in the film. First up in the movie, you flirt, you drink lots and lots of wine.

You can see the clouds and the waves from the wind. The wind is steady now at 20 miles an hour in the pocono mountains. Already at 22 Miles Per Hour wind blowing in philadelphia.

We are back with another update in 25 minutes. This morning on todays take snoop dogg swings through our studio with a hot new album. Plus the star always at the center of scandal, scott foley. And j. Los surprise announcement you bet fans will love. All that and more coming up now. Announcer from nbc news this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. Its may the 13th 2015. Hope your day is off to a good start. Im willie along with al, natalie, and tamron. We want to start with some terrible news from our area here on the east coast. An amtrak train bound for new york city derailed north of philadelphia about 9 20 last night as it was traveling north towards new york city. Tom costello joins us now in a chopper above the scene with the latest. Tom, good morning. Reporter hi, willie. Good morning. Thanks to wcau our affiliate here, we are 2,000 feet above the scene. As you would expect, it is really a story of what the terror must have been like last night. As you can see, the twisted and broken remains of train 188. This was the washington, d. C. To new york line. A crane has now moved in. The idea is to pick the trains up off of the tracks. This is critical because they dont have everybody accounted for yet. They want to make sure that theres nobody underneath these trains people who might have tried to escape and then the trains possibility rolled on top of them. Theyve had cadaver dogs out on the scene this morning. In addition to the fire rescue personnel, the ntsb is here. Theyve got a very big investigation. They got more than 140 people injured out of 243 that were on board the train. The train derailed around 9 20 last night. This was a four alarm fire rescue response and what they call a level three mass casualty response. With so many people injured. Six fatalities that we know of at this point. The concern is that number might rise throughout the day. The focus of the ntsb is theyre going to look at all things that could have contributed to this crash. Mechanical as well as human factors. They want to look at speed, condition of the tracks the performance of the engineer and also of the other personnel who were on board and may have witnessed something. Did they deploy emergency brakes . If so, why . We know this train was going into a very important curve. There should be speed restrictions on that curve. So the question this morning continues to be, what exactly caused this crash. We dont have any answers yet. That could take weeks if not months. Back to you. All right. Tom costello in the sky for us thanks so much. This is one of the busiest train corridors not only in the United States but in the world. This is kind of we have an animation that shows basically what happened. The train had just left the scheduled stop at philadelphias 30th street station. When it turned a curve and derailed. There was a slight curve where the conductors are told to the engineers are told to slow down the trains on those curves. It ripped the steel rails from the tracks when it derailed. An fbi spokesperson says theres no evidence of foul play at this time. Now, nbc news producer Janelle Richards who works with us on nightly news primarily was on board the train. Heres what she told matt earlier this morning. The car that i was in was standing up straight and as quickly as it happened, it stopped just as fast. And i remember just sitting there for a second thinking i cannot believe that just happened. We just this train just crashed. And then once smoke started filling the car, i thought i got to get out of here. Were glad janelle is okay. Shes withone of the many incredible stories of survivors were hearing this morning. Ironically there was a crash back in 1943 less than a mile from that. It was the frankford junction train crash. Along from the pennsylvania railroad. 79 people were killed in that. Interesting. Jeff rossen will talk about this. I covered a train accident in illinois, i guess it would have been 1999, 2000. A group of girl scouts on the train. It was in the middle of the night, the dead of winter. I always wondered after seeing that first hand as a reporter how do you get out of a train accident with your children on board. Its dark, youre afraid. Congressman Patrick Murphy talked about hearing people screaming in the chaos. When i saw the breaking news last night. All you could see was black for awhile. And flashing. Dozens of flashlights. Such a stirring and striking image. Over live wires. Live wires, the chaos the fear the terror. You think how do you get out of a situation like that. Yeah. Well its rare and we hope it never happens to you but today investigative contributor jeff rossen told us how to get out alive if you ever happen to be in a train crash. Every train in the country has emergency signs. If you see the sign, you can even open the main door of the train you came in on and follow those instructions. Reporter so even if the conductor and engineer are too chaotic to open the door, you can open it yourself. Absolutely. Reporter can i try . Yes. Reporter lift and pull open and push this red handle down. And the door is released. And i can open it the rest of the way. By the way, this is a pretty big drop here so you want to be careful getting out. Every train has emergency exit windows. Take the handle, pull it. Youll pull all the rubber from that window. Grab the handle. Pull the window towards you and then you could go out the window. Remember its still a seven to eight foot drop to the ground. Reporter recently we filled this car with smoke to show you. You want get on the floor. This is where you can breathe. You want to get down here and follow the striping on the floor. We have glow in the dark striping on the floor. You want to get to the door to the end of the car, where your exit is. Thats good advice. Would be easier in a simulated situation. God only knows how it was inside the train last night. In this one trains tumbled. So bodies were flying everywhere. In jeffs piece he talked about when you get on a plane or train, to count the number of rows between you and the exits. Youre not thinking fatally, but you should have Something Like that in your mind. I count. Not on a train, but on a plane i do. And the same thing with a hotel. I look and count doors to the stairway. Im paranoid. Its just thinking through. You do fire drills with your kids in the home. Obviously the odds are thank goodness the odds are low it would happen. But be prepared. All about seat belts and things to put off to another day while we worry about these families. We want to transition and give a little light this morning, right . Yeah. Its an incredible story. A heartwarming story. Through pain and adversity, sometimes there is light. Most times there is light. Three years ago this woman in florida, her name is melissa. She was a victim of domestic violence. And she was severely injured, actually stabbed 30 times by a former boyfriend. The details are even hard to say out loud, but First Responder was a paramedic named cameron who helped save her life. Well, as i said, through pain and hard times sometimes theres light and beauty. Melissa and cameron started dating soon after. And melissa was asked to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at monday nights Tampa Bay Rays game. She didnt know cameron was waiting to surprise her with an engagement ring. The baseball said will you marry me. The baseball had it on there. That was a beautiful moment there. He had a good pitch. Look at her. And she said yes. Fantastic. Were happy for them. What a happy ending there. Terrific. This is an interesting story. I think a lot of parents maybe have dealt with the situation when youre booking a flight for example. Oh, were not doing that story. I guess not. Were not doing that story. But nobody told me. And its not just parents. Because i traveled with four kids. So theres a dad whos very upset because he says he had to pay 88 to in order to be able to be seated with his daughter. When he went online to book his flight, he said that it showed that there were no two seats together. Ive seen that. You see that online a lot. The advice is to get on the phone and talk to a representative. But you get to the airport, you can do it. If it shows its fully booked, its fully booked. Instead he said he ended up booking two coach seats on a delta flight. But in order to get the two seats together, he had to pay the extra 88 in order to be seated next to her daughter. A 4yearold. Exactly. He could have gone to the gate agent but he decided im just going to do it to make sure i have those two seats together and pay the fee. So now hes upset because hes saying he paid the 88 but when he boarded that flight, he said the flight was vacant. He said there were plenty of empty seats, lots of them available in coach. So he hadnt needed to pay that 88. So heres what the dad frank said happened after the incident, apparently. Okay. They apologized. I felt the apology was sincere. He said this is contrary to deltas policy and that the ticket agent should have changed my seats there no questions asked. I dont think its unreasonable expectation to put a parent and a toddler or a child together. Amen. Absolutely. Thats kind of a basic there. This happens to us all the time. Especially if you have more than one kid. We have four, three nieces and a nephew. Its impossible. And i travel on my vacations with them. It happens with you and lucy and george. All the time. But you can ask people to change seats. Not always. Not always working out that way. And you dont want to be put in that position where you have to ask. Then its on you and that other person. Were talking little kids. Sometimes the flight attendants will ask and will help facilitate the movement, but not always. You know what does work . You bring george next to the counter. You sure you want to sit next to this guy . Thats all for you. Thats the nick roker move. Make the kid the least appealing individual on the planet. George is great. Really quickly delta said we strive to ensure that every customer has a great experience with delta. We regret that mr. Strongs experience did not live up to our standards. Were working with the customer to remedy the situation. He needs his 88 bucks back. And they need a policy. Parents with children, come on. Were going to get on that. Were going to make that happen. All right. Lets look right now. Texas, a lot of wet weather. Weve had flooding flood watches flood warnings. And theyre going to continue because weve got this rain just training in here. 23 Million People at risk. Heavy rain develops for much of Central Texas and moves into oklahoma. Were watching this all day today. Just the rain continuing to come in here. And thats going to bring the heavy showers and thunderstorms. Next 48 hours some areas will be picking up 2 to 3 inches of rain. But locally there could b good morning. Im meteorologist bill henley. A blustery day. Gusty winds but bright sunshine. Temperatures much cooler than yesterday. Almost 20 degrees cooler this afternoon. Chillier tomorrow morning. Down into the 40s to start with. Really comfortable thursday with low humidity, 75 degrees. Pretty nice on friday, too. Well start with lots of sunshine. Late in the day clouds will be moving in.

It was here to inspire kids, make people feel good about themselves and those kids grew up and passed it onto their kids. Hip hop is just growing and growing. I read a review of your new album in the Associated Press. From start to finish the ultra smooth snoop dogg doesnt lose a step. And he goes on its like, preach. Its interesting youve not been afraid to go into reggae. Youve not limited yourself. Whats been the catalyst for that . What pushes you . It has to feel good to me. Anything that i do has to be fun based and has to feel good. And the music that i select to make is always based on whats not out there. I dont ever like making whats out there. I want to complement the industry by providing whats missing. And well look at your video peaches and cream, the single off bush. I think people will see its like a 70s disco vibe. Is that fair to say . Thats so fair to say. Something about that time period where music felt good and was fun. People went to the clubs they partied and they just i was brought up in that era. So i always wanted to make records that felt like when i was a kid. And youre singing. Youve got collaborations. Uncle charlie, pharrell back with you again. Is this exactly where you want to be musically . This is the best place i could be in my musical career because i feel like ive been o a roller coaster. Im finally in a position where the coaster is riding smooth because i can make decisions that feel good to me. Nobody is making decisions but me. I love when pharrell said the album is so good it makes him mad. Because its better than his album. He wishes he made it for himself. Thats the energy we give to each other. When we work, we dont hold back. We leave it all on the field. So i feel like when pharrell went into this project with me we both love what we do. To give our best, thats what we push to do. And you push your kids to give their best as well. Youve got a football star. Im a fan of your daughter. Shes a survivor. Shes so inspirational. How do you rate yourself as a dad . Well, i think im about a sevenplus. I got three things i can work on. About but i feel like my relationship with my kids is more important than anything. Its a friendship relationship. Its based on me being a father, a mentor and a friend. To where they can always talk to me and feel they dont have to run away from me but run to me. And youre a grandfather now. You got a grandson zion. Congratulations. Thank you. What kind of grand dad will you be . A gullible, get away with everything kind of grandpa. You know thats the Third Generation of what we doing. Its just a spark of joy just to look in his eyes and be able to hold him. I thank my oldest son for making me a grandfather. I thank you for your instagram account. I get up every morning before i read the wall street journal i check so see what snoop dogg has done the night before. Can we show my favorite picture . Your daughter doesnt like it. I sent this out saying this is my current mood. I used a picture of snoop for it. Tweet it out again. I tweet this out regularly saying this is my mood. Whats going on in this picture, man . Thats me waking up from a rough night. Its like, you know when you go to your mother and say can i have some lunch money and she look in her purse and be like. Thats what that is. Well if you want to laugh go to snoops instagram page. It will give you joy. Thank you. So good to have you. Congratulations on the album. Its called bush and its out right now.

But the number of available organs is only a tiny traction of that. For one High School Coach who had a genetic condition that required a liver transplant, he didnt have to look any further than his own football team. Reporter for 40 years John Mcwilliams has been coaching High School Football in texas. You know, when you can watch kids be successful, any time theyre having success and enjoying what theyre doing, you know youve reached them at least in some way. Reporter but this offensive line coach suddenly found himself on the defensive. After years of deteriorating health, doctors at the mayo clinic in minnesota diagnosed him with familial amyloidosis that effects the liver. The liver makes an abnormal protein. And this protein deposits in other tissues. Reporter that protein threatens to take down coach macks heart. If we do too much longer it will progress to where we cant reverse the disease or make his quality of life acceptable. Reporter so his medical team drafted a game plan to tackle the problem. Starting with a new liver. Coach mack asked family, friends and coworkers at his school where he teaches biology. We were all sitting in there and i kind of said guys, if anybody has o blood, if anybody would like to donate a portion of their liver to me, id be happy to accept it. Reporter fellow coach Matthew Buehler was there that day. His o blood made him ideal for the position. Any time theres an injury in football, the next man up. My name was called to do something great. So i felt compelled. Reporter coach buehler whos a newlywed put his life on hold. Losing 30 pounds so his body mass index so it matched coach mack. And traveling with his new bride. I said she doesnt need a honeymoon. She got to come to minnesota twice. Reporter the big day arrives. They do final check ins. And then head to the operating room. Say a prayer. Lets get it done. What youre going to feel here is a sting in your lower back. Reporter if youre squeamish look away. Surgeons remove 60 of his liver. The rest will grow back. The liver is examined placed on ice, and rushed to a separate operating room where coach mack away. And then touchdown. Doctors hope this new liver will stop production of that harmful protein in coach macks body. But this liver chain is not over. Theres a third person a stranger whos going to receive coach macks old liver. His liver could work fine for decades in the body of an older individual. So he was willing to share. Its taken 60 years for it to create the problems in me. And most people dont live to be 110, 120 years old. So they can survive with my liver. Reporter that survivor is 59yearold rudy meyers. A man with liver cirrhosis. He learned he will receive the domino transplant four days ago. I have no idea what a domino was other than a pizza. Reporter its finally time to see the two coaches. I love you very much. Go see your husband. All three men have weeks of recovery ahead before theyre officially in the end zone. I want you to take it easy though. Reporter but thanks to two generous liver handoffs, this team is favored to win. So great. And all three men now recovering at home.

It all happened around 9 30 last night near wheatsheaf lane. Basic tram train number 188 just left 30th street station bound for new york city when it derailed near a curb in the tracks. Taking a live look at 30th street station where many passengers were stranded here overnight.

One of those was rebecca bib from virginia on her way up through philadelphia to new york to see her grand children. She said she has no actual recollection of the accident and her memory is starting to come to her hours after the accident. When i started hearing people i was on the side. Someone told me i had been delirious and they carried me off. My shoes are not my shoes. Somewhere i lost my shoes. A lady gave me her shoes. A policeman walked me from beside the train track to the sidewalk. Reporter the red cross says this is sort of an inexact science. They know how many people were on that amtrak train, the number of people that are coming here for assistance that can ebb and blow. They are estimating about 80 people but trying to update the count and they anticipate a few more folks as they had more extended eded examine nations.

Now well hear from amtrak board member and Board Chairman. Thank you. Let me start by saying how deeply saddened we all are at amtrak for the life that occurred on train 188 in north philadelphia last evening. Our first and major priority will be our customers and employees affected wi this tragedy. We established an 800 number that i know has been mentioned. Were setting up a Family Assistance Center here in philadelphia. A thorough investigation will take place from this incident led by the ntsb and amtrak will do everything to assist in that investigation and brought every resource to support that effort. This is the amtrak family. Were very saddened by whats occurred and do everything in our power to work with the mayors office, ntsb and all authorities to do Everything Possible in dealing with this tragedy. Thank you. Spell your name. Coscia. Thank you. I think you can see given the level of representation i want to first and foremost thank the ntsb. Having the board chair and other personnel but the Board Chairman of amtrak on scene again demonstrates the level of concern and commitment that amtrak is demonstrating as well as ntsb. All of our other partners here on site the level of coordination here is superior and we will continue to do all that we can until we are assured we have accounted for all of the people we believe on that train. With all those members having spoken on behalf of the entire city of philadelphia and other individuals ive talked to or communicated with the mayor in washd whom i talked to last night. The potential of washington, d. C. Residents being on that train is possible as it was a washington started train to new york city. As well as communicated with mayor bill de blasio in new york city as well. We express our deepest sorrow. Well do everything we can to assist families who have loved ones on that particular train and whatever their circumstance and condition but with the six confirmed deceased were heartbroken at whats happened here. Weve not experienced anything like this in modern times. Well get to the bottom and figure out what happened, why it happened. That will take some time. With that well be glad to try to answer any questions this you might have. How many are unaccounted for right now . Let me give you additional piece of information. Governor wolf was here last night. Hes ordered state flags to be flown at half mass and ive issued the order for city of philadelphia flags as well out of respect to the victims. [ inaudible question ] still in process. I was just at the site ten minutes ago. How many are missing or unaccounted for . We dont have an accurate count. Im not in a position to get into those details. You still not have everyone accounted for 12 plus hours later . Were hearing theres still some unaccounted for . You dont have everyone accounted for . We have not matched the manifest we received from amtrak with the patient or hospital information that hospitals sign personnel to our emergency Operation Center last night. That is a very tedious process dealing with individuals many of whom we have no idea who they are until they selfidentify. We very well could have had people who did not even check in with us. Theres also the possibility that some people who were supposed to be on that train as any of us always know some people just miss their train or end uptaking a different train or Something Like that. Were not going to get into the hard specifics of who do we have who do we not have until we know for sure. We have to be sensitive to people who may have had Family Member on that train. Can you confirm that four bodies had been removed from the wreckage and tahat responders are working to get one more out . What i can confirm is what i confirmed earlier. Theres six deceased. Im not going to get into where they were and transported. We have six deceased. I heard a voice over here. Have the conductor been interviewed yet . As best information as i know the conductor was injured to some extent received medical treatment and is either has or is giving a statement or report to the philadelphia Police Department. I have no further information about the conductor or any other amtrak personnel. Is there anything you can give us about the preliminary investigation to what youre saying could have gone wrong . Were there problems going into that curve . Thank you. The question is do we have any preliminary information about the curve . No. Just as weve said were just getting here. Our purpose for being here on site is to collect the perishable evidence. The information that will go away with the passage of time. Were going to go in and start collecting information. What was the train speed, what was the speed limit on that curve. Thats part of the investigation is to carefully document that. [ inaudible question ] if you will when you have a question raise your hand state your name and affiliation once we call on you and that will make it a little more organized. The question is that what can we get from those event recorders . We can get a lot of information. Its my understanding we have already recovered those. They will be read out.

Youre doing an investigation but theres also a scene. Its a devastating scene. There are many First Responders out there that are working they are examining the equipment to see if theres anyone else in the rail cars. The search and recovery effort will take precedence over our accident investigation. We expect to get in there very soon.

Just because we havent gotten a real up close and personal view of the actual weve gone out and examined. Weve done a good look over of the scene, but we have not started to very carefully document the wreckage at this point, but we will. Last question.
