But now why many Young Americans are no hurry to take the wheel. Its thursday, may 14th. Captions paid for by abc, inc. From abc news this is world news now. Good morning on this busy thursday. Im marci gonzales. Im t. J. Holmes. Busy once again because weve got details throughout the day yesterday. Here we are some 24 plus hours after that tragedy on the track essentially shocking new Details Behind this amtrak disaster that happened in philly. Investigates are revealing the train was actually flying down the tracks topping 100 miles an hour. More than twice as fast as it should have been going on the curve where it derailed killing 7 people. The engineer at the helm is not saying much but letting his lawyer do the talking. Abcs karen can traverse has the latest. Good morning, karen. Good morning, marci and t. J. That lawyer tells abc news his sclint is injured and distraught. He says bastion has norection of the accident or anything usual. Investigators say its a top priority to sit down with bastion and the rest of the crew to piece together exactly what happened before that train derailed. Speed appears to be a factor in tuesdays deadly amtrak accident. When the engineer induced brake application was applied. The train was traveling at approximately 106 Miles Per Hour. The engineer is identified as 32yearold brandon bastion of queens new york. His lawyer told abc news he suffered injuries 14 staples in his head and stitches in his leg. He says bastion spoke to police while he was in the hospital receiving treatment and submit the a blood sample for testing i asked him if he had nel medical issues. He said he had no none. Hes on no medications. He said he had he has no Health Issues to speak of. And just has no explanation. The rail lines north of philadelphias 30th street station are straight with a speed limit of 0 Miles Per Hour but approaching the frankford neighborhood a left corner. The speed is cut to 50 Miles Per Hour. When amtrak train 188 got to that spot it was traveling more than twice that speed. Bastion applied the emergency brake but it was too late. In the next three or four seconds the speed of the train could only decrease to 102. It takes a long time and distance to decelerate a train. The train jumps the tracks and leaves them twisted from the force. The 1yearold hitech engine came to rest upright in the dirt. Behind it it the first Passenger Car twisted and mangled. The next three car on their side. The last three still standing. Five of the seven fatalities have been identified. But officials have not given details about the others. Rescue crews have expanded their search area and now using dogs in case there are any potential victims that may have been thrown from the wreckage. T. J. Marci. The priority right now, the friends, family of those victims. We have at least seven killed hundreds more injured. But at the same time this is the busiest rail line in the country. What are we talking about here in terms of disruptions over next couple days even into the weeks . Very significant disruptions t. J. There was no service yesterday between philadelphia and new york city on amtrak lines, the same for today thursday. There was service between washington, d. C. And philadelphia but it was limited and, of course, there were cancellations and a lot of delays. This is the busiest stretch of amtrak rail in the country. On any different day between boston and washington, d. C. , 2200 trains are in service. Its a very big deal and Officials Say that this is going to be a very thorough investigation but theyre also dealing with very mangled tracks and a lot of debris and this could take awhile and service could take a long time to get back up to normal.

Recapping our top story now, federal investigators say the amtrak train that crashed in philadelphia was going 106 miles an lawyer on a curve where the speed limit was 50 miles an hour. The engineer youre seeinging there survived but says he has no recollection of the incident. Five of the seven people dead have been identified including a 20yearold on leave from the naval academy. We turn now to folks getting behind the wheel. You want to avoid an accident when youre driving around. But particularly a concern for inexperienced drivers. It is. But more and more these days young people who could be getting their drivers licenses are choosing not to. For decades, getting a license has been a rite of passage and first taste of freedom for teenagers. Fast forward to today and Research Shows a growing number of teens just dont have the drive to drive. I didnt really care about getting my drivers license. Chris sandoval finally has her learns permit but at 23 still no license. Shes not alone. A study found that fewer than half of teens get their drivers license within a year of reaching the minimum age. A similar study by the university of michigan looks at why theyre in no rush. They told us that they were too busy or didnt have enough time to do it. The studies found the cost of vehicles gas and insurance have a lot to do with it. Plus its just easiest to get around now in part because of car Services Like uber. While texting and social media are often associated with problems behind the wheel, it turns out they may be part of the reason teens are less interested in driving they have other ways of staying connected with their friends now. Experts say there are risks to this trend. Most states have restrictions for 16 and 17yearold drivers that older first time drivers get to avoid. For the past decade weve seen teen driver deaths come down by almost 50 as a result primarily of those drivers licenses restrictions. Were concerned if many of the teenagers wait to get their licenses and dont take advantage of the benefits. Sandoval says safety is one of the reasons shes glad she put the brakes on driving till now. Learning to drive and getting my drivers license as an adult im moral cautious about what i do on the road because i understand the consequence of the my actions. I thought it was really interesting because kids are on social media they dont feel like they have to hang out. Come on. Lets hop in the car and raise havoc. Look at that. Lets go for a ride after the show here. Thats cruising. I dont know about this. This is a terrible idea. Look like i just kidnapped you actually. Thats not a good look. Coming up a little later in the show, taking you inside a hidden world where ginger zee is to give you a never before seen. Look at some of the most secluded areas on the planet. First out of this world food pairings dreamt up by famed super computer watson. Can he cook dinner . Apparently so. Ize wildly weird and surprisingly wonderful pairings coming up in our insomniac kitchen. Youre watching world news now. All right. Chefs out there, the key to success in the kitchen is improvisation. But some ingredients like strawberries mushrooms dont go together. They dont go the together right . Apparently they do. Ibm teamed up with chefs at the institute of Culinary Education for a cooking experiment. Trina trinh found out what happens when a computer makes dinner. If a computer can win jeopardy could it also be the next top chef . Thats the question ibm engineers set out to answer was watson the cognitive computing system. We thought it would be interesting to see if watson could help human beings come up with new ideas never seen before. That includes new ideas in the kitchen. What do you get when watson says you can make something with beef, chocolate and edamame . First, it helps to understand how cognitive computing systems would. Systems arent necessarily programmed as much as they are taught. They learn from interactions with people. They read text. They read natural language just like you or i do. Watson read recipes thousands of them. That taught the system about what ingredients are commonly used together. We gave it information about the underlying chemistry of those ingredients. It knows about the flavor compounds and how we might respond to them. Watson came up with totally new ingredient pafrgs that real life chefs ran with. Were in the kitchen with chef james. Were going to make austrian chocolate burrito. This is kind of crazy. You have beef chocolate, in a burrito together. With oranges, apricot, vanilla. And edamame. Two different types of cheeses. Im going to trust you with this one. Well get our beef going. Once the meat starts to get some color, well make our first unexpected step with a bit of cinnamon. Are you serious . Wow. This was one of watsons ideas. I would never think to add cinnamon to beef. Thats so cool. For the sauce, how about melted chocolate with pureed and pri could thes and vanilla bean. It may not be your typical buffer rit toe, but thats the point. He came up with the ideas for all these wonderful ingredients. Without james, all you would have is a pile of ingredients. A collaboration with delicious results. All right. What have we got going on here . I brought burritos in for you guys to try. It smells good. I promise you it is not what you would expect but its still pretty good. What are some of these other combinations . So some really crazy combinations here which are not expected. But end up tasting pretty good in this official cookbook. This is the cognitive cookbook with chef watson. This is pretty good. Right . I cant place it. Its not bad. I like it. Tina thank you so much. Well be right back. Leftovers. The unsung hero of meals. They get reheated. Renuked. And rebaked. And when leftovers are done. Theres always stuff left over. New dawn platinum power clean calls dibs on those. It powers through tough, driedon messes in seconds. Even 48 hour stuckon food. So go ahead, triple that recipe a drop of dawn and grease is gone.

We begin with the focus on speed as investigators try to get to the bottom of that deadly amtrak crash in philadelphia. We now know the speed of that train. It was going over 100 miles an hour. Thing is, it was in a 50mileanhour zone at the time. Thats when all seven cars jumped the tracks. Now the engineer says he doesnt remember a thing about the crash. We get the very latest now from abcs david wright. This is whats left of northeast regional amtrak 188, seven cars tangled on the tracks killing at least seven people, injuring hundreds more. We learned the name of the engineer, 32yearold brandon bastion of queens, new york, an amtrak engineer for the past five years. Police and federal investigators are already questioning him. The question top most on their minds, how come the train clocked 106 miles an hour . Were saying that the speed limit through the curve is 50 miles an hour. The attorney representing the engineer said police grilled his client for six hours, but his client has no recollection of the crash. He remembers driving the train. He remembers going to that area generally. Has absolutely no recollection of the incident or anything unusual. The next thing he recalls is being thrown around coming to, finding his bag, getting his cell phone and dialing 911. Some passengers were simply beyond help. Mostly because the trauma to their heads or their chests was too severe to save them. Their stories are heart wrenching. Among them, Justin Zemser. Two months past his 20th birthday.
