Good evening. And we begin this wednesday night with that horrific scene. Familiar investigators are there at this hour. A commuter train with hundreds on board, colliding with an suv driven by a young mother. The suv and the train exploding into flames. These are the moments right after. Tonight, federal authorities have just revealed that 400 feet of electrified rail pierced the rail car, breaking into the train with passengers inside. Moments after impact this cell phone footage showing firefighters going in passengering trying to get out. Not everyone survived this. The thick black smoke engulfing the train. The heat so intense, the windows melting. And from ail above, you can see what was left of the suv. The young mother did not survive. Tonight, at least six dead and the major question why was that suv on the tracks . Abcs linsey davis on the scene tonight, leadings off. Reporter tonight, a crane in place to remove the wreckage of that car. The charred aftermath of what started out as any other come mute home after a long days work. The train departing from manhattans Grand Central terminal yesterday at 5 44 p. M. Explosion on the tracks. Reporter 45 minutes into the trip, disaster. The train rolling down the tracks at 58 miles per hour, approaching a railroad crossing. Just at that moment, a black suv tries to cross but the gate comes down, stopping it. The train, unable to slow down, keeps coming. Ellen brody, a mother of three, behind the wheel of that suv. Rick hope just behind her on the road. The gate came down and hit the back of the car in front of me. She was trying to make it to the other side. Reporter but she didnt make it. The train hit her suv, pushing it 10,000 feet, bursting into flames. The electrified third rail ripped from the ground, piercing the train itself. About 400 feet of this third rail was shoved into mostly the first rail car but at least one piece penetrated over into the second rail car. Reporter chris gross was riding in the first train car. I was jolted out of my seat. Reporter and then what . Flames. I saw people behind me in the car falling over each other. Reporter smoke pours out of the train. The fire so hot, the windows melted. Inside, chaos. The moment after impact, kind of set the scene. People were yelling for a fire extinguisher, call 911. Lot of yelling. Lot of screaming. Reporter further back in the train, confusion, but no panic. Passengers waiting patiently until someone opens a door for them to escape. Today, that suv, barely recognizable. Investigators pouring over the tracks. The conductor miraculously survived but five men riding on that train died. Among them eric vander car and water liedtke. And so did ellen brody on her suv. Why she drove out onto the tracks and couldnt get away, tonight, still a mystery. And linsey is live on the scene tonight. Back to that report. We now learned 400 feet of electrified rail pierced the inside of the train . Reporter thats right, david. Thats a major focus of the investigation at this point. And it gives you an idea of how horrifying it must have been for those passengers on board that train. All right, linsey davis leading us off tonight. Thank you. Now, to the other deadly crash, caught on tape. The passenger jet, just missing a highway and the drivers below. The plane then crashing into the water, tonight, investigators have now recovered the black boxes, and the images out of taiwan are stunning. You can hear the people in the car, witnessing it all, screaming. Look at this. Crashing into a river, just beside the highway. Later, rescuers surrounding the wreckage searching for survivors. Incredibly many people were actually able to make it out of the plane. Picking a toddler to safety later, flight in that raft. Tonight, the pie lot yelling may day in the air, less than four minutes, and heres abcs david kerley. Reporter the screams of drivers as this plane goes down. [ screaming ] three different dash cams capture the remarkable and horrific scene. The final seconds of the trans asia turbo props flight. Look. The plane appears to be level. Suddenly its left wing dips. Its out of control. Violently impacting with the bridge before crashing into the river in taiwans capital. Crews working in the Shallow Water are able to rescue 15 people. Among them four children, including a 2yearold. Rescuers cradle a child, gently making the move onto a boat and safety away from the wreckage. But the other 43 on board are dead or missing. The fuselage possibly holding victims, pulled from the river in darkness. This nearly new europeanbuilt atr72 had just taken off when the pilot radioed mayday and engine trouble. Mayday. Mayday. Engine flame out. Reporter in the air for less than four minutes. The dramatic pictures frame by frame provide plenty of clues. The right engine appears to still be spinning but the left appears to be feathered and the engine probably is not spinning on the lefthand side. Reporter our aviation consultant Steve Ganyard is a former crash investigator. But at this point, theyre looking to try to clear the obstacles, not run into these apartment buildings and just a moments inattention at that slow air speed with an engine out leads to disaster. Reporter this is the second deadly crash for trans air in less than a year. In this case, the pilot apparently had little time or distance to save his plane and all of his passengers. It was fortunate in that if if they had to crash some place, the river was probably the safest in the middle of a very populous city. Reporter the airline says it will check the engines of all of its similar aircraft. The black boxes have been recovered. It should give us a good idea why this plane went down so dramatically. David . David kerley tonight, david, thank you. And now, the swift retaliation this evening. It came just hours after that brutal murder by isis putting that jordanian pilot in a cage a crowd watching as they set fire. Just hours later, jordan killing proprisoners including the woman isis wanted freed. Abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross with the Swift Response and thousand the concern here at home. Reporter today was a day for revenge in jordan. Morning prayers had just begun as the bodies of two al qaeda prisoners were removed from the prison where they had been hanged. One of them was the failed female suicide bomber, sajida al rashawi, who isis wanted freed in a prisoner swap. Her execution was ordered by the king, hours after the brutal murder of the jordanian pilot by isis was made public. What happened yesterday with the death of our pilot definitely angered us, angered his majesty. Reporter and now it could be a turning point in the effort against isis. With the u. S. Hoping that jordan will use its highly touted special forces to provide on the ground intelligence in the isis strondhold of raqqa and elsewhere, looking for other hostages and the illusive jihad john. Ground intelligence the u. S. Does not currently have. This is particularly significant because the most effective way to locate other hostages will be through the use of on the ground resources. Reporter and in particular any information on the 26yearold american woman, aid worker, who has been held hostage by isis for almost a year and a half david. Brian ross with us again tonight.
