Oh, my god oh, my god reporter an amtrak train traveling from charlotte to new york barrelled through a tractortrailer in the middle of a railroad crossing.

We moved out of the way, it was almost like that sudden jerk or whiplash feeling you get in a car accident. Much more in reporter 212 passengers an eight crew were on board. At least 40 people were taken to nearby hospitals. The accident comes roughly a month after a new york city commuter train slammed into an suv killing the driver of the car and four train passengers.

There are roughly 2,000 accidents at Railroad Crossings each year. Last year 239 people were killed. None of todays injuries appear to be life threatening, what one witness calls a miracle. Stephanie gosk, nbc news, new york. Turning now to the race for 2016. Pressure is mounting on Hillary Clinton to say more about why she opted to use a private email account as opposed to government email for her official business as secretary of state. So far shes only made a brief twitter reference. So when she spoke at a highprofile event here in new york today, there was anticipation she might address the elephant in the room. We get more from nbcs andrea mitchell. Reporter Hillary Clinton rolling out a major study on womens inequality today but still ducking questions about the private email system she used while secretary of state. Will you explain the email, secretary clinton . Reporter todays event was to build momentum toward announcing her candidacy next month, a campaign highlighting her as an advocate of womens rights. Ever since a speech in beijing 20 years ago. Human rights are womens rights, and womens rights are human rights once and for all. Today, two decades later its clear, were not there yet. Reporter instead her big moment was overshadowed by the email controversy. Party leaders from the president on down are not rushing to her defense. Yes, the president was aware of her email address. He traded emails with her. That shouldnt be a surprise. But the president was not aware of the fact this was a personal email server and that this was the email address that she was using exclusively. Reporter also undercutting her womens rights message, millions of dollars saudi arabia and other countries that permit violence against women donated to her family foundation. Bill clinton also with her today said saturday as long as the money is disclosed people can decide. I believe weve done a lot more good than harm. And i believe this is a good thing. Reporter but all the criticism has enflamed clinton partisans. Theres always going to be a distraction in clinton land. There never is a time when theres not. Ive lived through this for 20 years. Dont you think that next week therell be some other thing that theyll crop up . And then they theyll run with it. Its not going to ever change. Reporter despite the latest controversy, clinton holds an extraordinary 86 support among democratic primary voters in our new nbc news the wall street journal poll. But Party Leaders worry about the way her circle has stonewalled and want her to r this up. There are reports she do that in a press con later this week. Andrea mitchell, thank you. With a deadline fa approaching with a nuclear deal with iran, Senate Republicans did what they might call an end around. Warning any potential deal may not stick. Now the white house is accusing the gop of interfering. Nbcs Peter Alexander tells us more. Reporter in the oval office this afternoon president obama ridiculed Senate Republicans for reaching out to one of americas enemies. I think its somewhat ironic to see some members of congress wanting to make common cause with the hardliners in iran. Reporter today, this letter signed by 47 republican senators was sent to leaders of the Islamic Republic of iran, but its message was directed at the white house. The letter patronizing iranian leaders for not understanding the u. S. Constitution. And warns that any Nuclear Deal Reached between the president and u. S. Allies could be undone if it isnt approved by congress. The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen they wrote, and future congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time. This letter is about nothing more than stopping iran from getting a nuclear bomb. The United States and our allies cannot live with a nuclear iran. Reporter in an exclusive interview with nbc news last week, irans foreign minister said he would not interfere in u. S. Politics. I read the american constitution. I believe the executive has the prerogative over Foreign Policy and for any Foreign Government it has to be with the executive. Thats the onl international affairs. Reporter tonight zarif called the letter from senators a propaganda ploy. White house aides say its the latest in a partisan strategy to undermine the president s ability to conduct Foreign Policy. Lester. Pet jurors in the Boston Marathon bombing trial got a look at video which prosecutors say shows the defendant red handed planting a bomb at the scene while survivors of the terrorist attack gave some heart wrenching testimony. Nbcs Pete Williams was in the courtroom today. Reporter just after the second marathon explosion, the fbi says video caught Dzhokhar Tsarnaev running away while firefighters rushed toward the blast seen to help. About 12 minutes before the bombings a surveillance camera mounted on this corner captured video of two men carrying backpacks. They were on the marathon route about two and a half blocks from where the first bomb went off. Jurors saw that video today as well as pictures that the fbi says shows tsarnaev at the site. Of the second bombing leaving just before the blast. Among those killed a student from china, her close friend had to talk her into watching the marathon. Severely wou tearfully recalled waking in the hospital and saying, tell the nurse and doctors and everyone to look for her. And a cancer nurse said marathon day was the last time she did anything on two legs. Both she and her newlywed husband patrick lost their left legs in the bombings. Last month doctors got permission to remove her other leg also badly injured. I felt like i was on a rocket. And when she saw her husband on the ground, i thought he was going to bleed to death on the sidewalk. But Dzhokhar Tsarnaev barely an hour after running away from the bombing, the fbi says, was in a Grocery Store calmly buying milk. Pete williams, nbc news, boston.
