Some of the victims had to be cut from the mangled wreckage. The bus carrying around 50 people was believed to be headed to a biloxi casino when it happened. Gabe gutierrez has details. We need an ambulance. Were going to need some ambulances. Reporter after the collision, utter chaos. Theres multiple people all over. Reporter Authorities Say a Freight Train heading bo crossing in downtown biloxi just after 2 00 p. M. Local time. The bus dragged 300 feet down the tracks. We had two victims that had to be extricated. We had to use the jaws of life. Reporter police say about 50 people were on the bus. Most were injured. 35 people rushed to the hospital. At least four are dead. Theres one underneath the train. Reporter emergency crews scrambled to the scene in less than two minutes. Some of the injured including many Senior Citizens were pulled out through the buss windows and air lifted to the hospital. Witnesses say the bus got stuck on the tracks. Its unclear why. Bodies come flying out of the bus. They went over the top of the bus, under the bus, under the train. Peoples arms and legs. Its horrific. Reporter charter buses carry customers to casinos in biloxi. This one started the trip in austin, texas. Ive never seen anything like this. Ive been out here 50 years. Reporter authorities are trying to find out what went wrong as doctors treat the injured. Gabe gutierrez, nbc news. Now to the intense battle raging over health care. Republicans have released their own replacement plan. The new proposal is taking fire and not just from democrats. A lot of americans are wondering what does it mean for us. Here is tom costello with some answers. Reporter tonight its clear certain elements of obamacare are here to stay. People with preexisting conditions will still be able to buy insurance. Children 26 and under can stay on their parents insurance. There will be no lifetime maximum on insurance benefits. For anyone who pays for obamacare coverage, many more questions. In knoxville, musician gray is scraping by on less than 30,000 a year. Born with a painful skin condition, he receives roughly 4200 a year in subsidies to pay for insurance. Under the republican plan he would get 3,000 in tax credits to buy insurance. He only pays 1,000 in federal taxes. The government would give him a check for the balance. I dont really see a tax credit as being enough to offset the cost of buying insurance on the private market. Reporter under the republican plan, anyone 30 and under would get a 2,000 tax credit. 60 and older would get 4,000 credit. Theres no requirement to buy insurance but to encourage people the plan would impose a 30 penalty on anyone who lets coverage lapse. A family with 10,000 premiums could pay another 3,000 penalty. The losers in this are lower income people who need Financial Assistance to buy coverage affordable for them. Reporter republicans want the freeze medicaid pay for the coverage. Many analysts say it wont be enough. This is the American Health care act. Reporter tonight Republican Leaders are defending the plan from fiscal conservatives who say its too generous and democrats who say average americans will pay the price. Trumpcare means higher cost for less health care. Plain and simple. Its a complicated process but its simple. Its called good health care. Reporter Vice President pence said republicans are open to negotiating changes to the plan but theres big opposition in republican circles not to mention among democrats and no estimate of what it will cost and its in trouble among republicans. Thanks very much. Now to that bombshell from wikileaks that claims it used cia secret tools to hack certain tvs. It represents another serious breach of u. S. Intelligence data following the nsa documents exposed by edward snowden. For some americans this hits closer to home. Who may have stolen americas secrets this time . Here is peter alexander. Reporter wikileaks posting a giant trove of documents. All of it to spy on their owners. Nearly 9,000 documents that expose Software Tools designed to break into iphone or android and bypass messaging app. One revealing how to eavesdrop on conversations picked up by internet tvs when they appear to be turned off. Even a hack for Microsoft Windows named after a character in a movie. Nbc news hasnt authenticated the documents and wikileaks isnt revealing the source. Tonight the cia isnt [000 06 59;00] computer experts are treating the documents as real as well as the alleged security breach. We have always been worried about spies. Whats different is technology has allowed the fruits of that spying, if you will, to be more powerful in the hands of our adversaries. Reporter the spying tools would have been used for Foreign Surveillance but the alleged breach is raising questions about whether in the hands of cyber criminals americans would be targeted. When you something that is billed as internet connected, be it a home, car, light switch, whatever, just remember that also means hacker connected. Reporter tonight some of americas Top Tech Companies like google and microsoft say they are investigating. U. S. Officials have accused wikileaks of working with spies. Er perfect track record of releasing authentic documents. Lester. Thank you. Theres been another frightening wave of bomb threats at jewish communities and schools. Over a dozen in all across several states forcing evacuations. The mayor of new york said its unlike anything hes ever seen as the fbi tries to find out who is behind it. Here is nbc news justice correspondent pete williams. Reporter police with bomb sniffing dogs searched a Jewish Community in syracuse as it went into lockdown. Just outside of miami a Jewish School was evacuated for two hours. Nervous parents worried about the effect on children. Most are scared. Not sure why this is happening. Why are they being taken out of class . Why are they being targeted . Reporter the Antidefamation League offices in four offices received threats includ we never seen a period of such concentrated threats against the Jewish Community. Just the last few weeks are more troubling than anything ive seen in many years. Reporter 14 bomb threats by phone or email in ten states bringing the total since january to 135. Many were threatened repeatedly. The fbi accused a man of being a copy cat sending eight of those threats to falsely implicate an exgirlfriend. Some are prerecorded, some are emails. All use Computer Software to disguise the source. They believe the government is working hard to stop it. We have every reason to believe they are putting all resources to resolve this issue and apprehend the person or persons responsible. Reporter in rare show of unity, all 100 u. S. Senators signed a letter expressing concern. They are making progress in trying to trace the source but the threats are coming from inside the u. S. Or overseas. Lester. Pete williams with us here in washington. Thanks. Three days after the explosive claim by President Trump that president obama tapped his phones during the campaign, the white house stood its ground saying the president has no regrets about making the claim. Some Top Republicans are pointing out theres still no proof to support the accusation. We get the latest from hallie jackson. Reporter President Trump tonight struggling to shake off a tweet so explosive it wont go away. After he accused president obama of ordering trump tower be wiretapped. Republicans forced to respond. Have you seen any evidence of that . I havent. I have not seen that evidence. I think the president of the united states, who has stated categorically that trump tower was wiretapped, that he should come forward with the information that led him to that conclusion. Reporter even though the prent said saturday, he just found out about the alleged spying, the white house still wont say where he actually found it. Kicking it to congress to investigate instead. He made it clear they have the staff, resources and process. I think thats the appropriate place for this to handle. Why would the president Want Congress to investigate for congress for information he has . I think theres a separation of power. Why expend the resources if the president has it . The department of justice may be involved in an Ongoing Investigation asking congress as a separate body to look into something and add credibility to the look. Reporter on capitol hill. No president can unilaterally say wiretap that citizen. Reporter questions about the unproven claim directed to rob rosenstein. He would lead the investigation into russia and the 2016 campaign after his boss, jeff sessions, recused himself. Today not committing to a special prosecutor. Every investigation conducted by the department of justice is an independent investigation. Reporter as for the wiretap claims, the white house says President Trump has not spoken with his fbi director about them and tonight were learning that director comey has been invited to testify at the first public House Committee hearing on the investigation into russia. That date is march 20th. Lester. Thank you. States of emergency have been declared in counties across several states as Deadly Wildfires rage spreading rapidly trapping people with no way out.
