D. d among the seven people confirmed killed when the train jumped the tracks while speeding around a curve. Pat . There are more questions today about why the derailment area doesnt have whats called a positive train control system. The news 4 i team did digging to learn more. The system can automatically sense a speeding train in areas where the speed limit is restricted. The ntsb says it might have saved lives had the system been in place before this derailment happened. Positive train control is designed to prevent derailments due to overspeeding. So this is exactly the type of an accident that positive train control should prevent. Its designed to do that. Congress mandated positive train control after a crash between a Freight Train and a commuter train in california in 2008. The system is used along parts of amtraks northeast corridor but, again, not in the section where the philly derailment took place.

Folks are also talking about this a michigan couple who already had 12 sons welcoming a new Family Member this week another son. Have a look at this. Look at all the boys there. Lucky for them number 13 arrived yesterday and buzzfeed is buzzing with the news. The odds of giving birth to 13 sons in a row, about one in may 30 will be a huge day for former Maryland GovernorMartin Omalley. Thats when he will officially announce that hes running for president president. Omalley will do it in baltimore where he was mayor. Hillary clinton dominates the polls. Omalley is presenting himself as a fresh alternative. Today former u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations john bolton is expected to announce his bid for the republican nomination. Bolton is widely seen as another underdog but his hawkish presence in the race could pull Foreign Policy debates to the right. Bolton served on president george w. Bushs Foreign Policy team and was a staunch advocate for the iraq war. His decision to run comes just as the iraq war he favored is emerging as an issue in the republican campaign. That brings us to former Florida Governor jeb bush. Hes already under scrutiny for a series of conflicting answers about how he would have handled the iraq war. Now he appears to have accidentally let some big news slip. Take a listen. Im running for president in 2016 and the focus is going to be about how we if i run, how do you create high sustained economic growth. You heard it. Bush seems to have gotten a little ahead of himself there. He has not formally announced hes running for president yet he all but said it to reporters yesterday then tried to correct himself. Staying unofficial for as long as possible can have big benefits. Campaign finance rules dont kick in for bush until he officially declared. Right now, president obama is at camp david meeting with arab leaders. There are a lot of concerns among arab nations about whether a nuclear deal with iran will spark an arms race in the middle east. In whats been described as a snub only two of the six nations invited sent top leaders to sit down with the president. Well hear from president obama this afternoon at a press conference. News that could give starbucks lovers a jolt. Well tell you how hackers are targeting the chains popular mobile payment app and gift cards. Stay with us. Well be back. New information this morning about the engineer of the train that derailed in philadelphia. His name is Brandon Bostian and his Attorney Says he remembers trying to reduce speed as the train entered that curve before he was knocked out and suffered a concussion. He says he remembers nothing about pulling the emergency brake. The death toll stands now at seven. Right now, cranes and heavy equipment are working to right the overturned cars. Nbcs Peter Alexander tells us how this didnt could have been prevented. Reporter in the maimed remains of this amtrak train, an urgent question is the safety of americas rails still on track . While plane crashes have dropped to their lowest level since the 50s, these days youre six times more likely to be killed in a train accident than a plane crash. Last year counting Freight Trains more than 1200 trains jumped the tracks in the u. S. Roughly 100 every month. On a passenger train, you put your safety in the hands of an engineer. The man driving the train tuesday night, Brandon Bostian, was interviewed by Philadelphia Police wednesday. Investigators say his train was going twice the speed limit of 50 miles an hour. The train was traveling at approximately 106 miles per hour. Reporter this train also hit 100 miles an hour twice the posted speed limit when it jumped the rails in spain in 2013. 79 people killed. Speed also to blame in the crash of this new york commuter train that killed four. Unlike on airplanes with two pilots in the cockpit, the train engineer is often alone in the cab, aided only sometimes by something called positive train control, or ptc, an Electronic System which can take control of the train if its traveling too fast or runs through a signal. Sections of amtraks heavily trafficked northeast corridor from new haven, connecticut to boston and philadelphia to washington have ptc installed. But not on the stretch of track where amtrak train 188 took a curve too quickly. We feel that had such a system been installed in this section of track this accident would not have occurred. Reporter experts say it could have saved lives. We expect to continue to get updates throughout the day from philadelphia. There are a number of ways to stay on top of this story.
