Alternate plan for septa a and trenton users here from the trenton station, new Jersey Transit the will take shuttle buses over to west trenton. They have beefed up service on the west trenton Regional Rail line but yesterday we ran from 20 to 30 minute delays and those trains were packed to capacity. So expect the same deal to occur again today. Other option is maybe try this one not as many folks use this number b here which is driving to the Cornwells Heights park and ride right there off of 95 and woodhaven road. Septa will have shuttle buses taking folks over to the market frankford line. Heading up to north jersey or new york, northeast corridor trains not operating, new york to philly for amtrak but only option is new Jersey Transit and those trains originating in trenton and up to new york city.

Amtrak ceo ace they hope to have full service back abe have this track fixed by tuesday, all that as the search for answer as to why the trains engineer was speeding up instead of slowing down in the minute before the wreck, as he went into that long curve. We can see the train tilting, approximately 10 degrees to the right. We really want to know his account of what he recalls leading into that tragic event. Then we can start asking specific questions. I think it is really valuable to get his firsthand recollection of what happened here. I mean he was the person operating the train, he can provide us with some good information. Other than the speed of the train itself nothing has stood out. Reporter what you heard Robert Sumwalt there when we can see he was describing to reporters that front facing video camera that was videotaping everything before the wreck shut everything down with the power. And that is how he could see, the speedometer essentially as the train sped up over a hundred miles an hour in those final seconds. Engineers lawyer has talk to the media and he hints that the three twoyear old engineer wont be much help at all since he doesnt remember much of what happened just before the the crash. He is had 14 stape tolls close his head wound. First thing he remembers was waking up and looking for his cell phone to dial 911. Karen and chris.

This is sad news out of the music industry, we have learn that legendary artist bb king has died. He was a 15 time grammy winner who passed away in his sleep in las vegas overnight. Rock and roll hall of famer sole millions of record worldwide and influenced generation of musicians and brought new fans to blues, it was announced two weeks ago he was in home hospice care after suffering from dehydration. He had been opened about his 20 year struggle with diabetes. King of the blues was 89 years old. I have to tell you karen i saw him live in san diego about 23 years ago. The most touching thing was not only how wonderful he was Mountain Mall venue i saw him in after the show he shook everyones hand. You could just form a line, he sat the there at the stage. He was at that time 27 years ago he didnt walk around very much. He just shook everyones hand and said thank you for coming. What an ultimate class act all the way through. He will be missed. It is 4 09. Back here at home six philadelphia drug officers accused of shaking down dealers and stealing money they were all cleared by a jury. So some call this a surprising acquittal of the federal governments case. Sabina kuriakose is live downtown with much more on the verdict, good morning. Reporter good morning. Those six officers are free men after the the jury cleared them of charges that they sold drug money beat suspects and lied to win convictions. The officers, lets look here, you may recognize the photo. We have showed ate lot and winding its way through court. The officer perry bets, lenwood brian reynold, john spies are and michael pfeiffer, they have decade of experience on the force. Federal prosecutors in the 26 count indictment, they say part of the elite narcotics field unit squad stole more than 400,000 in drug money planted evidence and roughed people up. They are accused of dangling one dealer off a high rise balcony. The jury didnt buy any of it. The heres the the defense. Were elated that the jury saw it the way we did. It is a complete vindication of these officers and a complete rejection of the governments case. Our opinion of the problem was that they did not investigate before they indicted and they started to interview witnesses, six months after the indictment and the arrest of these people. When they started to hearing the things from witnesses who were on the scene it didnt bear out the indictment. As a matter of fact it went more toward establishing their innocence and that innocence is different than in the guilty. Innocence mean they have absolutely not done anything wrong beyond a reasonable doubt. Reporter the u. S. Attorneys office stand by its case. They tell us that they are disappointed but that they respect the jurys decision. These officers are cleared free men. They could try to get their jobs back.

There was hope there would be improvement for everybody in Critical Condition especially at Temple University hospital as that didnt turnout to be the case, sadly. Reporter everybody at temple will survive and that was the good news that came out of the morning News Conference but we did find out, why we were here we just did not report it out of the common decency but they moved the the bus to block our view yesterday when they found that eighth body out of here. I tweeted that just before noon just before i knew they were going to make that announcement. Looking live at the bus gone, but you can see that yellow amtrak railcar that it actually is a construction car.

He wrote critical comments about why amtrak had not installed that speed proof Safety System that automatically slows trains down in case of human error going in the curves like exactly what happened here. Like he almost prophetically predicted this crash. His previous postings will be among the conversation he will soon sit down and have with the crash team. Im thinking it will be really valuable to get his firsthand recollection of what happened here. I mean he was the person operating the train. He can provide us with some good information. Really we want to know his account of what he recalls leading into that tragic event, and then we can start asking specific questions. You said you have looked at track data and maintenance date, signal date, you have looking at braking date, has anything stood auto far as anomalies. Or than the speed of the train itself, nothing has stood out. Reporter first lawsuit already filed yesterday an amtrak worker from philadelphia, was among those hurt bad.

Principal of pearl buckle meantry school sent a letter to parents of the third fourth, fifth Grade Student saying field day may not happen if they dont clean up their act quote it is of extreme concern their behavior. Students received verbal warnings that parents were called but the the principal says things have not improved. Parents seem to have mixed reactions. My first reaction was that it was something that should have been at this point should be handled on a case by case bases. It makes sense that parents need to get involved and make sure those children are behaving and doing the the right things and kid have have to know there are consequences for these behaviors. The School Officials will decide on may 27th whether to hold field day for kid that shape up their acts and that is when the parents will be notified.
