Who delivers on Christmas Day . Good evening. And its great to have you with us to start another week. And we begin tonight with that horror playing out for americans on their way to work today, when the train they were on began leaning, buckling, and then veering off the tracks in washington state. It is believed there are several dead, and this was the first time they were trying out the high speed train on this particular route. 13 cars derailing just after a curve in the tracks. Several of them falling onto interstate 5 below. Triggering a scramble to get everyone out. Passengers stumbling from the wr and authorities revealing what theyve learned not long ago. Abcs Clayton Sandell is on the scene in dupont, washington, tonight. Oh, my god. Reporter what was supposed to be a celebration, the first run of newer, faster train service, tonight, is a tragedy of twisted metal, with multiple passengers dead. Oh, my god. That train is derailed. Train derailment over the freeway. Multiple patients. Reporter amtrak train 501 left seattle just after 6 00 a. M. Heading toward portland. 84 passengers and crew on board. At 7 30, passenger chris karnes tweeting, wow, this train is fast. We are passing up traffic on i5. Comotive and 12 cars are. , a careen off both sides of the overpass, down onto interstate 5, crushing vehicles below. Amtrak 501. Emergency. Emergency. Emergency. We are on the ground. Reporter the conductor radioing for help. Hey guys, what happened . We were coming around the corner to take the bridge over i5 there righ nisqually and we went on the ground. Is everybody okay . Im still figuring that out. We got cars everywhere and down onto the highway. As soon as i know exactly where all my train is, ill let you know. Reporter drivers on the interstate below were injured as the train came crashing down below, but none killed. Dan konzelman, leaping out of his car in snarled traffic and onto the train to help. We climbed underneath the train as best we could, and there was people, like, with half their bodies pinned who couldnt move and were in a lot of pain. A lot of them were screaming and moaning, but there was nothing we could do to help them really, so we just stayed with them. Theyre requesting all possible units. Theres bodies on the freeway. When we got to the scene, it was obvious that there were some fatalities and there were a lot of injuries. Reporter chris karnes, who had been tweeting earlier, survived. We started to wobble and the next thing we knew, our crumpled. When i stepped out, i didnt really realize i was standing on another train car. Reporter the passengers were the first paying customers on the amtrak cascades service. What is not clear yet is why the train derailed, or how fast it was going. An National Transportation safety board team is headed to the crash scene. Clayton sandell is with us live from washington. As you just reported there, this was a brand new route, using these tracks for passengers for the first time. Officials had expressed concern about it before they launched it . Reporter thats right, david. Long before todays crash, a local mayor in this area said he was concerned about high speed trains in this area, saying that he thought a potential fatal accident was almost inevitable. Now, one of the reasons they havent been able to lock down the funumber of fatalities, because the train cars are unstable. They have to go inside and shore them up before they can go in and see if there are anymore victims. David . Clayton sandell, thank you. And just a short time ago here, i spoke with a passenger, scott claggett, w and when he climbed out the window, not realizing his train car was in the woods, suspended in the air. Scott, thank you so much for joining us. I know its just been a horrific day for you. You were on the train to portland for a business meeting. And you said the train began to lean, that was your first seen something was wrong . Yes. I was in the back as the train was moving and we started to lean to my left, i thought, you know, nothing of it until it kept leaning and then i realized, once the windows started shattering and people started flying, that this was a crash. People were flying in the air, there are no seat belts. As that was happening, i just crawled into a ball and was just waiting and hoping and praying that the train would stop. Once the train did stop, it was completely pitch black. I was able to clench onto my cell phone, that was about all i could hold onto. Ha remembered that i could bring up on my phone to try to see if i could help others that were, you know, nearby. Some were unresponsive and some were responsive. How did you get out of the train . I dont know how the window, if it was already open or someone opened it or broke it open, i just know that it was open and i decided to jump out of it, not knowing that my car has now entered the woods and im a story and a half up. I realized how high i was and i landed on the ground, still hearing screams. Theres nothing more that i can do, which is pretty painful to want to help somebody, but you cant, because, you know, im so far below. You mentioned the cell phone, the light on the phone that you used to get out through that window and you made a call when you got off that train . Yes, i made a phone call to my parents and then to a really good friend of mine, none of which picked up the phone, but those are the two phone calls that i made. Im sure theyre glad, whether they picked up the phone or not, that youre okay tonight. And we are, too. Im sorry about what you witnessed today and were glad youre okay. Thank you. Scott claggett and his story from inside that train tonight. We do move on here to the other news on this monday evening, and to the nightmare at the worlds Busiest Airport in atlanta, after that massive power failure. Customers, many traveling for the holiday, told to leave their luggage behind. It was a fire that knocked out power, the airport brought to a standstill for several hours. And tonight, thousands of passengers are still waiting for flights, and the piles of luggage are still there. Abcs marcus moore from atlanta. Reporter tonight, thousands of passengers at hartsfieldjackson international, scrambling to get out of atlanta.

And marcus moore with us tonight from hartsfield international, where so many people are trying to connect with their luggage. And theyre still waiting on flights . Reporter yeah, thats right, david. We see rows and rows of luggage here, covering the floor, waiting to be claimed. Certainly a frustrating time for passengers, but things are slowly but surely getting back to normal. At the same time, though, some passengers, david, are being told they may not be able to get on a plane until thursday and some have told me, theyre going to go ahead and rent a car to get to their destination, but even that is proving to be a challenge tonight here in atlanta. Marcus, thank you, again tonight. And making it even harder for atlanta to get flights back in the air, the heavy fog. You can see it surrounding one of the jets there right there this morning in atlanta. Just one of two systems that were tracking, with millions traveling to get there in time for christmas. Lets get right to ginger zee. Shes tracking it all tonight. Reporter hey, david. A lot of folks that saw dense fog this morning will do it again tomorrow. Weve got the warm air coming in along this warm front, so, heavy rains, even severe storms, tuesday through early wednesday morning. Something to watch for, again, from dallas to atlanta. Next storm to watch, this one, dropping up to 36 inches of snow in the cascades overnight tonight. Then, if youre traveling i80 or i70 in the northern plains, a base two to four inches of snow, some places up to a foot. It becomes all rain, but certainly impact as so many folks hit the road and skies this friday, saturday and sunday on the east coast. Rain can be just as dangerous as the snow. Thank yo californias thomas fire now in its third week. It is now the thirdlargest wildfire in state history there.

Congress set to take the first votes tomorrow, so, who wins, who loses . The tax cuts on Corporate America are set to be permanent. The cuts for individuals and those that benefit the middle class have expiration dates. And a new analysis just out tonight finding that next year, 65 of the tax benefit in the first year will go to the top 20 . And after the first decade, the top 20 will get nearly all of the benefit while the bottom 40 will actually get a tax increase, according to that new study. Abcs mary bruce, back on the Hill Reporter with a victory on tax reform in sight, President Trump tonight is promising americans big results. It will be the biggest tax cut and tax reform in the history of our country. Reporter but on capitol hill, protesters are urging congress not to pass this bill. This is what democracy looks like reporter so, who really wins and who loses . The president has insisted he will not benefit. And its not good for me, believe me. Reporter but the wealthy do get a big tax cut, from more that 39 down to 37 . And certain business owners, including those of commercial real estate like the trump family, get a 20 deduction. The bill is a big win for big business. Corporations see their tax rate slashed permanently, from 35 down to just 21 . But republicans insist this bill is aimed at the middle class. On the campaign trail, candidate trump promis voice to the voiceless. Its about representing the forgotten men and women of this country, and they have been forgotten. Reporter but in the new bill, the individual tax cuts expire after eight years. And tonight, that new Analysis Finds in a decade, 70 of middle income americans would face a tax increase. While 76 of the wealthiest would receive a tax cut. Are you just giving yourself a big tax cut here . Ah, no. Well be judged not by how yall report the tax cuts, how people feel it. Reporter if you live in a state with high property and income taxes, you could also lose out. The bill caps state and local property and income Tax Deductions at 10,000. The bill repeals the obamacare individual mandate that all americans have insurance, which could leave 13 million more americans uninsured and leave premiums skyrocketing. And mary bruce with us live on the hill tonight. And mary, we know that senator john mccain is returning home to arizona to recuperate from effects of his cancer therapy. Well told hes responding well. Thats good news tonight. He wont be able to vote on the tax bill, but republicans say they still have the votes . Reporter david, they think they do.

Are you still considering firing Robert Mueller . No, im not. No. What else . What, are you surprised . Reporter his lawyers, however, launched a new attack. In a sevenpage letter to congressional investigators, President Trumps transition legal team accuses mueller of wrongfully obtaining tens of thousands of emails from the president s inner circle in the weeks before he took office including, they say, a very significant volume of privileged material. They say career government workers broke the law by giving muellers team those emails plus laptops, cell phones, and other materials. Not looking good. Not looking good. Its quite sad to see that. So, my people were very upset about it. I cant imagine theres anything on them, frankly, because as we said, theres no collusion, theres no collusion whatsoever. Reporter the charge from the president s attorneys prompting a rare public rebuttal from the usually secretive special counsel.
