yeah. my wife got in contact with her family. they are fine. i ve reached out to friends and family. they all know i m okay. i m pretty sure they will wake up my messages. but everybody has informed everybody that we are fine. i know there are more important things than what happened at the front of the train, but could you see the area of impact, where the amtrak train hit or hit this the csx train? no. i mean, the only thing you could really see from my vantage point was it looked like the engine was just on its side. i really didn t see any debris or anything of the actual much much of the impact area. so, derek, we know this is a train that goes from miami to new york. where were you trying to go? and how far are you? where are you going to go now?
new york to miami. do we have paul kirby on the phone with the lexington ledger some we are waiting to get paul. he is there on the scene and he is trying to get more information for us. you can see the route there. you just saw the route there from new york to orlando. we know this train was traveling south because we talked to d derrick pett away and he was on a sleeper train and he was sleeping when he felt the jolt. his passenger car had derailed but was still upright. and we talked to him just a short time ago. take a listen. no, i m fine. i was discharged from the hospital about 30 minutes ago just with minor whiplash but i m fine. with minor whiplash. all right. we are glad that you re okay, derek. can you kind of walk us through what happened? where were you on the train?
