There are revelations we are waiting for a briefing from the ntsb and the biggest revelation today occurred 90 minutes ago with the information from the ntsb that the train was traveling in excess of 100 Miles Per Hour through a significant curve. At a News Conference scheduled to start shortly, the head of the ntsb says the train was traveling at more than 100 Miles Per Hour, that is more than twice the posted limit for the curve where the train jumped the tracks, today they discovered an additional victim bringing the death toll to seven. The city continues to struggling for the 240 plus that were suppose to be on the train at the time of the crash. We are still waiting to hear from folks someone that left the scene and who is doing well have them call to the amtrak 1800number that is 18005239101. Again, 18005239101. Back live now we are waiting for the ntsb News Conference to begin. It looks like it will shortly. Back to you all. Thank you john. The trains engineer and his attorney
