Thank you. Paul chung was a passenger on the train. He works for the Associated Press and is in the studio toon. Welcome. Thank you. You and another colleague from Associated Press were on the train. You were in separate cars. Yes. You didnt know he was on the train. I didnt. I was attending an event in d. C. Representing the Asian American journalist association. I was not aware that my other colleague was in the same train. Sadly he passed away right. Yes. Tell me what it was like in that train. You were in which car . I was the third car from the end, the car that ended up being perpendicular to the rail. Did you notice anything strange after you left philadelphia . No, actually i was not paying attention. I was looking through my phone, streaming netflix, and waiting to come home. And then . Then suddenly as if someone slammed the brake, and everything went dark you could hear noise and a lot of vibration left to right, and almost like a swinging of a movement of an action that you are watching in real life. It happened in a second. When everything stops, people were wondering what is going on and all of us gathered our stuff, tried to gather our stuff, and at that point we had no idea how bad it was, i didnt know. Before we get to how you got out, talk about what its like to be at 100 Miles Per Hour in a train. Did you notice that at all, did you notice it was going faster . No i didnt. Not until you hit the brake. You were trying to get out. It was pitchblack. There was light from the outside. I grabbed my iphone and turned on the flashlight. Is the car turned sideways or is it strait. At that point i didnt recognise what was going on. I just thought. You couldnt tell. Stuff was everywhere. Throw out of your seat much. I was shaken around in my seat. When i look around there was stuff everywhere. What did you hear . I wasnt sure if it was luggage or you know the seats. People crying screaming. At that point people were like holy shit what is going on. And, again, it was so dark i wasnt sure who was in front of me. I could only see a couple of passengers around me. And then as most of us tried to look for our cell phone, that is the number one priority. For a lot of passengers looking for the stuff around me. We could hear a voice saying you need to get out, you need to get out from the back. That point i thought, it was an authority from amtrak. It wasnt. It was a different passenger. You got to the door what happened . We smelt the smoke. Thats why we knew we had to get out. I looked down. This looked higher than i imagined from a platform jump and i jumped down. You jumped down what did you see . First i fell down, as i jumped and it was pitch darkness i could see you know the rails, i could see passengers kind of scattered around, and, you know when i fell down people were screaming saying are you okay . And others screamed saying you need to get up off the track, theres livewires, and at that point i was panicked wasnt sure what was going on. So i got up, ran away from the track, and thats when i could glimpse at how devastating the wreckage was. What did you see . What i saw was almost a horseshoe shape, to the right the car that i was in. In front of me a car flipped sideways and people trying to claim up from you know escape through the windows. To my left is wreckage everywhere. Its almost like it tore the train apart and mush the meadows into pieces. We are glad you are alive and survived this. This is a tough experience. Are you angry about this about what happened . Im sad and disappointed. Because i mean, right now im still, you know like everyone else who tried to look for the story. Why did the train move at 106 Miles Per Hour, when its supposed to be half the speed. We hope to answer those questions in the coming day. Paul good to met you. Thank you for being with us. Tomorrow night a special report derailed how safe are american trains 8 30 eastern, 5 30 pacific the secret service detained a man for flying a drone near the white house. The incident comes after information about the night two secret service men drove into a White House Security barrier. Libby casey has that. The secret service is charged with protecting the president in the eye of threats, like the drone threat. Its harmless but the secret service has to worry about white house ground being penetrated by a drone. Even though they were hard at work the agency was under scrutiny on capital hill under concerns of past behaviours. The new director pledged to clean it up. Reporter the secret service says man was nighing a drone over a park, a flying a drone over a park a block away. They demanded he land it and took him away. The white house was on lockdown the president was at camp davis. I was aware of this. Reporter the secret Service Showed what lookedlike a commercially available model, that can has a camera and can take photos. It is illegal to fly a drone in washington. A day earlier a Public Campaign was launched that the Nations Capital is a nogo zone with a message to leave drones at home. Penalties are fines. A month ago a plane was crashed on the white house lawn. The man said it flew out of his control, he was not charged. The secret service did its work but the agency faces scrutiny for something that happened on march, when two off duty agents drove through a scope of a suspicious package. When something goes wrong, we have to learn from it and make sure we fix the problems. Some of the behaviour is unacceptable. A report from the department of Homeland SecurityInspector General said the two agents were at a Retirement Party and its likely they were impaired by alcohol. The two agents displayed poor judgment, a lack of Situational Awareness in driving into the scene. One ate agent retired, the other is on leave. We expect a lot. We expect people to make mistakes, but not to put the mission in danger others in danger, and can never ever put the president in danger. Reporter joe clancy took over the secret service in october after the previous director resigned in a scandal. A white house fence jumper got past security and made his way into the building. Clancy pledged to fix the secret service. Reporter director clancys pledge came before the march incident. Hes concerned that the agents have proper funding, training dont work too many hours, is concerned about their behaviour and making sure they are as strong as can be to perform their important job thank you. President obama hosted a summit with the Gulf Cooperation Council at camp david. Security issues was on the agenda, especially the nuclear deal with iran. Mike viqueira was there, what was the upshot of the summit . Well, this was something the president wanted to do. Remember he appeared in the rose garden and talked about the interim deal he reached in april with iran and the p5 1 partners, and a reason that the summit was called is its no secret that many of americas strongest allies arab nations are disappointed in the way the white house went about this. Theres a lot of anxiety about the talks with iran, they consider iran if not an enemy, a rival, and an agent of destabilization in the region growing amount of worries. The president recognised this invited him up to what was in the end characterised as a brainstorming session. The president assured all involved that the United States would back up and guarantee these nations security in the persian gulf region. Lets listen. I was explicit as will be reflected in the joint statement that we released that the United States will stand by our g. C. C. Partners against external attack and will deepen and extend the cooperation that we have when it comes to the many challenges that exist in the region. That cooperation includes more joint military exercise more joint training, more cooperation on Maritime Security more cooperation on counterterrorism and cyber terrorism so you had the chance to ask the president a few questions, you asked him about chemical weapons in syria, here is a bit of of what he had to say. I dont know why you are here, but the reason im here is not because of what happened in syria a couple of years ago. The reason im here is because we have extraordinary challenges throughout the region not just in syria, but iraq yemen, libya, and the developments of i. S. I. L. And our interests is making sure we dont have a Nuclear Weapon in iran. So what else did he have to say about the report . John well, the context of the question is i asked the question two years ago when Bashar Alassad crossed the red line laid down by the president and deployed chemical weapons against civilians, the president promised to respond militarily. He did not do so. Its a sore point here and anger and frustration among the nations here today. The president said they were working to determine whether chlorine gas, which technically is not a chemical weapon, it may be lost on a lot of people especially the civilians against whom it was deployed. Here is more of what he said about that. It is true that we have seen reports about the use of chlorine in bombs that have the effect of chemical weapons, chlorine, itself historically has not been listed as a chemical weapon. When it is used in this fashion, can be considered a prohibited use of that particular chemical, and are working with the International Community to investigate that. Of course the context there, john of course Bashar Alassad accused of deploying chemical barrel bombs against his own people. The president said hed work with International Organizations and put pressure on syrias patients, like russia. To get to the bottom of what happened. Next on the broadcast, small boats versus big oil fields. Battle over plans to drill in the arctic 30 years after a deadly bombing, a move bombing, race violence we talk to a survivor. A showdown is brewing in the pacific northwest. This week the white house gave approval for drilling in the arctic tonight the first of two shell Oil Drilling Rigs made their way to the port of seattle. A group of protesters arm with kayaks and paddles vow to stop it. Allen schauffler is in seattle with more. Its been an interesting day here in the waters of the sound and elliott bay. The mayor asked shell oil please dont come, the city council asked shell oil please dont come. The port of seattle asked shell to at least delay until regulatory issues were worked out. Shell oil said we are coming anyway, and the local company doing the work said come on in well do the work. The polar pioneer is here in the city at the port of seattle. Its the big yellow and blue thing you can see there. It may not be the most popular site, but it is the biggest. Earlier today activists in kayaks kayaktivists they call themselves paddle out to great the rig. The enormous rig one of two that will be here and will be provisioned and sent north, way north up into the arctic. Mike viqueira was a busy man, he had a chance to talk to the president , of course, and asked him about the interior departments approval. And about shell oils plan to drill in the arctic. Despite the fact that shell had put in an application for exploration in this region several years ago, we delayed it for a lengthy period of time until they could provide us with the kinds of assurances that we have not seen before taking account of the extraordinary challenges if in fact there was a leak that far n
