Evening rush in new york leaves six dead. Were live on the scene. Those stories and more coming up. Good morning, everyone. Im kate bolduan. Im john berman. Our breaking news this morning. A dramatic turn in the battle against isis. What some are really calling a defining moment. At dawn the kingdom of jordan executed two jihadies. A female wouldbe suicide bomber you can see there and an aid to the deceased leader of the al qaeda in iraq abu musab al zarqawi. They were hanged in retaliation for the horrifying killing of a jordanian pilot by isis militants. Muath al kaseasbeh was burned alive while locked in a cage. His killing sent a wave of outrage across jordan and around the world. King abdullah of jordan will visit the pilots family today. Our Atika Shubert is joining us from amman, jordan with more. There were protests throughout the night calling for revenge on the ground in jordan. What have you been hearing today . Reporter that grief and anger you can still very much feel on the streets here. People are just really stunned and horrified by this murder. Weve seen spontaneous gatherings throughout the day in support of King Abdullah as he arrived earlier today. But also prayers for the pilot and his family. And there we heard people saying isis were killers, murderers and describing kaseasbeh as a hero and martyr. His family has spoken out and said the execution of those two terror convicts in jail here earlier this morning is simply not enough. Take a listen to what his family said. Translator now i call on all jordanians to be in one rank and one person united fearing for the land of our beloved country. We lived in jordan and we will protect jordan and well die in jordan. If god wills the arab army the colleagues will take revenge for Muath Al Kaseasbeh. Reporter maybe too far away to hear but right now we can hear church bells ringing at different churches in amman in Prayer Service for Muath Al Kaseasbeh and his family. There have been prayers throughout the day. Islamic prayers but now also christian prayers. It really is solidarity from across different communities here in jordan. And the message all seems to be the same. They support jordans government to take even more military action against isis. Atika, thank you so much. Atika shubert on the ground for us in amman, jordan. Coming up well look at how this brutal murder and anger it created will impact the fight against isis. No one wants to see Something Like that. I felt the need to watch it for our viewers. I get goose bumps even thinking about it. Its the most horrific thing ive ever seen. Cnn is not showing it because it is nothing less than isis propaganda and something people dont need to see. Unbelievable footage to show you of a plane crash that had dozens of people onboard. This happened in taiwan. The plane lurches between buildings. Falls into a river after it clips a taxi. Amazing to see that. There are survivors and emergency crews are still searching for additional possible survivors in the water right now. David mckenzie joins us with the latest. Reporter thats right, john. Certainly quite incredible that there were survivors. Some 15 survivors they say. Unfortunately now the death toll has risen to 25 people confirmed dead. The Civil Aviation authority in taiwan pulled that fuselage out of that river and pushed most of it to the bank while they continue to pull out what might be survivors but unfortunately probably more likely just bodies from that plane. That extraordinary moment in the morning in taiwan when the plane dipped over the buildings and cartwheeled over a major highway and clipping a taxi and dumping into that river. Very early to know what exactly happened but certainly shocked citizens in taipei right now. John and kate . Just stunning to see that. Does not seem real. Well talk more about that later about how there could be survivors. Well speak to mary schiavo. And six people were killed when a commuter train collided with an suv in valhalla 20 miles north of new york city. Officials say the gates at the crossing came down on top of a car that stopped on its tracks. The jeeps driver was killed along with five people onboard the train that burst into smoke and flames. New yorks Governor Andrew Cuomo spoke about what the passengers went through. You can imagine the horror of those onboard. They were evacuated through the rear of the train and people in the front car simply many of them could not get out. Well have a live report from the crash site in just a few minutes. More snow is coming to parts of the country already hampered by the nasty winter weather. Forecasters say another storm system is on the way to hit the midwest and the northeast. This of course is after the previous system hit not only snarling traffic but also killing at least ten people. Meanwhile, schools are reopening and travelers are trying to get back on their way after thousands of flights were canceled earlier this week. Among the citys hardest hit, boston. It set a new record for snowiest sevenday period ever with more than 40 inches. No snow no cold and no team could keep the new England Patriots from glory. Lure youre looking at live pictures from the super bowl victory parade delayed by a day. Just a day. It will happen. Well wind through the streets of boston right there. You can see the snow packed up on the banks there. Its hard to get rid of snow so people would have a place to stand. One of the few streets that are clear right now in boston probably. Just a parade. No rally. They did not clear off in front of Government Center where they old victory rally because theres too much work to move that snow. Up next turning outrage to action. The next step in the war against isis. A lot of people see this as a turning point. Ed the deadliest train crash in the history of new yorks rail rhea railway. Well take you to the scene next. Welcome back. Jordan is still coming to terms with horrifying death of their pilot by isis terrorists. This is not the first time isis posted online a video of its killings but what makes this one different is not only the horrific nature of the pilots death but also the fact he was from a middle eastern nation taking part in the u. S. Led military fight against isis and it appears ices is trying to send a message of sorts that this is the fate awaiting all of the countries involved if they continue that fight. New this morning, jordan fights back executing two convicted terrorists in retaliation. What impact will that have . Lets bring in cnn terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank and senior fellow of National Security affairs at the Heritage Foundation peter brooks. Gentlemen, thank you for being with us. Paul, lets start with you. Lets start with the latest news here. The execution. Jordan executed two convicted terrorists. What do you think reaction will be by isis and what more now can and do you suspect jordan will do . I think there will be a lot of anger from isis. They could retaliate inside jordan. Up to 2,000 jordanians traveled to syria and iraq to fight with these various groups all fighting with isis. Up to 9,000 projihadi extremists inside jordan. There were demonstration this is past summer in support of isis in a couple jordanian towns so theres a real concern that isis could retaliate inside the kingdom for these executions but also if jordan steps up its air campaign against isis in syria and iraq. The question i want to get your take on as well is what more do you expect jordan to do especially in light of the fact that we heard from the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee John mccain earlier today and hes hearing from jordanians that they are frustrated and they need more advanced weapon systems and more advanced weapons to take on the fight against isis. What do you think . Well jordan has a very capable military. Perhaps the most capable in the middle east. Its not that big. I dont think it can take on isis by itself. We should welcome jordan and other arab states coalescing together to take on isis. Im concerned were not making progress we should be but one of the most important things is American Leadership on this. Diplomatic leadership making this coalition stronger and also providing the military arms to our partners in dealing with this. Like i said this is going on for a while. I hate to be contrarian kate but im not sure this is a game changer. Theres as lot of words out there. A lot of rhetoric. We have to see action to deal with this terrible threat. And to your point, you say you want to see arab nations coming together to fight isis. Weve seen an example just now of where that seems the opposite is happening. The New York Times reporting that United Arab Emirates suspended air strikes against isis because of exactly this situation because of the jordanian pilot had been taken hostage. Thats why i wont call this a game changer. I wont call it game change forethat reasonforechanger for that reason. Arab states are looking over their shoulder at what iran is doing in iraq and syria and Syrian Regime as well who are not friends with arab states. If im fighting isis am i helping the iranians . The administration has let this go on without having a syria policy. It shines a spotlight on the fact that we dont have a good policy in place right now for dealing with syria. This is complicated and not easy stuff by any stretch of the imagination. Paul if you can make the counterargument to what peter is saying. Some say this is a defining moment and game changer. How does this change the situation not just for the regimes because they came out and made forceful statements but on the streets. You say some 2,000 jordanians are fighting for isis. How does this stop the flow of people into the organization . Well the pilot was from a prominent sunni tribal family from the south. Tribes are very conservative. They are mad with isis right now. That could stop the flow of recruitment. I think that it really is a game changer from the jordanian perspective we see protests against isis in jordan and we see cairo calling on isis fighters to be crucified. Is it because of how he was killed . Is it because of the burning . No one should be surprised that isis is brutal. If they are surprised, they havent been paying attention. Now because they set this man on fire which admittedly is horrific thats enough to change the game in parts of these communities . These horrible images of being viewed right across the middle east and they are causing absolute indignation that a sunni would be killed by isis. Burning a body is forbidden according to islam. Absolutely. Main street islamic teaching it prohibits anything like this. There is horror across the muslim world and these kind of key moments, which really do affect people of course theyve been killing thousands of others including sunnis in iraq and syria but this is a big moment. This is being looked at by millions of people across the middle east and i think it could be a watershed moment. A lot of work has to be done. There are some countries where its lukewarm for this antiisis coalition. United arab emirates suspended but i think this will help Obama Administration make the case for extra arab support for this mission. Interesting. Wonder if its not just the u. S. Making the case but if countries like jordan are making the case to their neighbors as well. Thanks so much. Thanks guys. Coming up for us deadly train crash in new york leaves six people dead. Dozens injured. Well take you to the scene live. Images so scary. If you have moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis like me and youre talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic. This is humira. This is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. This is humira giving me new perspective. Doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. Humira works for many adults. It targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Talk to your doctor and visit humira. Com this is humira at work happening now, ntsb investigators just arrived at the site of a commuter train crash that killed six people. The train hit a jeep stuck on the tracks at the time north of new york city. Five passengers and the driver died as a result of the crash and the ensuing fire. Listen to what one passenger said about the ensuing chaos onboard. There was a passenger that ran past me. He had blood on his face and people were pulling the windows off trying to get out through the emergency windows. Screaming, yelling, it was total panic. Along with the loss of life this crash is causing trouble for People Living on the second Commuter Railroad line in the country. As many as 45,000 riders take Metro North Railroad on an average weekday. This is the latest in a string of incidents involving metro north. Last one was in december of 2013 when a train in the bronx spread through a curve and resulting crash killed four passengers. Well bring in cnns Deborah Feyerick live at the scene in valhalla. What are you learning deb . Reporter were learning that ntsb has officially taken control of this scene. I dont know whether you can see this door just past me there. I think we have another camera angle. You have investigators entering the train car to begin the forensic gathering of all different pieces of information that might help put together what happened. Earlier they were at the head of the train and you can see we were able to get a glimpse. Theres buses that are actually covering the front of the train protecting it from people seeing it and the front of the train is burned out. You have a silver suv thats still crumpled and mangled in the front of the train car there. So right now we know the medical examiner is asking for dental records and dna to identify some of those passengers who were on that first car. That is the car that took the heavy brunt of the impact. It caught fire actually after the suv exploded and the third rail shot up from the tracks into that train car adding a surge of electricity and thats why that thick, black smoke that you see, thats what that apparently was caused by. Now, according to a county official an eyewitness says that there had been an accident on a nearby parkway and so a lot of people were finding divergent ways to get back to their homes. One woman it appears got caught on the tracks or inched her way on the tracks possibly thinking she had enough time and then the gates went down. She got out of the car and tried to lift the gate but it was simply too late. She was able to get back into the car but the train came just moments after that. Thats all something that ntsb investigators will be looking at including looking at the gates, the signals, the weather conditions the tracks all of that. Right now they are here and on scene and official investigation has begun, kate and john. Real quick. Any word on how long they think the investigation is going to take . It sure looks like they have a lot to go through. Reporter they really do. You see a lot of members of the press here getting the shot of those investigators. Theyre going to be on the ground for five to seven days. It will take them about nine months to 12 months before they issue an official report. If there is an actual safety violation or something they can do with respect to safety theyll immediately let the public know about that kate. Deborah feyerick on the scene for us. You can see investigators really getting their work under way as we speak. Deb, thanks so much. Jordan vows it will not be intimidated by bruteality of isis but one other group has frozen its role and what the battle plan may be ahead. Unbelievable video. Look at this.
