Today marks one year since amtrak train derailed in northeast philadelphia, killing eight people, injuring 200 others. The new york bound train hit sharp curve at 106 miles an hour, more than twice the speed limit. This morning, we remember that deadly crash. It has not only impacted our area but the nation, and federal investigators are preparing to meet about what happened. Steve keeley joins us live from Port Richmond with the latest on this, those federal investigators set to meet in less than a week, right, steve . Reporter on tuesday getting together down in washington, a lot will be taking a train right past the spot where we are right now where we were a year ago tonight and it is known as the frankford curvement and we just saw our first amtrak train of the morning, going by here, headed northbound, just like train 188 was last year and the big difference was the train here was essentially crawling going ten, 15 miles an hour, maximum. Last year, train 188 was going 166, more than double the speed limit through here, and since then investigators have not come out so far and blamed the engineer, like they may do on tuesday, but all the civil lawsuits, all of the lawyers, and all of the survivors certainly blame him. How can you just not remember . How can you drive a train at 106 miles an hour and not know what you are doing . Many of our client are very upset. That mr. Bostian has this sudden memory loss. We are skeptical when people, all of a sinned, have amnesia. I think that mr. Hewett and the other victims of this derailment are going to be very upset to learn that mr. Bostians testimony has changed regarding what he remembers. I think that is adding injury to injury. Well, all he did remember, according to the testimony that was redeveloped in public documents, was hit that accelerator switch in the up position, and then realizing he was going too fast, going into the curve, and then braking. Not only reduce the speed from 106 down to 102. So far, with a was ruled out, was mechanical error, nothing was mechanically wrong with the train. All the signals on the tracks were working aokay, and the track itself was in fine shape. So that leaves one last thing, chris, lauren, human error as the focus, and likely will finally get the federal investigators opinion on why they think this happened on tuesday down in washington. And at some point perhaps compel him to talk and tell us what he remembers, if anything more. All right, steve, thank you.

Reporter well, thats a big question, whether there are threat on so many media that could lead to another incident here at the Howard High School of technology, a big fear here after the death of amy francis joiner. Now, more concerns of payback for the 16 year olds death. Community, and religious leaders say they met after hearing rumors and hearing threats of more violence here at the high school.

Only one was charged with criminally neglect homicide, which carries maximum of eight years in prison, two others with lesser charges of conspiracy, while specific threats have not been stated some have brought out outrage to social media, saying, those charges dont go far enough. And thats prompting a call for calm. Social media is not your friends. The lives, the rumors, social media, they live longer than they should. And they do more damage than we node them to do.
