At this point weve been able to count with by fact lars about eight rail cars that are on fire. Official estimates from csx is that this is a 109car train two locomotives. They said only one is on fire but clearly that is not the case. Also crude oil has spilled into the canal river. Just moments ago csx and the coast guard had to use our cameras to look across the river to identify the actual rail car numbers so they can possiblyers so they can possibly disconnect these rail cars and identify other rail cars that could have potential problems. Pelley bryan do, we know anything about deaths or injuries . At this point no injuries have been reported. Across the river there is one house right underneath where these rail cars are that one has been absolutely incinerated. Pelley and roughly how being evacuated . Reporter at this point there is a community thats around 100 thats bo virginia, they have been evacuated to the local school,ni but its just downriver of this location. At this point theres not an actual estimate of the amount of people that are displaced, but there are a few stragglers who are here. Like i said, half mile is going to be the radius that has been officially evacuated, but right now we can tell you the fire is incredible. You can hear it roaring and sometimes the heat when an explosion occurs is intense. Pelley bryan hughes of wowk at the scene of the breaking news for us tonight. Bryan, thanks. Well, its the shortest month of the year, but its beginning to feel like it will never end. Another february freeze is taking hold. The area that you see here in purple will have temperatures tonight as low as 10 below and the chill is to the bone with winds as high asnr 45mph today on new hampshiresnr mt. Washington.

More snow is onco the way moving from the Southern Plains to theninr east and Jericka Duncan is in boston for us tonight. Jericka . Reporter good evening. This area where im standing is normally a waterfront park, but its anything but a picnic for people who have to walk through here. Many of these snow mounds around me are at least seven feet high but elsewhere theyre much higher. A procession of dump trucks has been hauling snow around the clock to socalled snow farms, open city parking lots that have been transformed into dumping grounds. Theyve doubled from 5 to 10 snow farms in the last week. Some of the mounds are more than five stories high. Two snow melters there been brought in from new york and officials are now looking for more. Boston mayor marty walsh. Shoveling snow piles the make room for new snow.

People dont want to go out. Theres a lot of snow. Business is down about 60 over the last few weeks. Reporter and potholes are also a big concern. Scott, last year the mayor says the city repaired 19,000 of them. It was a record. Just one of many records that could be broken before the end of this season. Pelley Jericka Duncan in boston. Thank you, jericka. Now, have a look at this. It took firefighters in philadelphia two and a half hours to bring an Early Morning fire in this building under control. They were battling not only the flames, but a windchill of 16 below. By the time they were done, they had turned the building into an icebox. And the arctic air is now heading south. The big concern there tonight is freezing rain and ice. Utility companies have extra crews on standby to repair power lines that might come down, leaving people in the dark and the cold. Lets have a look at forecast now from eric fisher, chief meteorologist at our boston station wbz. Eric, whats next . Reporter well, scott weve seen very significant snow for many areas here with this storm on president s day bringing up to a foot of snow just outside st.

Biggest totals tonight moving across virginia, the jackpot, at 12 to 18 additional inches. Behind all this, arctic cold. Its not just the northeast but all of the central and eastern united states. As you look toward the midweek high temps in chicago. Same story in minneapolis and st. Lucie stuck in the teens. That cold air moves into the southeast, as well and florida, northern florida, highs may not get out of the 30s. Scott . Pelley eric fisher, wbz thanks very much. ni moving on, today a Russian Security Company Reported that it discovered one of the Biggest Bank Robberies ever. No guns involved. Hackers did it, breaking into more than 100 banks in 30 countries and making off with a total of as much as 1 billion. Heres anna werner. Reporter the authors of the report call it the the Great Bank Robbery of the modern era. Their ultimate goal was to steal as much money as possible, and they largely accomplished that. Reporter Chris Doggett is managing director for kaspersky lab, the Computer Security firm that uncovered the scheme. Your very basic hackers are about getting in and stealing whatever they can get their hands on. The way these guys are different is they were a combination of hackers, spies and thieves. Reporter the criminals often used the simplest of methods to get into wants, an email attachment with a virus sent the bank employees. When the employee kicked on it, the hackers gained access to the banks financial system, and then spied to see how the employees and the systems worked. They went in and actually chained changed the balances in accounts, so it looked to the bank that there was more money than there was in reality. They then used epayment systems and atm machines and even the swiss Financial Network to transfer the money out of those accounts into other accounts that they had set up for themselves. Reporter often the hackers sent commands to atms to just spew out money. They would have a person standing there to collect it. The losses are huge. One bank lost nearly 10 million when the hackers targeted its Online Banking platform. Another was hit for 7. 3 million through atm fraud. Its not clear yet how many banks in the u. S. Were affected or whether they lost money. Now, the American Bankers Association told us today there is no evidence u. S. Banks were infiltrated, but doggetts group found u. S. Banks werzehk definitely targeted. Pelley imagine what bonnie and clyde would think. Anna, thank you. Overseas today another country has been pulled into the war with isis. Egypt attacked targets in libya linked to the Islamic Extremist Group that already holds part of syria and iraq. Egypt was responding to a savage act against christians. We have a report from cairo. Reporter it was still dark when f16 fighter jets took off, striking Training Camps and weapons depots along libyas coast. One target was derna headquarters for many islamic militants who have sworn allegiance to isis. The bombings came a day after isis released a video that appears to show the execution of 21 egyptian christians. Masked jihadis marched the captives along the beach. A few whispered their final prayers and then all were beheaded. Most of the victims came from the Christian Village of elaour south of cairo. Today relatives sobbed and shouted in grief. One father begged for the return of his sons body. Egypts president Abdel Fattah Al sisi visited cairos main cathedral to offer his condolences and condemned what he called a heinous act of terrorism. The slain were kidnapped by mill tabs in libya. They were among the hundreds of thousands of egyptians that traveled there looking for work in the oil fields. If the video is confirmed this will be the first time that isis has killed foreigners outside syria and iraq and it raises conce forging new links to militias in libya. The kidnapping also means that egypt is now fighting groups linked with isis on two fronts to the west in libya, and to the east in the sinai peninsula. Egypt has a dispatched a foreign minister to new york where theyre hoping to rally as much International Support as they can for this military intervention in libya. In the meantime, scott, extra security has been deployed inside egypt for fear of reprisal attacks. Pelley alex ortiz, thank you. We have reports tonight that the men behind the deadly attacks in denmark were released from jail just two weeks ago and may have been influenced by islamic radicals while behind bars. Two people were shot to death. The police later shot and killed the gunman. Tonight in copenhagen, tens of thousands attended a candlelight vigil for the victims. Friends and family will remember correspondent bob simon tomorrow in new york. He was killed in a car crash last week. Bob had just finished a 60 minutes report on the development of zmap, a promising drug to treat ebola a disease that has killed 9,000 in its latest outbreak in west africa. Bobs reporting took him to a secure lab in canada as well as to a series of greenhouses in owensboro, kentucky. Reporter this is where the signs have turned into a product, where zmap is manufacture nerd row after row of this oddlooking variety of tobacco. Can i smoke it . Can i chew it . I would recommend that. Reporter its different . Its very different. Reporter hugh haydon is the president of this company which was recently bought by j. R. Reynolds. When you say cancer, people think death. Its known in our culture as a killer. Theres clearly been an irony there, but there are good things that can be done with it. Thats our objective here. Reporter but zmap isnt easy to produce. It takes six weeks. The tobacco plants first have to be grown for 24 days. Then theyre immersed in a liquid containing a gene that tells them thenr make special antibodies which help the immune system fight viruses in this case ebola. As the plants grow, they copy those antibodies over and over again. Xerox machine for antibodies. Thats essentially what it does. It makes it over and over and over again. Reporter the leaves are then ground up into a liquid which looks like a juice you buy at a health food store. Since zmap is made up of three different antibody, the process has to be repeated three times using 6,000 pounds of new tobacco planteds, and the yield . How much zmap will you get out of three tables like this . How many people can you cure of ebola if it works . It would be dozens best case. Reporter dozens, which is not very much. Not very much. Dozens of cures when 9,000 people died in this epidemic. Sounds like using a bottle of water to put out a forest fire.
