Will this new level of brutality back fire. Also a rush hour nightmare in new york. This is a truly ugly and brutal sight. People killed when a commuter train hits an suv on the tracks. People pulling windows out. The tracks buckle the front car catches fire commuters scramble for safety. We were able to get off in time, but it was scary. Plus disaster unfolds up close. A dash cam capturing a plane falling out of the sky clipping an overpass and careening into a river. Incredible that survivors walked out in some cases from this plane. What went wrong and how rescuers got to the survivors. Lets talk live in the cnn newsroom. And good morning. Im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. We are following breaking news this morning. Jordan taking action overnight executing two jailed al qaeda terrorists one of them sajida alrishawi. That in retaliation for the horrifying murder of that captured jordanian pilot. Isis burning him alive inside a cage and then posting the video online. His father demanding revenge and calling for the end of isis. Translator i demand that the government of jordan avenge the blood of muath. These were criminals and theres no comparison between them and muath. His blood is more valued than sajida alrishawi and ziad ziad kaboli. I demand that revenge should be bigger than executing prisoners. I demand that this criminal organization is a nilelized. Many experts are calling this a Tipping Point for isis and maybe it will be. I watched the video of the pilots death and i wish i had not. It did strike me how cowardly this act by isis was setting fire to a man locked in a cage with your faces covered. Thats cowardly. What was courageous was this pilot. He accepted his fate without cowering to the terrorists clasping his hands in prayer as flames engulfed his body. He stood strong in the face of ungodly cowardess. Thats where we want to start. We are all moaz. Jordans queen rania joined the campaign tweeting the phrase in arabic. Now its trending heavily across the east. Whats next for jordan . Reporter thats right. There are protests overnight, but this morning we saw shows of solidarity. People showing up at the airport waiting for King Abdullahs arrival to show their support for jordan being involved in the fight against isis. We were also at a prayer earlier today where they decried isis as mercenaries, killers, murderers. The jordanian pilot Moaz Al Kaseasbeh as a hero. Its such a brutal killing, as you point out. The way that it was done so highly choreographed, so horrific has really struck home not only with jordanians here but across the arab world. The key question is does this mean a turning point . Here in jordan what we are seeing is calls for the jordanian military to step up their strikes to the words of some people here annihilate isis. Will that be the same across all arab members of the coalition and other arab nations . We dont know yet. Thats what were waiting to see over the next few days. All right. Atika shubert, reporting live from aman jordan. Within hours president obama welcomed jordanian King Abdullah to the white house for a hastily arranged meeting. President obama extended his condolences. The king was already in washington for a visit that had long been scheduled. Cut the trip short and arrived back in jordan just a few hours ago. So what does this latest act of brutality mean for the global fight against isis . Joining me now is amal madulali. Shes a senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson center and former adviser to lebanon. Welcome. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Jordan vowed vengeance and it meant it. It executed two terrorists in retaliation. Some suggests that really achieves very little. Do you agree . You know we saw all the calls in jordan for revenge, and i think the pressure led to these executions tonight. But i think what you see around the in jordan even and in the arab world and the muslim world, a call for a bigger strategy a strategy thats more comprehensive that deals with the real problem. I dont think this problem you can solve it only by the airstrikes alone. I think there has to be a political component for the problem. This latest act by isis i think the brutality of it i think it woke up people for this. I think, yes this could be a turning point. I think with the flames of the jordanian pilot, the model that isis was presenting to lots of people in the region it went down in flame with them too. I think were going to see change. Were going to see people more against ice sigs. You saw in this piece demonstrations and this is new against isis and against this brutality. I think this will be the norm now. Im glad you say this could be the Tipping Point, but i want to ask you about Something Else that kind of shows it may not be. The United Arab Emirates according to the new york times, pulled out of the coalitions fight against isis because this jordanian pilot was kidnapped. What do you make of that . He is asking for improvement after Something Like this happens. This is legitimate. I think there has to be a more involved strategy. There has to be more effort to guarantee what happens on the ground if these people fall or if something happens, that they are saved. I think they have legitimate concern. This can be done. This can be rectified if theres any new plan new strategy thats morrow bust that has more components that addresses the problem, the political transition in syria has been on hold for a couple of years now. I think this is one of the main problems that we see now leading to this. Heres the thing, all military analysts i have spoken to say the only way you can really defeat isis is by fighting them face to face as in boots on the ground, so will one of these middle Eastern Countries put boots on the ground to fight isis . Well you know well see now. I think what happened yesterday is going to have an effect on people and i think people are going to rethink their strategy. I think people are going to look at the many options, and this is one of the options. I think this is the challenge now, how you going to go to the next step and what kind of strategy youre going to have because so far the strategy hasnt succeeded as was hoped.

This dash cam footage from taiwan is as incredible as it is horrifying. The extraordinary scene from cnn affiliate tbbs shows the trans asia atr 72 shortly after takeoff. Then the unthinkable. The plane cart wheeling over an elevated highway slamming into a barrier and then crashing the passing taxi ditching into the keelung river below. The 58 passengers and crew were on board.

Trans asia Officials Say the plane was knew and recently serviced. This is the second deadly trans asia crash in seven months. Translator i would like to express our deep apologies to the victims and our crews. Again, we express our deep apologies. Reporter family members were left angry and distraught. Translator we had to contact the airline first. The airline didnt Pay Attention to us. Theyre busy confirming information. Their attitude is terrible. Reporter the reasons for the crash are unclear, but the recovered flight data recorders should help investigators understand just what went so horribly wrong. Well searchers, as we speak, carol, have been looking through that debris trying to find any sign of survivors. Its quite extraordinary. As the plane cart wheeled over and landed in the shallow water, it landed on its back or on its top in fact so the passengers would have been totally disoriented, terrified, upside down and still some of them managed to effectively walk away from the wreckage. Tragically some five bodies have been identified by forensic investigators. Theyve given three of those bodies to the family members. Anxious minutes ticking by while they try to find anymore survivors survivors. Carol. David mckenzie reporting live this morning. Thank you. Still to come this morning. Terror on a passenger plane.

Listening to intriguing sounds when i drift off into my dreams. Others might . A fiery nightmare for hundreds of commuters in new york. Ntsb investigators heading to the scene in valhalla north of new york city. Thats where metronorth commuter train slammed into an suv at the height of last nights rush hour. The suvs driver was killed. A fireball then ripped through the trains first car. Five people died aboard the train. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo tells cnn there will be a thorough investigation. Its hard to say why the car was on the tracks and i think well wait for a full investigation before thats reached. If theres anything to learn from it, certainly the mta wants to learn from it. Deborah feyerick is in valhalla doing some investigating of her own. What did you learn, deborah . Reporter it appears that this tragic accident was part of a chain of events. There was an earlier accident on the highway. There was a lot of heavy traffic especially on the back roads. Were told by a county official that the cars were sort of nose to nose and at pun point the woman in the mercedes suv pulled onto the tracks and when the gates began to close she simply couldnt get off in time. All of that is part of the investigation that the ntsb is going to be undertaking. Theyre looking at not only human error but medical records of the driver how the fire spread the crossing gates, signals. It appears that after the train collided with that vehicle and pushed it down the tracks there was a huge explosion and the third rail of the rail tracks pushed up through the first train car sending a surge of electricity and that proved fatal to some of the passengers in that first car. All of this under investigation. The ntsb on its way. They should be here in the next few hours. This may have been human error. If it was some sort of a safety issue that triggered this then clearly they will recommend certain changes, but it appears that the woman simply pulled onto the tracks right now and once those gates came down it was difficult for her to get off in time carol. So help us understand. Its a traditional Railroad Crossing right . So would the lights have been flashing when she tried to cross the tracks and then the arm came down . Is that what they think happened . Reporter thats what it sounds like. What the county officials are telling us is that really its bumper to bumper traffic here because everybody was trying to avoid the highway where the first accident occurred. So bumper to bumper traffic and what ends up happening is she pulled forward anticipating that she could get off in time because the gate, it appeared had not lowered. So once however, those gates came down she got stuck. And then you know i just cant believe the panic on board that train in that first car because its why did the train catch on fire . Because of the leaking gasoline from the suv . Do we know . Reporter it could have been a number of things. What happened after the train collided with the car, it pushed the Jeep Cherokee about ten train car lengths, so quite a distance. Quite a distance. And there was a huge explosion, it caught fire. You see the huge plumes of dark black smoke. The explosion caused the third rail to effectively come up and shoot through that first train car. That is what were being told by a county official who the mayor, the high official in town. Thats what we are being told. It was just a series of tragic events that began when people leaving the city wanted to avoid one accident and unfortunately a second accident occurred. All right.

The confirmation for ashton carder to start in just minutes. The Senate Armed Services committee spearheading it. Carter the former Deputy Defense secretary, has served in the pentagon in two administrations. Hes also a Rhodes Scholar that received his ph. D. In theoretical physics. Hes known as an expert in managing budgets as well as weapons acquisitions. Well keep you posted. If confirmed as defense secretary, handling the threat from isis will likely top the agenda from Ashton Carter. The terror group still has one remaining american hostage. We still dont know much about her, only that she is 26 years old. She worked for an aide group and that she was kidnapped by isis in august of 2013. So lets talk about that with fran townsend. A Cnn National Security analyst and former Homeland Security adviser. Good morning, fran. Good morning, carol. Do you think this woman is still alive . You know hard to say. We havent seen any recent proof of life but thats not to say that they dont still have her. What we know now is that isis tends to make ransom demands however unreasonable they are, and they seek publicity. The one hopeful sign is having seen no evidence of her death either that she which isis is prone to be putting out as we saw from the horrific video they disseminated yesterday, the murder of the jordanian pilot, maybe she is still alive. But if she is isis ought to expect that American Military forces are looking for the intelligence that would permit them to launch a rescue operation. I want to hold off on the rescue operation for a second and go back to something that youve said. Since theres been no Video Evidence put out by isis that this woman is even in captivity, youre saying thats a positive sign . It is carol. I mean look. What you would hope for is a positive sign proof of life. That is some video or photograph that would confirm that sh
