Reporter good morning, christine. We have new details on the Train Derailment this morning from the ntsb. They say the engineer of the train, Brandon Bostian, has agreed to be interviewed by ntsb officials. They say that will occur in the next few days. New data from the train that officials are giving us. They analyzed the forward facing camera in the locomotive of the train which captured images of the train before the derailment. That camera captured the display of the speed. Officials said it shows a gradual build up of speed before the end of the recording. That recording came a couple of seconds before the train derailed. It showed 16 seconds before the end of the recording, the trains speed exceeded 100 miles an hour. They did checks to the signals and controls and track from before the accident. They checked the mechanical records up until the departure of the trip. Officials say they found no anomaly anomalies. The vehicle drove over the section of the track the day before the trip and found no anomalies. They checked the signals around the junction of the track. They checked the signals and so far, they found no anomalies. We have information from rene marsh, coming from an amtrak spokesperson. The system called the positive train control which defaults and kicks in with an automatic system which slows down or stops the train. That system was in place in the southbound side of the section of the track, but not on the northbound side which is where the accident occurred. That positive train control is in place on the southbound side the spokesperson says is because the trains from new york south travel at a greater rate of speed, especially in that section of the track. It is a controversy that the system has not been in place in the northbound section. In the ntsb Officials Say the accident would not have occurred. Christine. Friends and former colleagues of Brandon Bostian are speaking out in his defense. Xavier bishop worked with him as a flagman until fired from amtrak over attendance issues. Bishop says bostian is conscious. He says he has never seen bostian take a drink. Great engineer. He was on point. If there was something he did not know he knew who to call to get the information. He did not come off as i know it all. If he wasnt sure about something, he would call and make sure that he got the proper information. He wasnt going to do anything. Im going to assume something would happen. He was thorough. You mentioned we all know this speed. We know the track and route. You know that curve is coming up. You are leaving philly and you have to go slow for a while. What i cant understand then is how can this guy who you travelled with on these tracks many times have gone into this situation so hot . Again, thats the Million Dollar question. To be honest with you, im going based on the person i know. You know, im not going to say we cant make mistakes. We are human. We all make mistakes. You know for Something Like this i dont know. There are just not enough pieces of the puzzle for me. Amtrak facing the first in likely a series of lawsuits. Attorneys for an amtrak dispatcher filed suit in federal court on thursday. Bruce phillips was driving in train 188 when the crash violently hurled him to the floor. The Attorney Says his clint is in the hospital with spinal injuries. Anytime a train is operating twice the speed of the restricted speed in that area, this just is not negligence but way beyond any train can be doing anytime. This is horrendous. Especially you have to remember the train is going through a curve. You are speeding up going into the curve. The crews pulled the body of a man previously identified as missing from the wreckage of the lead car. Mayor Michael Nutter says the discovery of 243 people known aboard the train have been accounted for. President obama offering prayers for victims and thanks to the rescuers.

Among them Italian National who was visiting the United States on business. 47yearold laura finimore and Bob Gildersleeve his body was found at the crash site discovered by cadaver dogs. This leads to an ongoing fight over rail service. President obama says we need to invest more government money. Until we know for certain what caused the tragedy, i want to reiterate what i already said. We are a growing country with a growing economy. We need to invest the infrastructure that keeps us that way. Not just when something bad happens like a bridge collapse or Train Derailment but all the time.

Well explain after the break. Im christine romans. Welcome back to early start. The amtrak engineer at controls of the deadly Train Derailment in philadelphia has agreed to an interview with federal investigators. They are hoping 32yearold Brandon Bostian was traveling at speeds topping 100 miles an hour when the train went off the tracks. The disaster killed eight people and injured more than 200. We are learning that amtrak was months away from installing a new Safety System that would have prevented the derailment. Cnns tom foreman with more on that technology. Reporter christine, positive train control is about building a matrix of information around trains on the tracks. It starts with gps and satellites that tell the engineer where they are at any moment. That is augmented by stations along the tracks which pass along switches and crossings and it is all brought together by ground stations which coordinate this information and produce one very clear graphic for the engineer to look at to tell him or her precisely when to start braking to avoid having an accident. If the engineer does not respond and does not slow down when necessary, the computer would then take over these the positive part of positive train control and it would slow down or stop the train to avoid an accident. This could, in theory stop a lot of things. If you put this system fully in place, you should have no more major traintotrain collisions and no errors with switching on the tracks or crews run into by trains and importantly, you would stop highspeed derailment with a train hitting a turn or overpass too fast to handle. That would happen because the computer would take over. Important to remember, ifyou will only get rid of 2 of the collisions or derailments. There will be a lot of small events with switching yards and this system no matter how well it works, is not designed to stop trains from hitting pedestrians or cars that get on the tracks. Small events that nonetheless, take hundreds of lives every year. Christine. Indeed. Tom foreman, thank you. Other breaking news this morning. A u. S.
