Karen. The Train Derailment causing a big impact on your morning commute. Im going to have the very latest on the roads and the rails coming up. And right now when you go to the scene hundreds of fire and Police Officials are swarming that area of the amtrak derailment right now and then theyre going to be joined by federal officials later this morning. All getting going trying to answer the question what happened here around 9 30 last night there heres what we know so far. At least five people are dead. 65 passengers were taken to numerous hospitals in philadelphia. Six of the patients are in critical condition. Now the train involved is train 188. It was headed from washington d. C. Up to new york city and then it derailed in the Port Richmond section of philadelphia. Again around 9 30 last night. Six cars and the engine off the tracks, just as cue out there and a lot of questions about how this all happened and why. Well be following this story on the air and online on 6abc. Com throughout the morning. Im matt odonnell, along with tamala edwards. We sends you to gma. Injured they were using vans to gethem to nearby hospitals and we heard from the passengers who were using the lights on their iphone, their smartphones to find their way out of the darkness. Overnight, the frantic search for passengers. You can see the flashlights as search and rescue teams surround the cars that came off the trtrack. Incredible scenes of destruction along americas busiest rail line. The train tilted over and rolled. Reporter 9 28 eastern, the first emergency call. The new york city bound amtrak train starting in washington, d. C. Taking off at 7 10 p. M. 238 passengers 5 crew members on board derailing in the Port Richmond section of philadelphia. One train looks like its completely in pieces. Reporter almost immediately the images of the wounded, bloodied but able to walk away from the crash. Some crawling through emergency window others climbing through the roof of the strange. From above you can see the scope of the wreckage the train reduced to twisted metal, shattered glass, its engine detached three cars on its side one flipped over seven cars in all off the track. I heard like a big bang. Reporter this morning from inside the train, images capturing the chaos and the fear. Passengers trying to escape describing the luggage that had been flies over their heads before those cars came to a screeching halt. Keep crawling okay. Crawl forward, sir. Shut down the entire northeast corridor. We have a major event here. We have people on the tracks and a couple cars overturned. Reporter First Responders rushing to the scene pulling out passengers who were still trapped in the overturned cars. It happened in seconds. Reporter more than 100 passengers sent to area hospitals, so many they were using vans and buses to drive the injured to the hospital. First responders still searching this morning still unable to say whether everyone is accounted for. Former congressman Patrick Murphy who was on the train capturing these image, passengers pulling themselves up from the floor. Human nature kicks in. There were people that were they didnt care about anybody else. They were getting off the train, stepping over people. The guy next to me was unconscious and i got him up. He was believe it or not okay. Reporter overnight the mayor of philadelphia on the scene describing the horror unlike anything hes ever seen. It is an absolute disastrous mess. Reporter the recovery effort pushing forward as federal investigators now arrive on the scene to determine what caused this deadly crash. Authorities here on the scene now telling us the death toll now up to six and, again, they have not accounted for everyone on this train and keep in mind its unlike a plane. You dont have an assigned seat just a ticket you go on and sit where you want so difficult to make sure everyone has been accounted for. If you dont stow your luggage, you put it above you and thats why passengers are describing the luggage flying through midair. One woman telling me she could feel passengers bumping up into her until the train came to a halt and flipping on its side. Much more from the scene in a couple of moments. George, back to you. Thanks david. Were joined by two of the survivor, beth daves and paul chung. Thank you both for joining us. Beth, i can see youre a little banged up there. I hope youre feeling okay. Tell us what happened. So i mean it was i take this trip between philly and new york pretty often. I mean at first it was just a regular ride. I was on the phone. I hung out with my friend. About that time it felt like we were just taking a wide turn to the right. And then like it kind of it just had started to like roll over and it was just dark and you could just there were just bodies and seats and everything kind of falling around me and i mean it was kind of that slow motion moment. I was in the third car and it actually tipped to the side so the only way to get up was actually up through the side which is the roof and then the car started to fill up with smoke so i mean i remember someone saying very calmly you know, we need to get out of this car so we climbed up to the ladder. We had to slide off the side of the at the car which is like a good eight feet. Paul let me ask you. It seemed to happen in slow motion. You first felt the shakes and then everything went haywire. Yeah i was at the back of the train and, again, similar to beths story i was playing around with my phone, you know streaming netflix and suddenly you know the car as if someone had slammed the brake and suddenly everything start shaking really hard and the whole train went dark then i saw some passenger also escaping from the window. Beth this must have been the more horrifying thing youve ever been through but also seemed like people kept their heads about them. You just want to hug the other survivors next to you to help people and connect with others to think about the logistics of i dont have a wallet or a shoe right now. A lot of the passengers were very brave, you know they came out very collected. Yeah. You know while in shock, everything happened really orderly. It wasnt a massive chaos. Were glad youre both okay right now. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. Thank you. Oh i cant believe it. We saw them hugging right there. Paul and beth werent traveling together but did used to Work Together at the associated press. Glad theyre okay. Have a hug like that. Musician Yameen Allworld joined us a short time ago. Please tell us how youre doing this morning. Yes, i had some minor injuries to my leg actually. And can you tell us yameen what happened. What did you see . What did you feel . What did you hear . It just felt like our car was leaving the ground. I started floating in the air and i just felt my body lifting up and Going Forward over seats and start toppling. And when did help arrive and how did you get out . We could see fairly well. I turned the light on on my cell phone so we could see better and checked on other people. There was a lady stuck in between a chair so we helped her out. You know i was close to the front of the car so we just walked towards the door and i had just held the light up so people could see and get out. You were posting videos and we heard in your videos yameen you helping people and just doing anything that you could. Many people would like to think they would act the same way in a situation like that. Was it just an instinct that kicked in with you . Yes. I didnt have to think twice about it. It was just you know i was there, i was an able body and so i was just trying to do what i could to help people. I know that you emcee for quest love and he sent out a nice tweet about you overnight. He said thank god that you are here to literally see another year. Today is your birthday. Yes, yes. Today is my birthday yes. And i know that youre feeling very very grateful this morning, arent you . Yes, im so grateful yes. Yameen thank you. I know you and others and ourselves included are thinking of those who were not as fortunate but thank you so much. Yes. Thank you. You take care. Thank you, thanks for having me. God bless everyo captioning here. Captioning ready ters in philadelphia so it was here that some of the most critical cases came. 54 patients trnted to this one hospital alone. Many of them just minor cuts and scrapes but eight critical cases and one person died here overnight. Level 3 mass casualty incident which means basically that there were too many casualties for any one hospital to handle. In this case 150 plus robin. Thats more than half the train. It is. All right, david, thank you. We go back to the scene now. David muir is there with david kerley who covers transportation for us. David. Reporter and, robin as you know we learned six dead from this five here at the scene. One later at the hospital and you and i were talking that many of these injuries are severe chest injuries. The next logical question how fast was that train going . Federal investigators on the scene. Theyre coming. Speed is one of the factors. You and i were able to get around and see one of these mangled cars and even though they are damaged severely the investigators will learn a lot about what happened to this train. One train looks like its completely in pieces. Reporter the train derailed and broke apart on a corner with a reported speed limit of 55 miles an hour. The pictures tell the story. The engine and all seven cars jumped the tracks. We have train cars that are completely overturned on their side ripped apart and the engine completely separated from the rest of the train. Reporter the engine and two cars landing upright. Three on their side one nearly on its roof. This electric locomotive is high tech. Just a year old and can reach up to 125 miles per hour. Investigators will look at that engine, the cars the track. A report two years ago said rails for amtrak trains are in desperate need of repair and investigators will look at the curve the train was negotiating. This is where the train was captioning readyell has been destroyed and overturned completely. Reporter despite all this destruction crash investigators will find clues in the mess to tell us why amtrak train 188 jumped the rails as it was leaving philadelphia. And you talk to the people who live here in philadelphia and cant believe this happened right here in their backyard but theyll also remind you there was another train accident right here more than 70 years ago. More than 70 years ago, different circumstances we shui think. It jumped and nearly 80 people were killed. It seems to be a coincidence it happened in the same play. Ntsb on their way right now. Youll be with me for world news tonight. Until then back to george in more from deborah hersman. The former chair of the ntsb. Now president of the National Safety council. Deborah, tell us what this go to team, the ntsb go to team will do right now. The daylight is really helpful for them. Theyll be securing the scene, gathering any perishable evidence and doing documentation. Key to the team will be grabbing those recorders right away. Theyve got event recorders and also video recorders on many trains and so theyll be looking at those very closely. What can they learn from those black boxes . So the black boxes will tell them things like speed, throttle position, braking, but also there are often inward and outward facing video cameras that will tell them a lot of information about the track conditions and the environmental conditions and they will be looking at every train that came through earlier to see if they had any trouble reports coming through that same section of track. As david said there have been some concern, there has been some concern about these tracks needing a lot of repairs. You know i will tell you our infrastructure when it comes to transportation is critical. Whether its highways or rails or our airports we have to invest in our infrastructure to make sure that its in good repair and that its going to last us. How about the possibility of human error . Whats it going to take to rule that in or out . Well theyll be looking very closely at the human, the machine and the environment and so those recorders will tell them about captioning readys gem alone in the cab operating theyll want to talk to that person as soon as possible. Okay deborah hersman, thanks very much. The fbi also on the scene this morning, Homeland Security involved as well. Lets go to Pierre Thomas for more on that. Any indication pierre of foul play . Reporter not so far, george. Transportation investigators are the lead but the fbi has sent agents to the scene and stands ready to assist as needed. Sorts say theres no evidence of foul play and looks like an accident but admit its too early to know what happened. Given the scale of the derailment and loss of life authorities want to knowoning ready captioning ready captioning readyasics of what caused this terrible incident. George.
