>> the same as the text message. he sounded a bit in shock. he really couldn't talk much at that time. he's being seen for and cared for and i didn't get much of a chance at all to talk to him. >> what is he like as an engineer in terms of the way he approaches his job and conversations you've had about it? >> the best. the best. safety is his number one goal. if you were riding any kind of a train, this is the man you want to be your engineer. he is the best of the best. >> you say that based on what? because obviously, i think there is a lot of people that -- that would make them raise their eyebrows given what has happened. you have no doubt that -- you believe whatever happened to this train was not the result of error on his part? >> that is correct. and -- it's -- as many friends

incorporated which is a licensed locomotive engineer. thanks for being with me paul i appreciate it. >> yes, how are you doing? >> i'm well thank you, sir. it looks like when you look at these images like appearance a rock or something came up and hit the windshield. when you think about a train going this fast outside for hundreds of miles, you think that that could easily happen. is it odd to you to see something like this? >> well it is unusual, but it does happen. in fact it's the reason why the federal railroad administration implemented regulations requiring a type of window glazing called type 223 glazing, which is used on all locomotives and passenger cars. and the reason for this glazing is to keep objects that could be thrown at the train or fall off from overpasses or through tunnels from impairing the locomotive engineer or injuring passengers. so when you see an impact as you

see on the locomotive number 601 that was on the amtrak train, and the septa lead passenger car, you see that there is significant impact damage to those windshields which would indicate that something significant was hurled at the front of the train and prior septa train. >> something significant. it would indicate you say something significant hit that windshield whether it was hurled or not, no one knows. that's why this is being investigated. would a rock do that? >> i think a rock would cause some chipping but i'm not an expert on what the impact results look like. but i can tell you that what it looks like it looks like something fairly large. obviously the person or persons that caused this on both trains were focusing on the locomotive engineers in both cases. they were on that side of the cab, they were aware enough to throw objects, it looks like a

five days after eight people were killed in a horrific amtrak train derailment 21 people remain in the hospital some of them critically injured. today the federal railroad administration is demanding urgent changes. this afternoon it ordered amtrak to make several immediate modifications to its trains to prevent a similar tragedy. erin mclaughlin has the details. >> reporter: poppy, we're just hearing from the federal railroad administration that they are instructing amtrak to take a number of steps to improve safety along that very busy northeast corridor. it says that the following will be formalized with an emergency order in the coming days including ordering amtrak to install technology to control speeds along that northeast corridor including automatic train control, which detects when a train is above the speed limit and automatically applies train brakes. they want it in the area of the

this happened and that this engineer was put into a situation where he was out of control, let's say, or out of control of the train and unconscious perhaps for a very brief period of time. and this engine is a very powerful high horsepower locomotive designed to accelerate passenger trains very quickly. so it may seem difficult for people to comprehend that this could happen so quickly but if he was unconscious even a minute this locomotive could have accelerated the train to a speed of 100 plus miles an hour and by the time he came to got his wits about imh and realized where he was, it may have been too late and i think that's what may have been what happened here as the engineer claims not to know what happened. >> we appreciate it. we'll stay on this and bring our viewers the developments as we have answers, as they're clearly investigating this trying to figure out how this could have happened. thanks so much paul appreciate

crash immediately. they also are ordering amtrak to assess risk at all curves along the northeast corridor and they also want increased speed limit signage. amtrak must increase they say, its wayside signage alerting engineers of maximum authorized speeds throughout the northeast corridor. it's described these as initial steps. we are still waiting to hear from amtrak. poppy. >> erin thank you very much. and at the same time one of the engineers interviewed by the ntsb yesterday says that the locomotive engineer aboard this train reported his windshield had been struck by an object. passengers aboard the acela train and a septa train on the same corridor that same night reported something had happened to their trains. you see all three images. it looks like something had hit the windshield of all three of those separate trains. because of this, the fbi has joined the investigation. let's bring in our next guest, president of rail power,
