That the engineer missed something or operator error. help us understand what these other possibilities are. how can the engineer not be in some way responsible. >> i believe he is responsible. there's certainly a small possibility of a mechanical problem. when you've got a train going twice the maximum speed of 50 miles an hour, to me it's a no-brainer. it's intuitively obvious to the casual investigator the train was going way too fast. generally speaking that's going to be an engineer operating failure. >> so when it comes to his story, mayor, i want to get your take on this, the engineer's...

Actually automate -- make it impossible to go above the speed into a turn. >> yeah. it takes a bit of that human element away. now what happens is the engineer will get a signal to reduce his speed. if the engineer doesn't take some type of affirmative action to do that to get into compliance, the signal system will essentially stop the train. >> and we have -- that technology exists? >> it's out there, it's developing and evolving, and it's out there, and we're still looking at it, and railroads are striving to implement, but yeah, it's out there. >> now, in terms of implementing positive tra...

And whatever speed it was going at, pushed it out. pushed it up. and -- we just flew, almost felt like flying. it wasn't the right kind of flying. >> just one of the many stories from the passengers who survived this rail crash. investigators even at this hour appear to be on the scene. you can see this is the live image there. investigators continue to focus on speed in the crash. left seven dead. injured more than 200. traveling at twice the speed limit. 50 miles. 80 kilometers. rounded a bend and jumped the rails. >> the engineer, brandon bostian, hit the brakes moments before the crash. po...

Information. clearly something happened something went wrong in that engine compartment with the engineer. and because of the expertise of the ntsb and the quality of their investigatory ri process, obviously we're all hopeful that we'll get answers to those questions. the 106 miles an hour now what you're sharing or what they shared earlier, the speeding up of the train going into the curve, we know the straightaway was even rated at 80 miles an hour. so the train was already going too fast on the straightaway let alone on an s curve. many questions still need to be resolved. the bottom line ...

That's fundamental and having a huge impact on how they are trying to tackle this problem. more female police officers are being brought in. >> should change how we track them, look at them and stop them from being recruited in the first place. thank you so much. speculation flies in amtrak train crash. we leader from one of the lead investigators quickly, don't jump to conclusions too soon. this as the engineer's attorney says his client doesn't remember a thing. later the trouble with being jeb. a college students clashes with 2016 maybe sort of not yet announced presidential hopeful and...
