"fox and friends" on this wednesday starts right now. good morning. let's get to what's happening here with a fox news alert. tragedy on the tracks. five people dead after an amtrak train bound for new york derails in philadelphia. >> i got you, okay? okay? >> keep crawling okay? >> where am i crawling to. >> crawl forward, sir. >> keep crawling. >> more than 240 people trapped inside that doomed train

fighting for their lives and trying to escape there. >> nearly 140 people were rushed to the hospital six people remain in critical condition. the mayor of philadelphia mayor nutter stunned by this horrific event. >> i've been down on the tracks on the scene with my staff. it is an absolute disastrous mess. never seen anything like this in my life. and most people will say that as well. >> it is unknown if everyone there is accounted for on that train. >> we have been discussing this for most of the show. now we go live to the scene. the sun is coming up and we're getting our first look at the tragedy on the tracks that happened about 9:30 eastern time. >> rick leventhal is live on the ground with the latest. we're looking at helicopter images. i can't tell if that is the lead car or if it's the engine. but that car we just showed is

completely aly obliterated. >> a mangled mess and the cause of this horrific and violent accident is still unclear at this hour h. we know that amtrak 188 was on its way from d.c. to new york. it left the 30th street station in philadelphia about ten minutes before this crash occurred. it was at or near full speed. passengers say the train decelerated and everything started to break and the cars went tumbled. seven cars tracks here in the port richmond neighborhood. sending the passengers and crew flying out of their seats. five people killed. six critically injured among the 140 transported to hospitals. this was a level three mass casualty. hundreds of first responders racing to the scene and using hydraulic cutting tools to cut through the metal and pull people out to safety. we spoke with one of the

survivors. she just boarded the train for philadelphia. she broke her collar bone. >> we left the station, seven minutes later, it just -- felt like it was a sharp curve, like they were going around a curve. all of a sudden my head hit the window and we were going down just flipping and chairs on top of me. people being thrown and chairs were on top of me. >> and ntsb go team is scheduled to be on scene this morning to begin the investigation into what happened here. amtrak forced to suspend service on the busy corridor between philadelphia and new york. it could be shut down for some time as they work to clear the debris from the tracks and figure out what went wrong and why. if anyone had a friend or family member on this train, there is an amtrak hot line to call.

800-523-9101. the investigation resuming and good ginning in earnest this morning. >> thanks for that number rick. national transportation safety board set to arrive this morning. and a briefing 11:00 a.m. we'll bring that to you live. joining us now is a college student who was on the train. he and his mom spent last night in the emergency room right after the crash. we're thankful that you seem to be okay. you're speaking with us now. thanks for joining us this morning at "fox and friends." tell us what happened. >> yeah. so last night we're on the train and everything was going fine. and there was like a two second span when the train started to shake and all of a sudden we were thrown against the window.

and for a couple seconds we were just wandering, we were in shock. we didn't know what happened. eventually the train stopped. the train -- there was smoke in the train. we were worried the train was going to blow up so we thought we should get out of the train. so i was with my mom and a suitcase had fallen on top of her. she was in a lot of pain. my first priority was to get her off the train. so i got her off the train. after that i looked around i was standing up i was walking. i was fine. i was lucky. i looked around and everyone else in my car was in a lot of pain. there were people bleeding. their faces were bleeding. people with broken bones. since i was in a position that i could help i did my best to help everyone get off the train.

>> which car were you in and how is your mom? >> we were in the last car, so we were pretty fortunate. but our car was still on its side. but my mom is doing a little better now. still very sore obviously. but no major injuries. >> so how long did this whole thing take from the moment you felt something wrong until the train actually stopped and you found all this debris on top of you? how long was that period? >> it couldn't have been more than ten seconds. >> are you okay right now? >> i did go to the emergency room. i hit my head pretty hard. but other than that i just had a couple scratches. compared to what so many other people -- what happened to so many other people it was really nothing. i was very lucky. >> did you see people helping one another in this tragedy?

>> yeah. people were helping one another. definitely. anyone that could help was helping. >> this particular accident occurred at an amtrak curve. did you feel the train tilting to one side before it derailed? did it feel like you were going extraordinarily fast or about right for the road? >> obviously, it all happened so fast. but i mean you could feel we were going on a curve. it didn't feel like we were going extremely fast. it felt like we were going at a normal speed. but like i said the traen just started shaking for two seconds. before we knew it we were pressed up against the window. >> when you look at your car did it flip or go off the track and fall to its side? >> our car just fell on its side. but looking -- once we got off the car, obviously looking up some of the middle cars and the

front cars flipped over. there was a lot of damage. >> max, as you escaped the train, we looked at the number of firefighters that were called on the scene and the vehicles that were there. and 240 people on board describe how chaotic it was that were escaping the train? >> the first responders were great. there were so many of them. they tried to keep it as calm as they could. no one knew what was going on. it all happened so fast. but -- i mean obviously, there is going to be people that are freaking out. >> sure. >> but the first responders did a great job of trying to calm everyone down and getting everyone away from the train. >> i think it was ladder number ten that was there first to respond. a moment ago you said you were afraid the car was going to

explode. why was that? >> as soon as the train stopped and everyone kind of like stood up and look realized what had happened like there was smoke coming from the car. so first thing that came to our minds is that maybe there was going to be an explosion. so we just got out of the car as quickly as possible. >> it's also an elecriified train. >> there were wires down we found out later. >> where were you heading and what are you going to do now? >> my mom got discharged about 5 obama. we're on our way back to new jersey right now. >> max, he's 19 years old and just finished his freshman year at emery. what a trip he had overnight in

route to new jersey. thank you very much. tell your mother we're thinking about her. >> give her our best. >> i will thank you for having me. >> let's take a look now. you heard the up close and personal about what happened 9:30 last night. we trying to find out the fate of the 238 on board. >> this is one of the busiest corridor line in america. 2,200 trains operating on the d.c. boston route per day. in 2015 it carried 11.6 million emergency on this line through amtrak. it's a ton of people that go this way each and every day. >> let's talk a little bit about how safe train travel is in this country. metro north here in the new york city area we told you about this. in the braungs four dead and 70 injured when a train crashed. remember the woman was stopped in the tracks.

in north carolina amtrak derailed in 2015 as well. 55 injured. earlier this month amtrak hit a truck in louisiana, one dead. and two injured as well. >> the deadliest that amtrak ever experienced was september 22, 1993 there was a crash in mobile alabama. 47 people lost their lives. the number with this crash as we know of is five. >> look at the location of this actually. it's a similar junction right here. this is 71 years ago. 79 people died. 117 injured in that moment. >> right. and back 73 years ago in 1943 at that particular -- it was also an electric train that bobbed and weaved it was going 65 miles per hour and derailed. you can see the actually crash site as we look at the google images. the train had just left the 30th

street station. they were on the curve. if you've ever taken the amtrak north out of philly towards new york city. it's right at the curve at i-95. port richmond is where it's at. and the frankford junction rail yard is what you can see. >> about 12 miles from that station. >> i was on that train track sunday night. so i know exactly where it was. >> 13 minutes after the hour. >> when we return more on that breaking news out of philadelphia. the deadly amtrak train derailment sending delays off the rails up the east coast. if you are taking amtrak today, chances are you're not. there's some facts about seaworld we'd like you to know. we don't collect killer whales from the wild. and haven't for 35 years. with the hightest standard of animal care in the world, our whales are healthy.

a fox news alert. the sun is rising over a scene of a deadly amtrak derailment in philadelphia giving us a look at the destruction there t. five people have been killed. six people are in critical condition. 140 people have been injured. there are people unaccounted for. an ntsb go team will arrive at the crash site this morning to start their own investigation in just a few minutes. you will hear straight from another eyewitness who was trapped inside that train. >> stand by for that. yesterday president obama accused fox news of propagating harmful stereotypes about poor americans. >> i have to say that you know if you watch fox news on a regular basis, it is a constant

menu. they will find folks who make me mad. i don't know where they find them. i don't -- i just want a free obama phone or whatever. >> or whatever. the president went on to say we need to change our media outlets are reporting on poverty. joining us is stewart varney from fox business. it's extraordinary the president of the united states has decided his policies for the lack of six years aren't to blame. it's a cable outfit. >> i think the president is spinning the failure of his own policies. i think he is blaming us -- i think we are an honest messenger. look at food stamps. we've been asking it why is it after six years of recovery there are still 12 million more people on food stamps today than

when the president took office. why is that? surely that's the failure of the president's policy. what about obama phones? why is it that we're giving away 13 million obama phones after six years of recovery? why are we doing that. the earned income tax credit. we're looking at the program that delivers millions of checks every year as a tax refund to people who never paid a dime of tax in their lives. why are we doing this? we're questionings why we're at this point. six years into the recovery. >> if we had these type of attitudes and it's your fault, it's your fault. we never would have had welfare reform in the 90s. they say you don't like the poor. we're trying to have less poor people. >> the president has created a policy or a culture of dependency. if you're giving all of this you're keeping people to some

degree trapped. >> if you criticize you're looking down and being cond snding. >> i am criticizing the program, the policy. not the people getting it. >> which is objective. and what viewers in america deserve. they deserve the truth. when the president gives a social slap on the wrist. what he's saying if you're watching this this is what they're doing. what he's trying to do is shield americans from the truth, don't you think? >> i think that is true. the truth is that after six years of so-called recovery we're still handing out an enormous amount of money which we cannot afford and driving us much deeper into debt. >> the speech yesterday was about poverty. if you don't want to be poor usually you wind up with a job. that is the answer. yet you look at the black unemployment rate it's staggering. >> the president is covering up the shrinking of the middle class and the decline and financial position of america's middle class. he's not admitting to it.

>> he and jon stewart watch more than fox news than anybody. >> the black unemployment rate is 9.6%. >> the teenage unemployment rate is phenomenal. >> we will be watching you on fox business. >> 11:00 a.m. eastern. >> coming up our top story, over 100 people hurt and being treated at several hospitals in philadelphia. what kind of injuries did the passengers of the deadly trail derailment have and how much of a casualty has this scene? dr. marc siegel is going to join us with that next. across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal.

so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching.

tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

we are back with a fox news alert. we are expecting a press

conference in the next few minutes on the deadly amtrak train derailment in philadelphia. >> these images from a helicopter over the philly area north philly where it happened last night at 9:25. five people are dead and 140 people went to the hospital after all seven cars including the engine went off the tracks going around a curve in north philly. >> social media igniting the accounts of hundreds of passengers that were trapped inside. >> keep crawling okay? >> where am i crawling to. >> crawl forward, sir. >> keep crawling. >> wow. at this hour the ntsb is on scene trying to piece together what happened. the first hand accounts are helping a lot. on the phone right now is rick leventhal. he was with us 30 minutes ago. what are you seeing?

>> well they pushed us back from the scene. so we can't really show you live from this location what it lookslikelook like right now. investigators have been there throughout the night and are there this morning trying to piece things together and get through the cars and figure out what went wrong. you mentioned the curve. we'll hear a lot about that curve. that's where this accident occurred somewhere in the curve. it's described as a long curve. the train was at or near full speed. the question is whether it was going too fast to handle that stretch of track. seven cars went off the tracks and there were 238 people on board and five crew members. mass casualties, five killed 6 critically injured. mayor michael nutter was here last night. took a closer look at the scene and spoke to reporters right after. >> we have train cars that are

completely overturned on their side. ripped apart. it is a devastating scene down there. we walked the entire length of the train area. and the engine completely separated from the rest of the train and one of the cars is perpendicular to the rest of the cars. it's unbelievable. >> we heard from one of the passengers that the train decelerated like someone had slammed on a break before things started to shake and cars started tumbling off the tracks. the ntsb has a go team here that will begin this investigation. we can tell you that amtrak has suspended service between philadelphia and new york. we're told it will be suspended through at least the end of the week because of the conditions on the tracks. if anyone is worried about a loved one or friend that may have been on the train. there is a hot line.

800-523. 1901. >> is there a possibility it could be operator error? the tracks could be in the wrong position wrong color lights, something like that? >> we've seen that before. it could have been someone operating the train that made a mistake or fell asleep. we've seen that as well. we don't know. that will be a key focus of the ntsb. what was the condition of the people on board, the crew members. what were they doing at the time of the crash what were the conditions of the tracks. how fast the train was going. >> the black box will tell us a whole lots. >> thank you for your insight. we'll check back with you in a few moments. a press conference set to take place in moments. 140 people hurt in that crash. five casualties six in critical condition. what kind of injuries are physicians and medical aids

looking at? we're bring in dr. marc siegel. a level three mass casualty where do you begin? >> high speed crash, a lot of force involved. bodies flying. the number one thing, looks like it happened which is calm people helping each other get out. not panic. when a triage center stars, they have to figure out who is the most injured. so they get out of the way people who can be moved. of the people who can't be moved, look who is bleeding who has abdominal and chest pain who has a major organ damaged. can you get fluid resuscitation. who had a head injury. when bodies flying there were a lot of head and neck injuries. you have to get people on hard boards. then you want to evacuate people who have life threatening injuries. it looks like all of that actually happened. >> according to what we have

heard from eyewitnesses and people who were there, dr. siegel the closer you were to the front of the crash, the more damage to the car you were in. the car on the -- first car that was impacted apparently completely flipped over. then we were just showing some youtube video where the people were crawling out and crawling on the roof. but the roof was where the floor should have been. >> in that kind of disorientation occurs the cars in the front had the most force, probably going to the regular speed of the train. the adrenaline you get when you're in a accident like this you don't know how injured you are. it might take minutes or hours before you know. it's up to the medical personnel on the scene. there ems workers, firefighters and in the hospitals the physicians to take a careful look to assess you for level of consciousness, breathing circumstance. >> do they go through this? do they say we're near a train

stop amtrak train these are the things we have to go through? do they drill on these type of injuries and events? >> absolutely. they have a triage system in place. they usually use a system called start where they color code how severe the injury is with red being the worst. they will empty the hospital out by the way and get more room in the emergency room for incoming injuries. >> as we look at that car right there on screen left that is completely obliterated. it seems to be aluminum and glass everywhere. you look at that and you wonder how did anybody get out of that. >> because of the protruding injuries you can get. you can get things bashing you in the abdomen and chest. you ask forrand abdominal pain. >> are you saying there's a three day window afterward where they may start to feel pain.

>> in terms of hours, minutes to hours. after the first 24 hours you probably know you're okay. the issues you'll discuss with dr. ablow coming up later. post traumatic stress. >> we had a young man on 19-year-old college student. he was with his mom. the first thing is okay the second thing is where is my mom. his mom is more injured than he is. him and his family end up okay. >> that's a great point to bring up. people have underlying medical conditions that can be brought out at the time like this. you think fractures or did something hit me. you can have a heart attack if you're prone to it. triage people have been to be on the lookout. >> with that young man that was joining us they were worried the mother had broken ribs. when you make a sudden stop you're going to up your

whole body. >> ribs can drop along. you have a problem with somebody can't breathe. this is going to sound heartless. someone who just breaks a leg or arm, if they don't have any other injury they have to be taken care of after someone who had a chest wound. >> is that where the color coded -- >> absolutely. >> if something happened you would have a doctor like dr. siegel on my car to help out. >> the key is getting doctors involved. the ems workers, even more important to get people stabilized and to the hospital. >> credit to the workers that were there. let's bring in journalist beth davis who was in the third car during the crash. she joins us live right now. what happened? where were you? >> i was in the third car. i mean it was a pretty typical rain between philly and new york. i was on a call. i hung up and then suddenly the

car slid to the right hand side. it felt initially like a wide turn where you needed to catch your water or lap top or something. then it started -- it was the moment you knew it was going wrong because the car tipped over to the right hand side. >> no warning, right? you just started sliding? >> i mean yeah. like other than the wide turn it just kind of became like a tumbling. afterwards you could tell we fell on the side and slid. it's hard to tell in the moment. the car is dark and it's filling up with the dust along the road. i mean like the first, kind of -- sorry yes. >> how were you able to actually escape? can you describe that scene for us? >> yeah. so i mean initially after it slowed down the car had

actually stopped. that's when you can hear people you know the woman next to me was saying her legs were trapped. another women had fallen from the window into the dark. it's like helping people up. people were looking for the exits. we couldn't exit towards the left or right which is -- we had to exit up through this side which is now the ceiling. we actually had to use the seats as a ladder to climb up to the top. and so people were helping each other navigate their way up there. some people in the car were too injured to make that kind of climb. and then i mean you're up about eight feet high looking down. then you'd see the second and the first car, the second car, you just weren't seeing people coming out. at the moment you're thankful you're on top of the car. we had to actually jump down eight feet from there. i mean me and other people are

missing shoes is and things. other survivors were helping people down from there. then it's just kind of waiting around because you're not sure what to do after that moment. >> sure. >> so first responders started to come at that point. part of the reason we left the car was because it was filling with smoke so we knew we needed to get out of there. but about that time first responders were coming. they let us know there was downed wires. they wanted to help people who couldn't get out. they kind of walked the people who could walk out to a safe area on the street. >> okay. you were on the train in the third car last night when it flew off the rails in north philly thank you very much for joining us live beth. we know you had a harrowing night. thank you for telling us your story. >> 17 minutes before the top of the hour. breaking news right now. a press conference expected in a matter of minutes from temple university hospital.

we will bring you there live. we'll have the latest on the amtrak crash. next.

new flonase allergy relief nasal spray. this changes everything. flonase is the 24 hour relief that outperforms a leading allergy pill. when we breathe in allergens our bodies react by over-producing six key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. most allergy pills only control one substance, flonase controls six. and 6 is greater than 1. so go ahead, inhale life, excite your senses, seize the day and the night. new flonase. 6 is greater than 1. this changes everything.

a fox news alert. we are expecting a press conference in the next couple of minutes on the deadly amtrak trail derailment in philly. authorities starting to piece together what may have gone wrong. that's at temple university hospital where a number of the people were taken last night. what could have caused the crash? joining us is the former chairman of the ntsb. i know it's early, it would all be speculation. so instead let's focus on what the ntsb is going to do. what are you -- is the ntsb going to focus on first? >> you know the daylight is

important to them. they'll have an opportunity to take a look at the scene, collect some perishable evidence. do documentation and gather the recorders, both the event recorders and the video recorders that might be on board. >> absolutely. there are some passengers on the train that said there were announcements saying there was no air conditioning on the train due to electrical problems. some of those comments are coming in. is that something these investigations will look at as well whether an electrical problem could have been involved from the start? >> absolutely. there is lecrification along the northeast corridor. they will be looking at the power supply and any operation of the train. >> when you hear derailment with all your years of experience what are the thoughts it could be between operator error, between the mechanical track problems what are some of the things we should be looking at? >> they'll look very closely at

the human, machine, and the environment. when thechise to the human, it's the operator how they were operating the train, the speeds they were operating with. whether they were complying with the track requirements at the time. the equipment is incredibly important. looking at any defects or any problems any mechanical issues. and the environment with the track. huge when you're looking at derailments to make sure that that track is in good condition. there is so much traffic that goes through this area every day. the good news is most of the trains have video on them and they'll be able to see what those trains saw going through there. >> let me ask you this we talked to two people who were on the train. they told the same story. as soon as it started going off the track and they made impact. people were flying throughout the train cars. why don't american trains have seatbelts? they've got seat belts on trains in europe. >> you know this is long been a concern. i think particularly when you

look at the environment on trains they aren't required to restrain passengers luggage or even the surfaces on those trains. sometimes in the cafe cars you've got hard areas, tray tables lots of surfaces for people to impact with. and so you want to look at survivability and look at how people are able to weather not just a major derailment like this one but also a minor event. >> indeed. the form wereer chair of the ntsb thank you for joining us. this crash is the latest in a string of train accidents across the country. is there a problem with the country's railways? the chairman of the homeland security committee here live next.

a fox news alert. the nation is in shock over the derailment of that amtrak train in north philadelphia last night. at least five dead and more than 140 people were taken to the hospital. as washington wakes up this morning, what's going to be the fallout? joining us is the chairman of the committee of homeland security. i know it's your business every time something big like this happens. the first thing you think about is could it be terror? >> absolutely. i get a briefing this morning to -- all indicators point to the fact it was probably not a terrorist event. that's always a concern. we haven't completely ruled it out. passengers trains have been a target of al qaeda for quite

some time going back to the spanish attack and the attack on the trains in the uk. then the new york city subway case several years ago. it's hard to stop these kind of events on trains. we don't have the same level of screening and security than we would have on airline passengers planes. it's a little different deal intelligence is very very important to stop these kind of events. >> i was on this train sunday night. i was struck by where are the fences? there's easy access. these are very vulnerable. if somebody wanted to put something on the tracks, it's wide open. >> k 9's are the best detectors for bombs. tsa within homeland security screens for passengers bombs which is what we're concerned about. we don't use the magmatometers

and make people take their shoes off. i do that route like you, a lot of them like going on the train instead of aof the plane. >> the upcoming obama budget does r spend more on climate change than homeland security. that seems like a disconnect. >> you'll get the event that happened in my home state, garland, these home-grown radical events when you look at the president's proposed budget he proposes over 200$200 million for climate change measures. i'm not sure what the relationship is there. when you like at line item budget for countering the home grown radical extremists zero. >> unbelievable. >> in fact you know how many people in the department work on countering violent extremists? >> how many. >> four. this is a big vulnerability

security gap. >> no kidding. thank you for getting up early and talking about the news of the day. there is going to be a press conference regarding the deadly crash in philly last night. we're going to take it live when we come back.

the reality is floods do happen. protect what matters. get flood insurance. call the number on your screen to learn more.

good morning it is wednesday may 13th. i'm elizabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. tragedy on the tracks. people sent flying from their seats as seven cars go off the rails. at least six people are dead. 140 people injured. we are live on the scene in moments. meanwhile, inside those crushed cars credible stories from the passengers who have survived. >> i don't remember anything. i did not hear any noise, did not see anything. somebody told me i had been delirious and they carried me off. >> hear from some of those survivors, that will be straight

ahead. the fallout this morning from the tragedy, a morning commuter nightmare. delays up and down the east coast as service is suspended out of philadelphia toward new york. we're live talking to commuters straight ahead. you're watching "fox and friends" live from new york city, washington, and philadelphia. we start with a fox news alert. the death toll rises at least six people dead in the philadelphia train crash. a press conference at temple university where they took many of the injuries last night underway. let's listen in. >> the daytime folks have gone home. anyone that was leaving a shift we stopped and made sure we didn't need them and they stayed and helped out. [ inaudible question ] >> it worked splendidly.

i wondered if there would be more people later, so we cleared out as much as as we could wondering if there would be folks found later. >> were you initially told there were 36 victims? did they come in ahead of the midnight hour? >> hour. >> have you been in contact with the ntsb or oem? are we expecting any other patients? >> i'm not aware that they are. there were authorities here from a variety of agencies over the night. we were in contact with the city of philadelphia. the police department the fire department. all the usual folks overnight. >> you're not aware of any other patient snz. >> i'm not aware of anymore coming in. >> [ inaudible question ] yes. 54 showed up here. we still had 25 in the hospital. the rest were treated and released. there was one person that died. many of them are still in critical condition. most of the injuries were to the limbs. >> 25 still here?

>> the person who died was it upon arriving? >> the person died here. we attempted to resuscitate the person they couldn't be revived from their injuries. [ inaudible question ] >> they're out now. >> are things calming down? >> things are calming down and we're having normal operating schedule today. the regular cases are getting done. [ inaudible question ] yeah here. yeah. there was a victim that died here after the five that were reported at the scene. >> is temple taking the most patients out of the entire -- >> i don't know. you guys probably know that better than me. i've been down in the ed all night. i don't know how the numbers came out. [ inaudible question ]

>> yeah. i don't know. you have to look back in the archives and figure that one out. but we're prepared and ready to act when something like this happens. [ inaudible question ] >> this level four means it's all hands on deck. so staff don't go home. and we call in extra staff to make sure we have enough people to respond to the emergency. it's not just nurses and doctors, it's everybody else in the hospital that makes it work. folks in the laboratory blood bank cafeteria works so we can supply food and water for the people responding to the emergency room and to the families. interpreters the whole things. it takes a village. [ inaudible question ] the patients who were awake and could talk to me were folks that were in the last two cars. i didn't speak to anyone awake who was further ahead in the train. they said it was chaotic and

difficult. the folks i talked to were injured because people fell on them or things fell on them on the train. [ inaudible question ] i don't know. [ inaudible question ] yeah. all the people that were awake and talking to me were in the last two cars. [ inaudible question ] not that i'm aware of. no. yeah. we were ready for burn patients but it didn't happen. >> as far as you were aware the patients with the most severe injuries were in the first two cars. >> i don't know. all i know the folks in the back were the ones who were talking. >> they had the least serious injuries. >> yeah. 12 patients showed up here. those three are in the are 54

number. [ inaudible question ] >> yeah, i don't know the specific incidents and the city of philadelphia compares to but it was a large incident. yeah. yeah. >> all right. i think that's good. thank you for being here. >> thank you so much. >> all right. we've been listening to dr. cushing give a briefing from temple university hospital which stayed on stand by until 12:45. 54 people were transported to temple. 25 of them are still in the hospital. one was transported there, died overnight. he said most of the injuries involved people who were hurt by flying people or luggage or things. most of the injuries of the people they've got right now, damage to limbs. >> he said all the people who were talking happened to be in the last two cars of the van. the ones in the back are the

ones that were hurt when things or people fell on them. >> they have a level four it's fascinating to learn when it's level four nobody goes home. all hands on deck. >> he also said as we look at some of the cars that flipped over last night, he said the further back in the train, those were the people who were still able to talk to him. so the further you were away from the impact area the more likely you were to survive. >> the death toll up to six. five dead on the scene, one dead from injuries. >> 140 needed some type of medical attention. let's go live to the scene of the deadly crash. as the sun comes up -- even though they pushed you back rick leventhal, we are getting more facts about what took place. we're getting more and more eyewitness accounts. >> yeah. the first call brian, steve, and elizabeth, came in at 9:28 p.m. to philly fire. this quickly developed into a

mass casualty incident. 200 police officers responded along with 18 medical units raising to the scene in port richmond east of philadelphia for the crash of amtrak 188 which left the station ten minutes earlier. believed to be at or near full speed when it reached a curve in the tracks and things went horribly wrong. seven cars including the engine left the rails. 238 passengers five crew on board. some passengers slamming into windows or each other and scrambling to climb out. most were able to get out on their own. some had to be rescued and cut out of the metal with hydraulic tools. six people confirmed dead including that most recent critical person who died at temple university hospital. more than 100 people treated in all. the people who were treated and released have to consider

themselves lucky. some are telling incredible stories this morning. >> it feels like a dream. how could this happen. you read about things or see this on the news. a plane crashes, a train derails but you don't think it will happen to you. >> of course amtrak has been forced to suspend service on the very busy northeast corridor. suspended today and possibly at least through the end of the week. there is a hot line number for people to call if they believe their friends or family loved ones were on the train. 800-523-9101. again, the ntsb has a go team on site trying to determine what went wrong and why. >> rick leventhal. thank you very much. let's bring in a passengers whoman who was on the train with his wife.

good morning to you. you go to philly to visit your son, a local police officer there. and the reason i mention the fact that your son is a police officer is you got off that train thanks to a local police officer, didn't you? >> correct. correct. one of the local police officers michael keane, who did a great job and helping people and doing his thing. >> can you describe what happened? how you experienced it from your perspective? >> i was coming out of the bathroom. thank god i made it to my seat. it was like a roller coaster went crazy. everything shifted to the right. and instantaneously everything stopped. i'm a six foot guy, 215 pounds and it threw me 20 feet in front. >> forward? >> 20 feet forward while my wife was back. i usually sit at the window and she moved to the window seat.

i think that saved her. >> how is your wife this morning? >> she is sore but i'm really hurting in my neck, my back. i got a big knot on my forehead. my hip. but, you know, i don't know how to handle this because i don't know my insurance, how it covered it. i have to speak to someone and find out how i get treated. >> let me ask you this you said there was an announcement five times by the -- >> five times, it said on board at 7:10. we didn't get on board until 7:14. five times they announced sorry for the inconvenience the air conditionings are working but the train came in with an electrical problem and it will take 15 to 20 minutes before the cars cool down. i don't know if that had anything to do with anything but jesus, if that's a problem they never should have made the train go out. maybe it was nothing. i don't know i'm not a electrician. >> i know they have different

configurations in the car. were you in a typical train you might see on metro northo were you on one of those cars where there with tables. >> i was on the car that was standing up but sideways right after -- just after the last car that was on its side. >> so you were next to the end. when you got off the train and you were helped by the police officer -- who will be joining us very shortly -- when you got off and you looked at that mangled car at the top of our screen right now. i don't think you can see it. it's a massive debris. did you think to yourself how did i survive that. >> yeah. i just -- what's funny is we were going to go sit in the first car. i'm just a little upset. we were going to sit there. when i saw the beam through the first car. somebody upstairs was watching over me. >> you know when we speak to that officer michael keane today. he will join us what would you

like to say to him today? >> i want to tell him thank you. he saved our lives. and he saved many other people's lives. regarding his own. he went back into that train and started helping people. you know why i'm emotional? because i'm glad my granddaughter wasn't on that train. three-year-old granddaughter and another police officer's one year old boy would have never made it. i seen a little boy get on the train. i hope he was okay. al >> wow. again, when this officer got on and was able to help you out, where were you and where was your wife? >> well we were -- my wife was behind me. like i said i was up in the air and i came down -- not on people because there was nobody around me. i flew over them. we got out, i started telling people who were walking to the left. i told them you need to get away from the train.

be careful of the wires that are over here. the metal, which i was a trailer mechanic i dealt with i beams. those i beams are trick and strong. they were like twisted butter. >> man. >> it was like twisted butter wires were put down. i don't know what happened. it's going to take a while. i mean, the train was moving is it supposed to be moving that fast? i don't know. i don't know i don't drive trains. i don't think i will be back on trains. >> we want to thank you for telling us your story. glad your wife is okay. >> go see a doctor about that aching back. >> we'll have more eyewitness accounts and the latest on the amtrak train crash that happened last night in just a moment. alone. let's do more. add one a day women's. complete with key nutrients we may need. plus bone health support with calcium and vitamin d. one a day women's

every sandwich a slice of legit. natural cheese off-the-block 100% real. sargento we're real cheese people. investigators continue in the philly area to try to determine what caused the amtrak train to derail last night. where the engine came apart from the cars and some of the cars just went flying. >> all right. officials are saying there appears to be no foul play. so what caused the crash? >> joining us now is former ceo of the rod chester regional transportation authority. thanks for being with us this morning. we're looking at images from last night and this morning live

shots there. when you look at the cars on the side the engine detached from the rest of the cars trailing it behind some flipped over. what do you think immediately? >> yeah. so you know what we're hearing is the the working hypothesis on the scene, and i've talked to several people on scene there, that speed may be a factor. there's a couple of things that are in play. you'll note the engine went off the high side of the curve. that begins to tell you that may be an issue. the other thing we're hearing is the rocking of the train that's it's approaching that. the back and forth eyewitnesss are telling us. the working hypothesis speed may be at play. >> when does that rocking initiate in your experience at what speed in these curves and what does that tell you? >> each situation is going to be different, obviously. but what we're hearing from the folks that are investigating on the scene and what eyewitnesses are telling us as they're

approaching the curve the rocking begins to take place. the fact the engine went off the high side begins to think the hypothesis is where we're headed. the frustrating part for americans and that there's technology in place that can help to address this. let's not get ahead of ourselves. let's assume perhaps there may be human failure here or perhaps there's infrastructure. congress loves to mandate things but don't have the money available to put these things in place. this technology is there and congress won't fund it is very frustrating. they have mandated the use of it and don't put the money behind it. >> that's a good point. >> there are cameras there and there are black boxes. we will piece together what happened. along with eyewitness accounts. >> in

a fox news alert. the train crash in philadelphia now creating headaches for commuters up and down the east coast. >> ainsley earhardt is live at penn station in new york city where the train was heading. >> hey, we are here at penn station. if you take an amtrak train to or from new york city. this is where you will arrive and leave. we went down stairs to look at the schedules everything is canceled. here is the schedule. everything on this piece of paper is scheduled to leave or

come into new york today. that's not happening because of this amtrak derailment in philadelphia. there are modifications between washington and philly and new york and boston, call amtrak or go on the website and learn about the modifications. no service between new york and philadelphia. new jersey transit is going to honor your amtrak tickets between new york city and trenton. if you go online on amtrak.com. it's canceled. everything is just shut down. one million people travelled that northeast corridor on amtrak in the month of march. a lot of people are affected. we arrived here this morning. we talked to one lady. she was actually on the train behind the one out of philadelphia. that was derailed. so they had to wait on her train for about six hours. she had a baby with her. take a listen. >> when we pulled in to philadelphia we had just got the news about the next train in front of us derailing.

so obviously, we couldn't move. we stayed there till about 2:30 in the morning. some of the passengers from 188 that was not as injured allowed us to invade their space. >> and get on the bus with them? >> yeah. >> you road to new york city together. >> we road to new york. >> what were they saying about their experience? >> they were grateful to walk away from it with minor bruises. >> she says she's going to try to leave new york city on sunday and head back down to north carolina through philadelphia. she's naughtot sure that will be a possibility. she's going to take it one day at a time. >> a devastating day of travel. let's change gears. police officer matt kinny will not be charged for the shooting

of unarmed 19-year-old. the shooting was ruled a lawful use of police force. will this change anything as police across the country? joining us is the milwaukee county sheriff. did they come to the right conclusion? this guy was on drugs, assaulted a bunch of people. it was running in and out of traffic and got shot seven times. did the investigation, for you, su suffice? >> my thoughts and prayers are with the victims of that train crash. as it relates to your question the da got it right. what was satisfying to me is this is a hyperpartisan race demagogue of a da. under the rule of law when you take the evidence the witness statements and the forensics testing, and you put that against the rule of law, he could have come to no other conclusion. i was pleased with that. i think that the baltimore

county da could take a lesson from this guy. >> this was an outside investigation, correct? >> that's correct. >> and that also is telling. you have the victim ends up -- i guess you label him as biracial which makes a difference. if you look at what's happened recently. are you surprised by the community's reaction to this verdict? >> no. it's mindless stuff going on. it's about 65 miles west of milwaukee. i'm familiar with the area. they don't know what they're marching about. i don't think they were listening to the da as he went through the step by step as to why against the rule of law he could not come to any other conclusion than to find that this officer acted reasonably in defending his life. this guy was high. he was attacking friends. i don't mean just pushing friends, he was beating friends. when the officers showed up on a call for service, by the way, he attacked the officer and the

officer feared for his life and did what he had to do to protect it. it's an unforchtunate situation. at the same time i'm not going allow this false narrative that has come up ever since the days of ferguson missouri. this false narrative about the character, honor, dedication the service, the courage of our american law enforcement officers. they go out to do a very difficult job to protect the high crime areas saving the lives of other black people. >> in the last three weeks we buried three police officers and we saw riots. didn't happen yesterday in wisconsin on tuesday. thank you for joining us this morning. >> my pleasure. 31 minutes before the top of the hour. horrifying passengers turning to social media in the molts right after the deadly derailment. watch. >> i got you, okay? keep crawling okay? >> where am i crawling to? >> crawl forward, sir. >> keep crawling. that is calm under pressure.

first hand accounts. dr. keith ablow on the difficult recovery they'll face next. i started with pills. and now i take a long-acting insulin at night. i take mine in the morning. i was trying to eat right, stay active. but i wasn't reaching my a1c goal anymore. man: my doctor says diabetes changes over time. it gets harder to control blood sugar spikes after i eat and get to goal. my doctor added novolog® at mealtime for additional control. now i know. novolog® is a fast-acting, injectable insulin and it works together with my long-acting insulin. proven effective. the mealtime insulin doctors prescribe most. available in flexpen®. vo: novolog® is used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. take novolog® as directed. eat a meal within 5 to 10 minutes after injection. check your blood sugar levels. do not take novolog® if your blood sugar is too low or you're allergic to any of its ingredients. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medicines you take. ask your doctor about alcohol use,

fox news alert now. we have breaking news. another confirmed death in the philadelphia train crash. six people dead. more than 140 injured after the seven amtrak train cars flew off the rails and broke into pieces. look. >> that's right. as the sun comes up we're getting a better look at the full scope of the devastation left behind. 238 passengers were on board train 188. there were five crew members when the train derailed in north philly. doctors say most of the injuries came from people flying around or luggage hitting them or other things. one man on board describes exactly what he saw. >> i got really lucky.

so i figured i would do my best to help. i saw everyone. i could see blood on people's faces. they can't move. their knees were out. so i just tried to do my best to help people get out of the car. >> at this hour, hundreds of emergency workers on the scene. still no word on what caused the crash. ntsb is on the scene. >> earlier we heard from an emotional passengers who credits a local police officer for helping to get him off that amtrak train and saving his life. watch. >> i want to tell them thank you. he saved our lives. and he saved many other people's lives. regarding his own because he went back into that train and started helping people. >> that was the voice of a passenger who was along with his wife saved by officer keane.

thank you for being with us. >> good morning. >> when you heard the emotional thanks for your efforts getting people off the train, what did you feel? >> it's my job. that's what i'm put on this planet to do. you know once i cleared the train like any good first responder would do size up of the scene, figure out what i had. i grabbed the flash light from a con conductor and went to work. >> what car were you in? >> i was in the last car. >> so i understand the conductor was pretty shaken up. could you describe the scene? >> chaotic. immediately when the train came to rest passengers at the very back of the train, we forced the rear door open. got outside. and i tried to converse with the

conductor. very very shaken up. and just pure chaos. >> you were a passengers on the train, you didn't have to do anything but that police officer gene kicked in. i know for a fact that you have trained for many disaster drills. but when you come face to face with it what happens? >> definitely overcome. you stand up give yourself a quick check. i had my fiancee with me on the train. give her a check. we're good to go time to move. you overcome and go to work. >> what kind of injuries did you see? >> wide array of injuries from small scrapes, bruises, bumps to serious injuries massive lacerations and so on. >> are you in good condition today? >> sore would be an

understatement. got pain throughout my body. some pretty good bumps and bruises. you know it's -- i've had better mornings. >> officer, i understand you had just gotten on the train at philadelphia's station. why were you down there? >> i was coming home. i got on the train at washington d.c. i was in washington over the weekend. i took part in the police unity tour. we arrived at the national law enforcement officers memorial yesterday morning. i was on the way home from there. >> when you look at the images this morning, particularly of the first car that is just a twisted mangled mess what goes through your head? >> the guardians were working overtime last night. they were out in full force. i didn't see that image until this morning being it light out

and from the ariel view there. >> it turns out you were one of the guardians on that train. thank you very much. >> very welcome. >> and thanks michael. officer michael keane. he doesn't want to give exactly where he works in new jersey. i hope his boss is listening and gives him the accommodationcalm accommodations he deserves. let's bring in dr. keith ablow. when you see the video, when you hear the emergency talk with us for the last 90 minutes what are your thoughts about what they're going through? >> here's the thing, what you see on the video isn't all of the wreckage of this crash. you know folks went on to that train or they had loved ones or friends on that train or colleagues co-workers with every expectation the journey would be completed. this sudden catastrophe is the kind of thing that shakes people

to their core. it makes them feel tremendously helpless. and that's the growing place for post traumatic stress disorder. we experiencing the event. having flashback and terrible anxiety. ptsd is an anxiety disorder why because of the sudden catastrophic event in their lives. >> what are the steps that someone can take having gone through something like this to deal with that ptsd that they're experiencing? >> even now, for the folks who were affected -- try to think of it as a pebble dropped in the pond. the closer you were the worst your systems might be. even in your pain you can do things to be effective. the way you respond to this are you reaching out to other people to comfort them are you remembering your loved one for

his or her incredible strengths and qualities. do these things while feeling your pain. >> we had a guy on who was walking back to his seat. he was in the aisle and went flying 20 feet. he said he would never get on a train again. >> well i would say, you know paul talk to me if you would, because here's the thing. you got to look at the probabilities here how rare this is. secondly do you want to live hostage to your fears. there's a semminal question this is a moment where these folks need to decide are we going to be hostage to our fear or walk through it feel our pain and then decide to be very very powerful. you know we always do have that choice even in tragedy. >> dr. keith ablow joining us this morning for some analysis from boston. thank you, sir. thank you. the window of social media

>> investigation underway as we speak. >> one of the things we're seeing on social media is comments about our nation's infrastructure. we need to fix it, do something. thaft that train in 1943 was also a amtrak. >> amtrak is tweeting people back. >> thank you very much. meanwhile, switching gears, rolling stone's bad journalism coming back to haunt the magazine. now there's a big lawsuit. we'll have details. breaking this hour six people are now dead in the philadelphia amtrak crash. we have more on that next.

reporter from "the washington post" who has been following this. what is the school saying about the rolling stone article and how much money did they want, 7$7.5 million how do they justify that? >> the associate dean filed a lawsuit yesterday seeking $7.5 million because she said the article damaged her reputation and her work at the school. she's beloved on campus by sexual violence advocates for good. >> the article made it sound like she wasn't trying to help the rape victim in the story. it's like i don't think you want to go and press this any further, right? >> sure. she was depicted as callus and indifferent to the claims throughout the story. in fact there is one moment in the narrative where jackie said she found two other victims who

had been sexually assaulted and she's described of having a non-reaction. in truth, other investigations in evidence has shown the dean acted swiftly to help jackie squeand provide any services she could and even offering to have her speak with the police. >> before you go do we have any idea who made the story up? was it the reporter this jackie? who was it? >> it's not clear. all that's been proven so far is that the story that appeared in rolling stone is deeply flawed and it's been retracted. it's not clear at all. >> next stop court. taylor shapiro, journalist with "the washington post." thanks for joining us. ten minutes before the top of the hour. six people now confirmed dead dozens were hurt. what legal trouble could amtrak and its crew now face. remember it's a government

fox news alert. questions remain regarding the amtrak train crash that killed six people and injured so many more over 140. what are the legal implications for the passengers and what rights do they have and for amtrak as well? joining us is civil and criminal attorney and a defense attorney. i want to start with this amtrak is owned by the government. how does that complicate things in terms of what the passengers' rights to claims are? >> it complicates it in terms of whether or not there is qualified immunity that's going

to apply for any claims that may exist for the passengers of the train or for the families of the victims that's are deceased as a result of this crash. that remains to be seen in terms of what liability, if any, is going to be assigned to amtrak to the government to any component partmakers for this train, people operating the tracks. we don't know at this point because it's too soon as far as who is going to be libel. the legal implications will become more clear. >> what specific claims would passengers and families of the deceased? >> wrongful death, product liability issues which with crashes like this, oftentimes there is something that happened with the equipment. and we just know don't yet. that's why the ntsb is investigating it. those type of reports will go to show exactly what happened in this crash. for example, if there was a

wrong switch if the switch did not work properly. or if it shifted to the conductor. if that person was sleepy and was not paying attention, that will shift liability to them. there is liability somewhere because trains are not supposed to derail. the question is exactly who, who is to blame. >> should trains have seat belts? they do in europe right now. is the federal government going to be liable for not providing seat belts for passengers on trains like this? >> you know i don't know. i don't know the best way that we deal with that from a legal perspective. what i can tell you is as a human being and someone who would be horrified to be on the train or to be a family member of somebody on the train. put seat belts on the train. we're hearing people being thrown across the train as this train flipped over. i don't see how seat belts could

be such an extreme expense for amtrak or the federal governmentabilitygovernment government. so we don't have to worry about these sort of thing said happening when situations like this occur. >> final word? >> my prayers go out to these people y. ride this train all the time. there is definitely liability on amtrak's part perhaps, because trains should not derail. and prayers up for these people. it's pretty sad. >> absolutely. our thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims. on our website is the 800 number is anybody is looking for their family there. we want to thank you for joining us on "fox and friends." up next continuing coverage of the deadly train derailment with the man who helped america through one of the most difficult tragedies we faced. former new york mayor guiliani next.

devastation in philadelphia is a familiar scene to america's mayor. what do you do in a crisis? rudy guiliani is here live. despite what we're waking up to mornings are always better with friends. let's get to our top story. tragedy on the tracks. we have just learned a sixth person has died in the horrific derailment. >> that unidentified person falling victim to massive chest injuries as reported by temple university hospital. at least 140 people were hospitalized at one point. currently eight are in critical condition. crews are still trying at the scene to make sense of what happened last night at 9:25. >> i've been down on the tracks on the scene with my staff. it is an absolute disastrous mess. never seen anything like this in

my life. and most personnel will say that as well. >> the cause of the crash and the derailment still under investigation. it happened right on a curve. >> you see in that diagram there. let's go live to the scene of the crash. with our senior correspondent rick leventhal. we know something is backing up behind you, what else can you tell us? >> behind me are some of the hundreds of police officers and firefighters who responded to this mass casualty incident last night and have remained on scene into this morning working on this scene and trying to determine or help determine what exactly went wrong. it's from the aeroulates that you can see the scope of what happened here. this seven car train with the engine buckling on the tracks for some reason.

some of the cars flipped on to their side and sliding across the ground. others just twisted sideways. people falling on top of each other. this happened last night. the first call to emergency came in at about 9:28 p.m. amtrak 188 had just left the east 30th street station in philadelphia ten minutes earlier. believed to be at or near full speed when it reached a curve in the tracks and things went horribly wrong. 238 passengers five crew on board scrambling and falling into each other as the cars buckled. some of the people were able to climb out of the train cars by themselves. others had to be rescued. some had to be cut out of the train cars. the death toll has risen to six now. one more person who was critical has died. there are more than 140 who were treated in all. we heard earlier from the chief medical officer at temple university hospital about this incident. >> you mentioned a lot of police officer and firefighters. those numbers are over 200

police officers 120 firefighters. are all the passengers just to be clear, are they still not accounted for in completion? >> well our understanding was the best information we had was that all the passengers had been accounted for. we know that they tried to get everyone off the train initially. get them to help as quickly as hay could. they did a secondary pass through the train cars to insure they had gotten everyone out. they had to check everyone that had been transported against a manifest. as far as we know everybody has been accounted for. we know from looking at the airules there are dozens of people still on the scene here. they are obviously making sure they haven't missed anyone. >> i understand ladder ten, first responders found two people under the train. but in something like this we've heard so many people talking about as soon as we deraign

derailed everything was flying. there are probably people who don't have their phones. it's been hard for family members who know they were on train 188 and i haven't heard from them. >> there is a number to call. amtrak has a hotline. 800-523-9101. that's the amtrak hotline. of course the big question is why did this happen. we know the ntsb has its go team on site. >> you're in a lot of chaotic scenes. as you look around do you sense there's a sense of control in the chaos. >> absolutely. and this was, you know as far as as we can tell handled expertly from the very beginning. they dispatched crews, they elevated things when they realized how bad things were.

they got people off the train relatively quickly. they secured the scene so they can do the work they need to do. >> thankfully they're very good at this. joining us is jeremy he was on the last train of the car when it crashed. he made his way to new york city. good morning to you. how are you feeling? >> shaken up scared feel terrible for the people who didn't make it and the people who were a lot more injuries. >> you have no injuries that you know of? >> i'm the luckiest guy alive. >> where were you on the train? >> the last car on the east side of the train. not in the window but there was nobody next to me. and then the train started shaking. it just happened so slowly yet so fast. you didn't exactly know what was going on. things started flying i mean it just went crazy.

phones laptops started flying in the area. you heard things buckling. you didn't -- it just happened so quickly. you know i kind of got wedged in under the seat and people -- when i looked up there were two women who were cat pulted into the luggage rack. >> in the luggage rack? >> i didn't see them there, but there they were and i was stuck. there was a guy -- >> the train car was on its side? >> it wasn't flat on its side, it was a 30 degree angle. >> at the time of impact where were you? what seat were you sitting in? >> i was in the middle of the last car. >> one of the coach cars. >> one of the coach cars. >> i had taken a walk. i typically take this train. i have restaurants in d.c. so i go back and forth weekly. when i walked the train to get some exercise like every hour or

two, i walked all the way through to the first class and walked all the way back probably ten minutes before and so i was sitting in the middle of that car, and -- you know i was lucky to be in the last car. i think it was the victims primarily were from the first car. i have to say when you look at what happened when you were on the train and the shaking, you could hear buckling seats were all flipped every which way. seats were off, came apart. everything was thrown. >> i'm glad you described, as you walked through the train cars. the way amtrak on this particular line the first train is first class. the second car is the quiet caf. and the cafe car and the following cars were coach. >> there were seven total cars i was told i thought there were eight. i wasn't counting. and you are right, the first is usually first class and the second is usually quiet car and then the cafe.

the cafe car, after hitting -- i knew i was all right and i was this gentleman, daniel. he was okay. we were able to walk out. i saw the train was worse up ahead, one of the cars was completely -- the third car was sideways. m the fourth or fifth car was sideways. we tried to walk up and help people out. by then some people had come and people had taken some type of charge, so they started doing different things. they said can you go back to the back and help out. >> who told you that? people who said hey can you help? >> we were all trying to help. everybody was walking around who was okay. if you saw and you felt what was going on i mean i'm surprised people didn't get jabbed by stuff. the train was just ripped apart every which way. >> will you go on a train again? >> yeah, we got back last night.

we ubered home. we were going to go to the next train station and get back on amtrak. you know -- >> that's great. because you have to. and that's the way you have to live your life especially in the living you have owning these restaurants. was it more traumatic seeing what happened on the outside? >> it was more traumatic this morning. in the uber car we were reading everything. this morning when i heard about the sixth death. that was -- i saw and can't -- if you guys saw and felt what happened i can't believe so many people weren't killed. it's shocking. >> you know i was on that train two nights ago. i'm sure the same thing with you, when you get on the train and you're going in some cases 100 miles an hour you think how safe is this? >> i was walking about ten minutes earlier give or take.

i'm a little jumbled in my head. when i was walking at one point in felt like the train was going so fast i lost my balance a little bit. >> that was way before the derailment. >> that was way before. >> you mean -- >> there is some passengers that have said we heard an announcement something about electricity early on. was there an announcement? >> we got a late start. the train left about ten minutes late maybe 15 minutes late out of d.c. it was delayed. i don't know if they were trying to make up time. i'm not suggesting there was anything like that. i have no more knowledge than you guys do. >> how would you describe the scene with the first responders? did you feel as though people were being tended to quickly or was it moments when it was just passengers? >> everyone was great, the passengers we were all united. the first responders are great, they were cutting fences. people were saying go this way, go this way, come back this way.

don't step on anything metal. it could be live. the wires were dangling. the power wires were dangling. if they hit something metal you could get lecrocuted. the fireman cut the fence down for us to get to this narkd neighborhood. it was a metal fence but it was on the wires. i was the first passengers my friend daniel and i were the two first passengers to walk out. we were like what can we do. no. no. get out of here. stop go back. they were trying their best. nobody knows what to do in these type of situations. they were great. then we end up in this really poor neighborhood. and the people were so nice. they came out with bottles of water. do you want to use our bathroom. come into our house. what can we do.

we were corralled here there, we were trying to figure out how do we get back home. >> details but you were alive. >> there was nothing we could do to help anybody at this stage. >> who did you call first? >> i called my wife and told her i was safe and everything in case she got any phone calls or anything. she said okay. i think she went right back to sleep. >> thankfully you're okay. >> she didn't understand the magnitude. when we were in philadelphia -- in the school where they moved us to eventually my daughter texted me. why are you in philadelphia and why do you need an uber for? >> she knows now. >> all right. we thank you very much. >> thank you. >> it was nice of you to come in. >> stay right here for just a second. >> appreciate you, jeremy. coming up an amazing story of survival. a passenger finds a hero, a local police officer that saved

his life. >> i want to tell him thank you. he saved our lives. and he saved many other people's lives regarding his own. because he went back into the train and started helping people. >> up next hear from that cop and the man who survived. a horrific crash only here on "fox and friends." real cheese people know good things come in threes. new sargento balanced breaks are a trio, a triad, a trilogy of goodness. natural cheese, dried fruit, and nuts.

to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions.

taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

this is a fox news alert. you're looking live at a stretch of amtrak train track in north philly at a curve where last night at 9:28 amtrak train 188 went off the rails. don't know why yet but we know a lot of people stepped up to help. >> we also know that 140 people were hurt. six have been critically injured we understand and six lost their lives. five on the scene of the crash and one at temple university hospital. >> 243 people were on board. at the scene police officers and firefighters got in there to do what they did best to get people to safety. >> that's right. paul was on that train along with his wife. they had just visited their son at a unity rally in washington, d.c. he and his wife were able to get

off the train safely thanks to the kindness of a police officer who was actually off duty at the time. >> it was like a roller coaster went crazy. everything shifted to the right. and instinutaneously everything stopped. i'm a six foot guy and it threw me to front. one of the local police officers michael keane who did a great job in helping people and doing his thing. i want to tell him thank you. he saved our lives. and he saved many other people's lives, regarding his own. because he went back into that train and started helping people. >> he was talking about his wife too, because his wife was on the window seat. he was able to get he and his wife off the train. minutes ago the same officer, officer keane joined us. >> it's my job.

it's what i'm put on the planet to do. once i cleared the train, just like any good first responder would do quick size up of the scene. figure out what i had. i grabbed the flashlight from a conductor and went back in and went to work. >> so that's the voice of officer michael keane. who lives in new jersey. he was on the route back. the fellow we just had on jeremy said i saw that cop. he was there. he was trying to help everybody he could. >> he said he got about 50 to 25 people were rescued alone by him. >> keep in mind he wasn't working. he was coming home after a long weekend in washington, saw something bad, and jumped up and helped people. >> another thing that sticks out. not only did people help each other, but the people in the town that just arbitrarily were at the scene of the crash helped people out the best they could. >> straight ahead. we continue our breaking news coverage with the man who helped

america through one of our most difficult tragedies. he wrote a book about leadership. former new york city mayor rudy guiliani next.

e. a fox news alert. the crash in philadelphia we've been covering all morning long creating headaches for commuters up and down the east coast. ainsley earhardt is at penn station. >> yeah, if you're going to take an amtrak to or from new york city this is where you come right next to madison square garden in new york city. this is the schedule today for all the northeast corridor trains that are leaving new york heading to washington these are all canceled. a lot of lives affected.

one million people travelled in the month of march. a lot of people were disrupted because of this train derailment. there are modifications. amtrak service will be modified between washington and philly. harrisburg and philly and new york and boston. call amtrak or go on their website to find out those schedules. no service between new york and philadelphia. new jersey transit will honor amtrak tickets between new york city and trenton. if you go on the website, you probably can't see this, everything in red is canceled. we're not sure when the surfaceervices will be up and running again. we did arrive here about 7:00 a.m. this morning. we talked to a girl who was stuck on a train behind the one that was derailed in philly. we talk today her this is whaudt she had to say. all right. apparently we don't have that sound. i tell you she said she was stuck on the train with her baby and a friend for five to six

hours while they were waiting on word about the train in front of them. then a bus picked them up and brought them to new york city. they got on the bus with a lot of passengers that were on a derailed train. those passengers were saying they were happy to be alive and safe. they made it to new york city around 5:00 a.m. 6:00 a.m. this morning. >> great round up. we appreciate it. we'll go back to you before the end of the show. back to steve and elizabeth with a special guess. >> in times of crisis the only place to turn is faith. >> we are joined by the senior pastor of first baptist church in dallas. we thank you for being here in a time like this when we are getting a number up to six dead after this horrific crash on amtrak. what role does faith play right here? >> well i think it's important to understand when a tragedy like this happens, there are no easy answers to the why question. a few years ago i found myself

in a driving rainstorm. my head lights went out. i dent know what i was going to do but i locked on to the light of an 18 wheeler in front of me and took me safely into town. when we're caught in the tragedy of suffering like this train wreck there are truths we can lock on to. god is love. he loves us he understands what is happening to those victims in that accident. secondly got is all powerful. he has the ability to take the worst things like a tragedy like this and use them for ultimate good. and ultimately and perhaps the most hopeful thing is one day god is going to put an end to tragedies like this and that's what we all look forward to. >> dr. jeffers we had booked you earlier to talk about this poll about the number of people being affiliated with any particular religion. i tell you what this morning we had one of the survivors on a fellow by the name of paul he

was looking at what happened to him and how close he came to dying. he said he was thanking the man upstairs. he was thanking god he was still here today. >> well that's right. and someday we'll talk about that research poll. but i think what you're seeing in that poll is a decline of cultural of christians not of genuine believers. the fact is the influence of christianity has never been about numbers. it's not the number of people but it's the commitment of people. you know after all, it only took 12 people to turn the world upside down for jesus christ. i think you're seeing genuine faith being exercised in a tragedy like this. >> we will join you in praying for the families of those who lost loved ones and are trying to be reunited with their friends and families. all right. another fox news alert. at least six people have died and that number could rise as we learn brand-new details about the devastation on the tracks.

difficult. the folks were injured because people and things fell on them. >> at least eight people are in critical condition. the cause of the crash under investigation. that brings us to our next guest, mayor rudyguiliani. we are trying to find if if there's a track or engineer problem. where do you start? >> with the emergency response which they got right. they put the fire department in charge. i was impressed with the mayor nutter's press conference because it had the key word when it comes to emergency response. he identified the incident commander, fire department. fire department in charge. that means everything reports to the fire department. the fire commissioner had an excellent knowledge of how he deployed his people. half at one place, half at another. he divided into east and west so he could get the maximum use out of them. he integrated the police with

that. this was a very good emergency response to a horrible incident. and something that's close to home. i travel that train washington to philadelphia two times a month. >> when you do that and you're looking out the window you have a bird's eye view of how the infrastructure in this country is falling apart. >> you're absolutely right. i don't know -- we don't know the cause, so we can't speculate. we do know for sure whether it's the cause or not that the infrastructure has not been fixed. it badly needs it. it was supposed to be part of the surplus plan five or six years ago. it only got 2% 3% of the funding. that's an investment we have to make. i was in hong kong a few weeks ago. they're building a train that i think will take cities that are 500 miles apart and put them an hour ahalf apart. >> do you anticipate this will call for charges in terms of amtrak in terms of seat belts on

trains muboving forward? >> there are so few accidents, it is a possibility. no reason not to do it. but the reality is amtrak is a very safe ride. what happens with these incidents like airplane crashes, you know you hear about it because it's so catastrophic. you don't hear about the people who died in cars. the average of people who die in cars are going to be way over the average number of people that die by amtrak. you're safer on amtrak than you are driving to washington. >> i want to build on what steve said about the infrastructure. we also hear it's the problem. people talk about an infrastructure bank half private -- >> the way we did it in new york city we financed it. you can finance infrastructure because infrastructure is the one thing you're not asking the next generation to pay for without them getting a benefit from it. if i build a beautiful school that's going to benefit people 50 years from now.

if i build a rail line that's the best rail line that will benefit people 50 years from now. the things we worry about are -- when i'm paying police officers their salary it's only going to help me not my children. >> where do we get the money? borrow the money? >> you have to divide borrow. the government doesn't do that. >> it's about priority. >> a responsible business that uses operating capital to run a business and they have cap exfor long time investment if it's going to help you for 30 years you fund it over 30 years. we should start thinkts about reorganizing our budget more like a business or like new york city's. this is an investment that's worth it. it creates jobs it's an investment that creates a much better future for america. yesterday i was having a meeting

about the infrastructure for oil and natural gas. we're going to come to a point where we have so much oil -- >> no refinies. >> we should be exporting it. it's a disgrace. >> it's illegal, you can't do it. >> we should change the law. same thing with oil we should be exporting both. we should become an export nation. >> i want to go back to the scene of the train. when you look at the devastation, you saw here in the city post devastation in attack 9/11. you saw people step up in law enforcement and fire department. we see the same thing here. hundreds of fire department officials, hundreds of police department officials. in the midst of largely a critique they've been facing across the mainstream media, you see what they do they go in and get people out. >> yeah. and i could tell it was a good emergency response watching fox last night. i had it on all night. probably didn't go to bed until

2:00 watching this. they had the triage situation down right. as soon as the hospitals in the area were filled up they moved people. obviously they have trained. i look adthese and look at the boston marathon reaction boston great reaction. you go back to katrina, bad reaction. what that indicates is that people in philadelphia the police fire ems, they're training. they're doing exercises. this wasn't like that. >> now what do we do. >> they've been training for this and that's why they did it so well. >> one of the other things before the first responders were there, those who were on the train tried to get people off the train. we talk today a hero cop who was coming back from washington, d.c. he was off the clock and jumped in to help. >> you saw that happen on

september 11th. the men who run to the tower and lost his life. there's been a lot of situations like this. i always remember a man that was described to me by some of the survivors as he let this last group of people get on the elevator. and they tried to get him in the elevator. he said i can't fit. i said i've already lived my life. you go sweetheart. it was a young girl. she said i will never forget it. he said don't worry i've lived my life. you go you go. two minutes later the whole building came down. >> when you go back on a train like this, you're taking the same risk. you dent know if it was going to go on fire. >> it's a funny thing to say, you find out what people are made of. >> you do. >> thank you. >> we saw some of america's best and bravest in action. coming up our breaking news coverage continuing. friends and families desperate to find their loved ones that are still missing right now.

>> we're just hoping that we can find her sooner than later. >> that woman joining us next as a search for survivors continues. my name's louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i got a prescription for chantix. along with support chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking.

the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you notice any of these stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don' take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i love myself as a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

just stay calm and move as quietly as possible. no sudden movements.

google search: bodega beach house. a fox news alert. the death toll in philadelphia has risen since we went on the air. six people confirmed dead in last night's horrific amtrak train derailment of train 188. still hours after the accident some passengers apparently are still missing. >> among them is rachel jacobs the ceo of a philadelphia company who was on her way to new york city right here. >> her friend and co-worker emily joins us by phone. thanks for being with us. we are sad to hear we have not been able to know that you've

reconnected with your ceo here. what can you tell us about her? >> rachel is wonderful. she is extremely kind and smart. she was on her way back home to new york last night. and we haven't heard from her since. interesting part i think about rachel being with amtrak is she has a pass for amtrak which means she can get on any train. they actually don't have her on a list because of it. we're assuming that amtrak probably did not scan her ticket by the time the crash occurred. al. >> okay you don't know for sure whether or not she was on tha traen that train or amtrak doesn't know? >> she was on the track but amtrak doesn't have that list. >> we are looking at an image of her on our screen. as we speak to you here i understand the red cross is

using the 30th street station as a meeting place for any family members who are trying to reunite with passengers that were on this train. is it true that rachel had a a 2-year-old at home? >> she does yes. >> what's the latest word from her family have you spoken with her husband? >> i have. i've been in touch with her husband. we just want to have as many people looking for her, which is why we're thankful to be talking to you. that's where we're at at this point. >> you're doing the right thing coming on here. have you sent anyone down to the red cross? >> i went last night to the hospitals. i went to the church where they sent people. and this morning i went to the red cross at the station, and i just missed apparently they sent a bus of passengers to new

york. and i just missed that bus. there was no other passengers there or family members when i got there, which is probably 6:30. >> okay. and we heard the story about rachel when you there holding up her picture asking if anyone had seen her. our man at the disaster said authorities thought that everybody was accounted for. if she wasn't there and the hospitals know who they have taken in where could she be? >> i don't know. it's a good question. there were some -- from what i can tell there were -- the hospitals i called everybody was accounted for. but her husband has confirmed. he has a friend who is an er doctor that she was not one of those individuals. so we are at a loss at where she

can be. you know we are concerned because she wasn't on the official list because of the past. we don't want people to not look for her because of that. it's our last outlet. >> do you think that in the chaos after the derailment she could have gotten up and you know started walking. we heard the story of somebody that was walking towards woods. she might be riented or walking the streets? >> so i talked to another one of our colleagues and we were trying to you know think creatively about where she could be. and they thought of that possibility. i'm hoping that that's a possibility or she's on the bus to new york. i think she would have had phone access if it was the latter. >> she would have called

somebody. >> yeah. are we correct in understanding there was a text or a phone call placed to her husband while she was on that train, what do you know about that? >> i don't know anything about that. >> okay. and we just wand to remind everyone the station is the red cross's spot for staging. if you see this woman, it's rachel jacobs we are speaking with her friend. the number to call is 800-523-9101 if you have any information or have seen rachel jacobs. >> thank you very much for telling rachel's story. >> thank you for having us. i hope we find her. >> what a great friend. >> hope so, too. up next horrified passengers turning to social media and their smartphones in the moments after the deadly derailment. >> i got you. okay? okay? >> keep crawling okay? >> where am i crawling to? >> crawl forward, sir.

pictures from other amtrak derailments this year. there have been 12 so far. in march, 55 people were injured when amtrak collided with a tractor trailer in north carolina. that's one of the pictures there. the latest crash very eerily similar to a pennsylvania railroad crash that took place in 1943 when 73 people died along that same stretch of curve. >> it wasn't amtrak back then it was the congressional limited. >> pennsylvania railroad. >> thanks for keeping an eye on the social media this morning. all right. we're going to step aside. more "fox and friends" live from new york city and philadelphia in two minutes.
