i'm jon scott in for shepard. first today, that doomed amtrak train was going far above the speed limit when it flew off the rails at more than 100 miles an hour. that's according to to the reporting of the associated press. philadelphia's mayor says the engineer gave a statement to investigators, but cops say, he has now clammed up refusing to answer questions. this afternoon, officials upped the number of dead to seven, but investigators say they'll likely find more bodies crushed under train cars. hundreds of others hurt one doctor said most of the injured have broken bones. the latest on the investigation live from the scene in a moment but first, the stories of terror as the crash tossed passengers through the air. the amtrak train was headed from washington to new york last night. shortly after it left a train station in philadelphia it entered a steep curve. that's where passengers described a violent shaking as if the engineer tried to brake. the train's cars flew from the tracks, some landing on their
12:02 pm
side. one crushed and shredded. according to patrick murphy who was in the cafe car, the scene was so bloody and chaotic, survivors didn't care about anyone else. stepping over other people to save themselves. still the congressman says he and others tried to help the injured. >> there was a lot of blood and folks got banged up got hurt bad. well i was in the washer side of the car, i flew to the other side landed on my head. >> i could see the blood on people's faces, they can't move. and their knees were out. >> a lot of people were just in shock. they couldn't believe what was happening. they were just crying and like didn't know what to say. >> one passenger says he helped victims down from luggage racks where they landed when violently thrown. survivors describe clawing their way through windows to get to safety but even getting outside sparked new fears when rescuers warned them to run in case another came speeding around the bend. we have live team fox coverage.
12:03 pm
leah gaberiel is here on the fox news deck laura engel is live. >> rick leventhal live in philadelphia rick. >> reporter: well jon, just heard again from michael nutter who would not confirm some of the things we've been hearing this afternoon. including that report in the wall street journal that this train was traveling at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour when it hit the curve and rerailed. that would be double the speed limit in that area. the mayor would not confirm that report. but we do have confirmation that the data recorder from the train had in fact been recovered and taken to the operations center the amtrak operation center in delaware to be analyzed by the ntsb. they are still in search and recovery mode here at the crash site we can confirm that a seventh victim was found in the wreckage today. so the search for victims continues here at the scene, and there are more unaccounted for
12:04 pm
as authorities struggle to match the train manifest with manifests at the hospitals they're making progress but asking anyone who survived the crash and left the area to call in. the mayor points out that sometimes people buy tickets and don't get on trains and sometimes people get on trains without tickets. here's more of what he said a short time ago. >> the search is very very active again, as we literally just left the scene, there are significant number of personnel from the fire department the police providing security amtrak personnel down on the, on the tracks, and now off the tracks because most of the train is actually off of the tracks. >> reporter: the mayor visited the scene late last night and called it devastating with cars upside down and split in half and torn and mangled. but he said going back here during the daytime was almost indescribable and painful, and amazing that so many people actually walked away from this
12:05 pm
crash, jon, because it was so so violent. >> but as we know rick seven victims known dead now. what do we know about them? >> reporter: well they did not confirm identities of any of the victims at today's news conference we have heard from some of the victim's relatives and employers and associated the victims according to these family members and friends include a man who worked for the associated press for nearly 20 years. he was a video software architect named jim gaines father of two returning home to planesboro new jersey. we lost a midshipman from rockaway new jersey who was on his way home. he has not been identified by name. and the chief executive of a small philadelphia tech company by the name of rachel jacobs is missing and feared dead. she lefted a meeting with the intent to board a train yesterday, and she has not been heard from since, jon. >> so many sad stories, rick leventhal, thank you. the derailment is the second
12:06 pm
deadly amtrak crash this week. sunday investigators say a train headed for new orleans slammed into a truck at a railroad crossing killing the truck driver but recent government statistics show riding a train is actually safer than it was ten years ago. leah gabriel joins us now, tell us about those stats. >> jon, that's right, look at the numbers. the number last year was less than half the number in the early 2000s. we have that information over here on the wall for you. there were 150 amtrak accidents in 2001 that number down to 76 last year -- 67 last year it is up slightly from the previous couple of years. now the deadly accident in the history of amtrak was in 1993. a train derailed off a collapsed bridge in alabama killing 47 people. a tug boat that hit the bridge was blamed for that particular crash, but former ntsb official tells us that amtrak worked with the feds to improve safety after a number of incidents in the '90s, take a listen. >> i know that amtrak has done a
12:07 pm
lot of work to make sure that the rails and the grade crossings are up to current standards. so there's a lot of invisible little things that were done to ensure that the train gets from point a to b safely. >> now he also said that amtrak has put money into safety, into signal systems as well as inspections, jon, at this the point, it's time to look at inside the trains and how to improve passenger safety. >> already amtrak has reported a number of derailments this year. >> they have. in fact they are actually on pace with what we've seen in recent years. we have some of that data we're going to put up on your screen for you now. you can see that there have been 12 this year so far. now, that's similar with other years, ranging from 25 to 28 over the past three years. now this latest crash happened near the site of another major crash back in 1943. this happened labor day weekend
12:08 pm
on the route going from washington to new york when a train also derailed. and we don't know for sure what the cause of this latest crash in philadelphia was, amtrak was in the process of installing what's called an automatic braking system though along the stretch of track where the crash happened. and jon, that was supposed to be fully in place by the end of this year. >> too late it seems like. leah gabriele gabriel, thank you. the system of roots on which the train derailed is the northeast corridor. it provided a critical link between the nation's biggest cities. the latest numbers from amtrak show back in march alone, more than one million passengers traveled along the northeast corridor corridor. that was nearly 40% of all riders across the country. laura inge sl live at the port authority bus terminal here in new york city now, laura. >> reporter: hi jon. this is where a lot of those displaced amtrak riders turned up today. many of them looking for the least expensive way to get home
12:09 pm
or to get to work. now, we've seen a lot of these amtrak customers working through the port authority terminal today which seats approximately 200,000 bus riders daily. reps tell us they add 16 more scheduled trips between new york and philadelphia and washington today. and greyhound, new jersey transit, and megabus are all honoring amtrak tickets so that riders like garth ryder of washington, d.c. can get on their way. >> thought about a flight getting out to the airport, i figured it would be more expensive. the amtrak people directed me here. i came here first. i was worried there wouldn't be buses, but they had plenty of ticket nrs afternoon. >> reporter: and amtrak is running on a modified schedule for now. no trips between new york and philadelphia but there are trains running between washington and philly harrisburg and philly and new york and boston for now. jon. >> laura engel, thank you. the iraqis say an air strike
12:10 pm
targeted an islamic state get together and according to a source inside iraq the strike took out several people including a senior leader. what we know and how it might effect that terror group, coming up. caring for someone with alzheimer's means i am a lot of things. i am her best friend. i am her ally. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to her current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. vo: namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have or ever had, a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine liver, kidney or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects.

12:13 pm
fighters in a mosque in northern iraq. officials there stay happened last night, but the pentagon reports it cannot confirm the deaths and coalition aircraft did not hit a mosque. according to an iraqi military official this is the isis leader killed. the state department was offering a reward for information on his whereabouts, we cannot confirm whether this is actually him. this all comes after another report last month claimed the isis leader himself was seriously hurt in an air strike in western iraq. that came from the british newspaper, "the guardian" k.t. mcfarrland is here and she is a fox news contributor. >> what's the significance of these reports? >> they're unconfirmed, that's part of the world, you'll have a lot of unconfirmed reports. the significance is the drone strikes are having an effect. the drone strikes, maybe not killing, but they're disrupting. and they're making the top leadership of al qaeda and now
12:14 pm
isis be having nervous about what they're doing. i look at it as sort of two, we're having two battle fronts one is the battle front in the region and that's isis on the ground. isis has taken a lot of territory, they're fighting to defend some of it and we have the drone strikes, but the second athleter is really the cyber space theater. and that's the one that affects us in the united states. >> they've taken territory, its been growing, even since the coalition air campaign began. >> it is growing in some ways but there are battles for parts of it for example, mosul, which is the main place, and flueallujahfallujah that's being contempted. the other is a major oil refinery again, that's being contested. the battle on the ground is going to go back and forth, that's to be expected. the price i'm looking for is the cyber battle. it's the social media, it's the fbi director said last week you
12:15 pm
know isis has figured this out, and social media, twitter, facebook it's like they're sitting on the shoulders of people they have recruited in the united states saying kill kill kill. that's where i'm more nervous. >> this guy, al-baghdadia who is thought might have been hit bay drone strike in the last couple of months, there was talk that that was walked back a little bit, maybe the u.s. wasn't sure at all. >> here's the problem with him, he's been very mysterious. only shown up a couple of times when he has shown up to try to show himself as if he's the new leader of the entire muslim world. he's got the right birthright he's from the right family he's shown all the right symbols when he's gone to preach. so he's the one you want to watch. he's the one nobody's seen for a while. has he been hit? injured, in hiding? nobody knows. >> but the strikes -- >> they are continuing. and you know it's going to have a disruptive effect, why examine
12:16 pm
because we saw the same thing in northern iraq where we know the drone strikes continuously -- you get rid of the top level, then the new level, eventually you're dipping down far on the leadership chain. >> let's hope we can continue taking -- >> we need some good news. >> k.t. mcfarland thank you. terrorists armed with guns storm a bus carrying dozens of people. they told passengers to bow their heads i should say, then they opened fire. that's according to officials in pakistan. they say it happened in a city in the southern part of the country. the deadliest attack there in months. according to police the bus was carrying shiite muslims. at least 45 people died including 16 women. they say the driver somehow got the bus to the hospital despite being hurt. cops say the gunmen escaped on motorcycles. it is not clear yet who was behind the attack. isis affiliate took credit for

yesterday, military officials say they lost all communication with the chopper while it was flying through a rugged area of the himalayas. defense officials say troops were in the huey chopper delivers supplies to victims of yesterday's deadly earthquake the second one to hit nepal in three weeks. there have been conflicting reports on the chopper's whereabouts. officials in nepal say crews spotted the helicopter north of the country's capital city of kathmandu. spokesperson for the u.s. pacific command says they have not found anything just yet. pentagon officials say they are optimistic adding there are quote no indications of a crash. a sales executive says her bosses fired her for disabling an app on her work phone. an app that let them track her every move. now she's suing the firm. she claims she worked for the money transfer company for three months last year and her bosses told her to install that app on her phone. according to the website of the app's developer, it's designed to let employers drill down on
12:22 pm
an individual worker to see where they have been the route they have driven and where they are now. according to the lawsuit, the woman is now seeking more than half a million dollars in damages for lost earnings and wages. we reached out to her former employer and the company behind the app, we have not yet heard back. judge andrew napolitano is fox news senior judicial analyst, from what we have read of this case judge, does she have an argument here? >> both sides have an argument. i'll make the employer's argument first. she is a traveling sales woman, and she tells them where she's going and where she's been. they are entitled to know independently, of her words where she's going and where she's been. they can utilize that app to learn of her whereabouts when she's working for them. now there's her side they cannot use that app to learn of her whereabouts when she's not working for them. so was she right to disable the app? she was wrong to disable the
12:23 pm
app. there is a less intrusive way to do it just stop using the cell phone in your private time. and if you don't ever want to use that cell phone for any purpose because you don't want anybody to know where you are, disable it in such a way that it can't work if you can't disable it put it in a refrigerator you close the door this is an nsa technique, close the door and it's not going to send a signal to anybody. but to be serious for a minute we all have mobile devices issued by fox. fox is entitled to know what we're doing and where we are with them when we're here, but not when we're not here. she's part right and part wrong. >> the employer says they got word she was actually working for a competitor while she was on the clock for them. wouldn't that allow them, if they have those suspicions to keep tabs on her? >> it would allow them to use that information and to resist her lawsuit, but nothing allows them outside of her consent to
12:24 pm
monitor her private time. so if the employer were able to use the mobile device as the nsa does as a listening device and it did so in her private time that would violate her right to privacy under california law. if her employer followed her while this was in her pocket in her private time that violates her right to privacy. this all happened in california. by the way, it's the law of the land in those states but the employer must discipline itself and only follow her, or use that as a means to track her when she's on the clock. >> so as long as, you know if she's on her weekend, she's out playing golf if she's using her own phone, fine. as long as she is not carrying the company phone -- >> right. >> that's a way to escape the problem. >> now the employer will say, she knew we were following her. so she instead of getting her own phone, used our phone for private purposes therefore, she
12:25 pm
consented to us following her. now we're getting into the type of arguments made in the courtroom. >> we'll keep an eye on it. judge andrew napolitano. >> always good to work with you, jon. >> you too. remember this? critics of government spending say tax payers dollars went to study this shrimp running on a treadmill. that was a few years ago. a group just released its latest examples what have it calls government waste. plus words that deep water drilling is set to resume not far from the site of the bp oil explosion that killed 11 workers, triggering the nation's largest offshore oil spill nearly five years ago. details, coming up.

barrel spending on capitol hill. basically lawmakers use tax payer money on local projects. they do so to bring more money to their home districts and win support. for example, $120 million for a tank upgrade that military leaders said over and over again they do not want. 15 million for a program to boost pacific salmon populations and $4 million for aquatic plant control. according to the watchdog group, there are fewer earmarks this fiscal year but researchers say the overall cost of the earmarks went up more than 50% to more than $4 billion. that's billion with a b. mike emanuel with the news live on capitol hill mike there are some serious concerns that the earmarks are making a comeback huh? >> well jon, good afternoon, that's right. some lawmakers can not resist that temp ration of that so- -- temptation of the so-called pork barrel spending to roll out the 2015 pig book they brought us a
12:32 pm
real live pig to help with the visual. one veteran senator says some love the pet projects to win lawmaker support. >> incredibly there is a movement to restore earmarks. to restore earmarks in the name of being able to pass legislation more easily. i.e. bribe. if you bribe someone, then therefore they'd be more likely to vote for a piece of legislation. >> and we've noticed during the earmark moratorium its been harder to pass some bills and so some have talked about the possibility of bringing back the earmarks jon. >> okay. what about progress in cutting pork any signs there? >> well there are some. they say, you know, there's still the navy looking into researching biofuels but the bottom line is some lawmakers who are known for watching where the dollar goes say there are signs of improvement. >> we haven't solved this problem, but we have made enormous progress. the number of earmarks that
12:33 pm
slipped through now is a tiny fraction of the many thousands of earmarks which used to be routine. the dollars spent now is a fraction of the tens of billions of dollars that was wasted every year through this insidious practice. >> number of lawmakers today said they plan to continue looking at those appropriations bills to follow the flow of the money. >> mike emanuel thank you. an item has to meet one of seven different criteria to land in the pig book nap includes, if it's requested by only one chamber of congress if it's not, specifically authorized or if it's not competitively awarded, or not requested by the president, if it greatly exceeds the president's budget request or the previous year's funding, if it is not the subject of congressional hearings or if it serves only a local or special interest. the group's president says tax payers need to tell their representatives that too fast time to permanently ban earmarks. let's bring in california
12:34 pm
republican congressman tom mcclintock, he's a member of the house budget committee. one person's earmark is another person's very necessary program, i mean salmon useful why not spend a few million bucks tries to regenerate the pacific salmon population? >> necessary programs don't need earmarks necessary programs can compete very well on their own merit. earmarks are what are used to specify specific dollars for a specific beneficiary made by a specific congressman. that was corrupt in congress it was promoting cronyism, log rolling, and we've made huge progress. there were 24,000 separate earmarks in the federal spending that's down to 105 according to caw, it used to cost $46 billion a year to fund all of these pet projects, that's down to 4 billion. we're making serious progress. >> congressman tom mcclintock, thank you. we have breaking news.
12:35 pm
philadelphia now, hospital workers are giving an update on the victims of that deadly amtrak crash, let's listen. >> yeah we still have eight in critical condition. that really hasn't changed. i expect it might not for another day or so. yeah yeah the question's what types of wounds what does that mean about the impact? the rib fractures tell me they rattled around in the train cars a lot. to get a lot of rib fractures, also scamular fractures and the legs and fractures of the arms. i was surprised, i think i told you this morning, surprised to see that we did not have much head injury. i thought a lot of folks were going to have head injuries. there was just one person with a head injury. that was very good news. no we have not found any conductors or engineers here.
12:36 pm
yeah the staff has done very well. there are a lot of folks here last night as you remember we were able to swap a lot of people out when things calmed down and get the daytime folks in to help that really helped rest them. i sent a lot of people home purposefully because i knew this is not a sprint it's a marathon, and they need to take care of folks for the next two to three days. i'm doing good thank you. yeah james marshall deen the iii, princeton. 49 years old. yeah. 22 surgical one on the medical surfaces. yeah the surgical patients all have fractures. and, but not all will need surgery. so that's the point. the medical, i can't tell you the condition of the medical
12:37 pm
patient. >> how long do you expect to have patients here and treating them? >> yeah i expect over the next few days, many more folks will go home. and probably at five to seven days there'll just be a handful of folks left recoupuperaterecuperating. yeah we have no intention to transfer the patients. oh that's a very good question. the question is how are they going home? there are a lot of folks here out of town and other countries. there have been four amtrak representatives on site for most of the day, which is extremely helpful. they're able to help the families with incidental and hotel and transportation and that sort of thing. amtrak has been very help informal making sure that they're cared for. >> any children? >> no no children. yeah i'm surprised at the number of rib injuries that
12:38 pm
surprised me in the relative few head injuries. and i think we were fortune there weren't more deaths. you've all seen the sites, i've just seen glimpses as i go past the tv screens. what little i've seen suggested things could have been a lot worse. >> have you had many lung fractures resulting from the rib fractures, punctures? >> yeah there were a number of lungs collapsed or partially collapsed. not as many as i might have feared. most just rib fractures, but not collapsed lungs. there were bruised lungs. i'll come back to you. i think the eight critical folks will do just fine over the next few days. yes, it did.
12:39 pm
i was very pleased. things came together here last night very well. and in just a few hours, the trauma team the doctors and nurses that train to do this responded wonderfully. i think it was a test and i think we passed it. yeah. the more speed the more the more -- yeah the more force you've got. so it did not help certainly. i can't tell you whether there was a difference between # 00 miles an hour and 50 in terms of injuries i saw. i just don't know enough to know that that made the difference. >> do you know if there's anymore patients expected to pass away? >> i expect that won't happen. i think it'll be good results in the next couple of days. >> what countries you mentioned foreigners what countries? >> spain, belgium, come to mind. >> yand? >> germany. >> india last night, albania.
12:40 pm
yeah i think we rounded up all the families. that's a very good question. i think that's been accomplished. >> how often does the hospital train for these situations? >> we train regularly. level one trauma center it's expected to be able to respond to this sort of thing. so there's regular drills in this and other types of emergencies. i don't know. drill, we have drills every month. last time we had something this size i don't know. someone asked that this morning, i thought you'd know it better than i do. yeah the trauma center was open all through this and taking other patients. last night, and are today. yeah fractures. yeah. impact. from the high speed. >> what is the age range? >> mr. gaines was 49 one patient was 80 and i think there were some in the young 20s, yeah.
12:41 pm
>> how many people do you have working? did you bring in additional staff? >> oh yes, lots of additional staff. people asked me that today. i think there were 30 to 40 doctors there last night, so maybe double or a little bit more than that the number of docs that normally would have been there. and lots and lots and lots of other staff in laboratory blood banking, radiology, all of the other departments that make things happen. the cafeteria workers, i couldn't tell you how many extra folks came in there were many many. a lot of the patients were stunned. you know they've been regular folks on a train, expecting to get off at the next stop from new jersey expecting to do and it just didn't happen. and, you know, i know you folks know that it happened very fast. so the yeah yeah they were
12:42 pm
stunned. >> how many from out of the country how many are from the philly new york area do you know? >> yeah they're spread out in new york new jersey philadelphia area. many have families and visiting folks here. a number had been here far while and were visiting people. >> any foreigners in the group of seven? >> i don't know i don't know about the other six. so i know our guy is local. yeah. >> out of the critical do we know if there's any local? >> yeah i don't know. i don't know. yeah they were here right after the press conference this morning. they were able to figure it out. i don't know the number from the other hospitals. that's a good question because i've been heads down in here for yesterday and last night and today. i know about the one day period. i assume that you guys know a lot more about what was happening outside.
12:43 pm
yes. sorry. all right. thank you, folks. for the work you're doing. >> thanks doctor. >> dr. herbert curbing is chief medical officer, the good news there, he says that they have eight critical patients but he expects they will do well over the next couple of days. we'll be back with more on the news deck in just a moment.
