>> he has 15 staples in his head. stitches in one leg. the other knee is immobilized. he has a concussion. on top of that, he looked exhausted. >> mayor nutter, the mayor of philadelphia, calls mr. bostian reckless and irresponsible. your response? >> i don't know the basis for that. we know the train was going at excessive speed but the reasons why are still to be determined. >> we know the emergency brake was hit but has your client given you any information as to why the train was going so fast? >> he has not. i believe as a result of the concussion he has absolutely no recollection whatsoever of the events. i'm told that his memory is likely to return as the concussion symptoms subside. >> he spent six hours with the police. what did he tell them? >> everything he knew. he cooperated fully. >> what is the last thing he remembers?

mishaps before as an engineer? >> no, none. >> no explanation for what happened? >> i can give you nothing. you'll have to wait for his memory to come back or other facts be ascertained by the ntsb investigation. >> when will he be meeting again with investigators? >> when they ask. >> what does he want the victims to know? >> we didn't discuss that. i can tell you that he was distraught as he learned of the devastation. he was distraught. >> mr. goggin, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> all right, george. back to the scene now. and new questions about safety on the rails. abc's david kerley is there and david, i can imagine that the ntsb is anxious to talk to the engineer. >> reporter: absolutely, robin. we now know what happened. speed was involved here. twice the limit on the corner

just on the other side of those buildings behind me. the question is why. you just heard the attorney say the engineer has no recollection. i just spoke with a member from the ntsb board who is here about what they want to do, what they want to learn from that engineer. >> we have not interviewed the engineer. we look forward to that opportunity. i want to point out that it's not unusual for somebody who has been through a traumatic event to have some memory loss, at least short-term memory loss. >> reporter: will they speak to him today? it's a possibility. that's unlikely. they may wait a day or two until he recoverers a little bit more. you mentioned infrastructure. that is a problem with some of the rails. there is a safety system and paula mentioned positive train control. it is on parts of rails all over the place. all rails are supposed to have it by the end of this year. the ntsb does not believe they'll meet that deadline. it's the rail telling the train, you're going too fast, and it slows it down. it's not on that piece of track

behind us. robin? >> thank you, david. we move on to the dangerous flooding in the south. texas and oklahoma swamped by heavy rain. dozens of water rescues. rob marciano is tracking it all. >> another day. another night of torrential rains. across this state. some areas getting three to six times the normal amount for this month. this mailman having a difficult time. a difficult night last night for sure. overnight, texans evacuating as downpours bring flooding across the state. >> got the animals out. got clothes. gotta have something to wear. >> reporter: scary scenes from the nonstop rain. this car swept downstream. parts of houston getting ten inches in the past 24 hours, leading to at least 20 water rescues. this pickup helping to push a stranded driver. store owners sandbagging. in anticipation of more rain. >> i've been stuck in the parking lot for four hours. >> reporter: in the northern part of the state, officials taking the unusual step of

deflategate investigation found it is more probable than not that tom brady was at least generally aware of the release of air from patriots game balls. >> a lot of athletes appeal. occasionally they're overturned. maybe the four games could be lessened to two. that's possible. >> reporter: if brady appeals, the big question, will roger goodell hear it or designate someone to hear it? under his watch, several players have had their suspensions reduced or overturned. >> he has until this afternoon? >> until 5:00. we move to the race to the white house now. jeb bush playing defense over comments he made about the iraq war. his republican rivals pounce. he wrestles with his older brother's legacy. jon karl is in washington with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, george. jeb bush is not an official candidate yet. he's already had his first big stumble, offering four different answers to a basic question about the iraq war. for jeb bush, it was a moment of shock and awe. >> knowing what we know now,

would you have authorized the invasion? >> i would have. >> reporter: really? he would have invaded iraq even if he knew there were no weapons of mass destruction? now bush is saying he misheard the question. >> i heard -- whatever i heard was translated, knowing what you knew then, what would you do? >> reporter: the misheard question and the less than smooth clarification has put the iraq war, the most unpopular decision of his brother's presidency, front and center in the campaign. bush's republican rivals are pouncing. >> we know that intelligence was false. no way we would have gone to war with iraq. >> i want to directly answer your question, that's what i do. if we knew then what we know now and i was the president of the united states, i wouldn't have gone to war. >> i think at the time invading iraq was a mistake. >> reporter: bush is declining to answer the question he misheard. talking about whether the war should have been fought does a disservice for those who served.

>> going back in time and talking about hypotheticals i think does a disservice for them. >> reporter: he says we should focus on the lessons learned from the war. although he hasn't yet said what those lessons are. jeb bush's latest answer on this is quote, given the power of looking back, of course anybody would have made different decisions. still not crystal clear. he's gotten much closer to that direct no answer that his rivals have given. >> and they did that fast. jon karl, thank you very much. now to amy with the other stories. starting with the strange attack here in new york. >> a dramatic scene that unfolded. right near busy penn stagts. surveillance video capturing the moment. a man with a hammer attacked a police officer. they spill into the street where her partner then shot the man. that suspect in critical but stable condition. he's wanted in other hammer attacks in the city. the police officer was not seriously injured. breaking overnight, the taliban is taking responsibility for an attack on a hotel that left an american citizen and 13

activated ultimate -- automatically if it hits water. able to be manually switched on, too. crew members would have had their own survival beacons. and satellite radios. so far, nothing. >> even satellite frequencies sometimes can be hard to get out on a satcom radio when you're in the mountains. >> reporter: hours after they went missing, ronald norgren posted that our son chris was flying the helicopter that is now missing in nepal. and he urged prayers for his family. one hopeful sign. searchers have seen no smoky areas or burn areas in those valleys. some of that terrain is so inaccessible, it can only be reached on foot. and so the search and those prayers continue. amy? >> indeed they do. terry moran, thank you so much. new details about that secret service accident during a bomb scare outside the white house in march. an inspector general investigation found the two
