source, turns out he facilitated access to documents, everything he has said hasn't held up to scrutiny, he has to get this investigation back into a very serious mode and go back to the facts wherever they lead him. >> sean spicer scolded the media on friday for what he says is unmasking an american or several americans the dissimilar natiem political purposes, do you believe there's a story being missed here? >> don't know for sure, but will say what i've read occasionally the identity of an american will be unmasked meaning the black mark will be taken off, sometimes it's hard to know, this happens a lot whether it happened inappropriately we don't know yet but seems like a diverse from the white house to get away from the real issue which is collusion between the

291 injured, 343 killed. now experts are sounding off. >> people think they're very loud but the truth is it they are relatively quiet. if an engineer sees someone on the tracks even if they play the emergency brakes, it take as mile or so to stop. >> we're setting up an experiment. there are csx workers here to keep us safe. there's a train coming down the track all the way in the distance. i'm not sure if you can see the headlights or not. i'm going to stand with my back to the train like many of us do while taking selfies, we'll see how soon the train gets here before i hear it. would i have time to get out of the way. here comes the train. i don't hear anything at all. >> it's getting closer and

closer and still not it's getting closer and closer and still not a peep. i hear it right now. here it is. lookow at that. it's basically right on top of me. they are pretty quiet for as big as theyui are. that is -- boy, that is an amazing example, proof that you just don't have time to jump out of the way. watchha again from a different angle. this camera is just inches from the track. you can't hear a thing. keep listening -- only when it's right on top of our camera do you hear it. and this train is only going 25 miles per hour. some trains get up to 70, 80, even 90. >> the bottom line, we've seen here you're not necessarily going to see or hear it coming. it's illegal, it's dangerous, it's deadly. >> an important lesson for all of us. train engineers say they seeon all the time. they don't know what to do.

they can't stop ingi time. officials put it this way -- you wouldn't take pictures in the middle of a highway, so guys, don't do it on the train tracks. >> gosh. >> a good example. thanks. i've seen plenty of senior pictures wherere it's train tracks. i assumed that you would hear thee train. >> 340 people killed last year. >> wow. >> i had no idea it that was serious. next, looking for more than just a cup of coffee this morning. dylan's in new york with what starbucks has to offer. and it could get heated. that's next. type 2 diabetes, listen up. we're not professional athletes. but that doesn't mean we're giving up. i'm in this for me. for me. along with diet and exercise, farxiga helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. lowering a1c by up to 1.2 points. do not take if allergic to farxiga. if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking and seek medical help right away. do not take farxiga if you have severe kidney problems, are on dialysis, or have bladder cancer. tell your doctor right away
