captioning funded by cbs welcome to cbs "this morning." the investigation of the deadly amtrak train crash in philadelphia is quickly coming down to one question -- why was the train going twice as fast as it should have? the ntsb confirms the train was going more than 100 miles an hour before it derailed. >> the engineer at the controls told his lawyer he can not remember what happened. we will talk with the ntsb lead investigator about that in just a moment. but first, chris van cleave is near the scene of the crash in northeast philadelphia. chris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. investigators recovered a data recorder and a camera from the wreckage yesterday. that's still being analyzed. crews are back out at the scene this morning as the investigation is increasingly centering around the speed of this train as it derailed. as crews worked to clear the wreckage, the investigation into the deadly derailment is focused on the train's engineer brandon bostian. the national transportation

safety board says the train was traveling at 106 miles per hour where the track curves more than double the speed limit for that section. the engineer applied the emergency brake moments before it derailed but it did little to slow the train down. philadelphia's mayor said there is no reason the engineer should have been traveling that fast. >> clearly he was reckless and irresponsible in his actions. i don't know what was going on with him. i don't know what was going on in the cab but there's really no excuse that could be offered. >> reporter: bostian lives in queens, new york and has been an amtrak engineer since 2010. his attorney told abc newsuzews "nightline" bostian has no memory of the accident. >> he remembers driving the train, has absolutely no recollection of the incident or anything unusual. >> reporter: after the crash he was treated for injuries and taken to a police station. he declined to make a statement before leaving with his lawyer and as of wednesday he had yet

to speak with ntsb investigators. i wanted to ask you the significance of the amount of speed this train had when it approached the curve. >> trains go over this particular curve many times a day and trains don't derail. here we've got one doing twice the speed and it derailed. >> reporter: surveillance video shows the train moments before it went off the tracks. the camera captured the electrical sparks from the crash. on wednesday rescuers expanded the search area looking for those who are still unaccounted for. one of the survivors, 30-year-old george alexiotis suffered injuries to his right arm. he remembers the chaos inside the train. >> there was a girl that landed ended up where you put your luggage, she ended up there, she like hit her head and ended up there and i had to help her down. and i just still can't believe that i was on that train. >> reporter: amtrak is in the process of installing mandated technology that would remotely slow down a speeding train. the deadline for installation is the end of the year.

the ntsb told me they believe this technology could have prevented an accident like this. >> thank you, chris. crews are working around the clock to repair the tracks but this morning it's still unclear when amtrak service will be restored between philadelphia and new york city. the seven people who died in this disaster include a tech ceo, a future u.s. navy officer, and a college dean who had just finished his ph.d.. jericka duncan is outside philadelphia's temple university hospital which treated dozens of injured passengers. jericka, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, we've just learned within the hour that 16 people remain at the hospital and eight of them reason in critical condition. but for the more than 200 people on that train, doctors say the psychological impact should not be overlooked. five of the seven people killed in tuesday's crash have been identified. they include abid gilani, a senior vice president with wells fargo. jim gaines, a 48-year-old father

of two and justin simzemser, a 20-year-old naval academy midshipman midshipman. >> he was wonderful. he was absolutely wonderful. everybody looked up to my son. there's no other words i can say. >> reporter: derrick griffith was also confirmed as one of the passengers killed. he was the dean of student affairs at medgar evers college in brooklyn, new york. the school released a statement calling him a pillar in the community adding "he will be sorely missed." 39-year-old rachel jacobs a ceo of a tech company, was a wife and mom to a two-year-old. she was on her way home when the train crashed. in a statement to cbs "this morning," her family said "she was devoted to her family her community, and the pursuit of social justice. we can not imagine life without her." near the crash site the family of 45-year-old bob gildersleeve passed out flyers. the baltimore dad hasn't been seen since the crash. >> it's very frustrating. very. not that they're not trying but

trying and coming up empty. >> we have no idea where he is what hospital he's at. >> reporter: in an interview posted on twitter, gildersleeve's son told reporters his dad caught the train two hours after dropping him off at a sports practice. >> my name is mark gildersleeve please help me find my dad. >> reporter: more than half the people treated for their injuries have been sent home but at least one doctor tells us many of the people who were on that train will need treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder as the days and months go on. >> jericka, thanks. robert sumwalt of the ntsb is leading the derailment investigation in philadelphia. good morning. >> good morning. >> tell us where the invetigation is right now. we have the reports of 106 miles per hour going into the curve. what are we learning from the edge here? what are you learning from your investigation that advance this is story and our understanding of exactly what happened? >> well we've got a lot of work to be done but yesterday we got a lot done.

of course, yesterday was our first day on scene. i think finding out the speed of the train was a very significant discovery. we hope to be able to interview the engineer very soon we look forward to the opportunity to hear from them. today is going to be a very busy day in the course of this investigation. >> does it surprise you to hear that the engineer says he can't remember a thing even though there is evidence that he applied the brakes? >> well we've not interviewed the engineer. but i want to point out that for somebody who's been through a traumatic event this is not unusual for human behavior to have the mind blank out things like that. at least for the short term. so that would not surprise me at all. >> would you agree it was reckless in the words of mayor nutter to be going that fast around this curve? >> no, i'm not going to agree with that at all. i think that's a subjective judgmental statement. we're here just to find out what happened and that's what we want to do. we want to find out what happened and why and we're not

casting any judgment calls at this point right now. we want to talk to this person and find out what his perspective was. >> what could have prevented this crash? >> well positive train control is exactly what would have prevented this crash. this is something that's been mandated by congress to be installed by the end of this year. it's designed to form redundancy for human error so that when human error does occur the system kicks in and will not allow the train to be oversped. >> so how many miles on the northeast corridor has it not been installed yet? >> we are gathering that information right now and we want to find out what percentage of the northeast corridor does have it and that's important. but we -- of course this part of the track is as you know did not have the positive train control installed on it. so we want to find out why. >> we understand that there was a forward-facing camera on the train. were you all able to look at that yet?

>> well we -- it just gives us yet one more perspective of what might have been going on. of course, it's the forward facing looking out from the locomotive cab so it can tell us what happens some of the track conditions it can tell us some of the signal indications. so it's just one more piece of the puzzle that we hope to use to be able to pull this thing together. >> robert sumwalt, thanks for taking time out from your investigation to talk to us. the crash led to a stormy meeting on capitol hill wednesday. republicans on the house appropriations committee rejected pleas from democrats to give amtrak more money in next year's budget. instead, the committee approved spending cuts for the railroad. budget problems have kept amtrak from fully using new technology that we've been talking about that might have prevented the disaster. so we'll take you inside a simulator to see how this positive train control that we were talking about works. that's ahead here on cbs "this morning" j the search resumed for a missing marine helicopter in nepal. it was delivering aid in the

country's northeast when it disappeared tuesday. search crews are focusing on an area 50 miles from kathmandu. seth doane is in beijing tracking the progress. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's not just americans searching but nepalese special forces and also 400 nepalese soldiers are searching on the ground. in the air, people have repositioned satellites and are using drones to try to help find this missing helicopter. three nepalese helicopters are flying search missions along with u.s. and indian military aircraft looking for those six u.s. marines and two nepalese soldiers who were on board that missing chopper. the u.s. military has been using uh 1y or huey helicopters to ferry relief supplies in until. the names of those on board have not been released but the family of 31-year-old captain christopher nordegren believes he may have been the pilot of the missing huey. "we were visited today by the military. we found out for certain it was

christopher's unit" his mother told cbs news by phone. "we know it's down no wreckage. they are still trying to find it." mark bell, a family friend choked up while speaking with cbs station kwch in wichita, kansas. >> it's hard. >> reporter: alan shuckman is nordegren's former football coach. >> there's no doubt in my mind that he is still alive in those mountains and leading those men. if i had to put my life in somebody's hands he would be the first i would choose. >> reporter: the u.s. military tweeted photos of u.s. and nepalese troops at work showing they're still focused on delivering aid and evacuating the wounded. many nepalese are sleeping outside again, petrified of aftershocks. even patients at this kathmandu hospital were moved outdoors. there was an emergency beacon on that missing huey helicopter but it's what's known as a line of

sight beacon which means it could be interrupted or disrupted by the mountains. norah? >> seth doane in beijing, thank you. jeb bush continues his apparent path to a presidential campaign today in arizona, the republican faced a testy exchange in nevada yesterday with a democratic college student over his family's legacy in iraq. >> your brother created isis. >> is that a question. >> you don't need to be pedantic to me sir. >> pedantic wow. >> you can just answer my question. >> bush told the student leaving u.s. troops in iraq could have kept the country stable. john dickerson is here. john, good morning. >> good morning, norah. >> looking at the front pages of the papers, the "washington post" and the "new york times" suggesting that jeb bush stumble it had most basic simple question about his brother's legacy in iraq. what happens? >> if there is a single most predictable question you would have written it down at the top of your list getting ready for president, this would have been it, his brother was president when this war was going on and

he's had trouble. his first answer was when asked the question knowing everything we know now would you authorize the war. he said yes. then immediately in talking to his aides they were saying he's got to clean that up. when he did he said "misstalks were made as they were in life." the question here is not just what he would have done but what he has learned and we don't know that. >> well, i mean i talked to marco rubio yesterday and i phrased the question this way. based on the fact that we knew there were no weapons of mass destruction there, would you have been in favor of an iraqi invasion? he said no nor would president bush have been in favor of an invasion if he had known that there were no weapons of mass destruction. >> well, it's an interesting question. president george w. bush's brother said it was the right decision knowing everything we know now it's the right decision.

then he had to come up with a second answer. but part of the political pressure for jeb bush is that marco rubio, ted cruz, chris christie all knew how to answer that. >> is that going to be a difficult question? >> well, 18% of the country think it's worth it which means the rest think it was not worth the incredible cost. the reason that this is important is because this is the largest invasion the united states launched since vietnam and republicans talk a lot about ronald reagan. some have been saying we don't want to talk about iraq because it's in the past but they talk about the iraq all the time. >> does it also show that jeb bush is rusty in handling questions? >> he's rusty and we have no indication he's learned anything about this signature event in american history just as a matter of how he would run his president is. but also he doesn't want to throw his brother under the bus. he doesn't want to make it look

like his brother's foreign policy was a disaster. but on the campaign trail you'll hear republicans talk about ronald reagan and the lessons of his led leadership. they never talk about george w. bush and dick cheney kbausz of the fact that the public is so sour on this iraq war. a hammer-wielding suspect is under police guard at a new york city hospital. they say he's the person wanted for four bizarre hammer attacks over six hours on monday. he injured a police officer in another attack yesterday. venita nair shows us how the officer's partner brought the man down on a busy street. venita good morning. >> reporter: good morning. police say this isn't the first time david berill attacked an officer and the city's police commissioner says a split second decision ended the manhunt for the suspect and likely saved another officer's life. this stunning assault on two nypd officers happened in midtown manhattan yesterday, knocking officer lauren o'rourke

off her feet. >> i was drinking coffee i says "is that the hammer guy?" >> reporter: bystander anthony o'grady says he thought he was going to get shot in the altercation with david burill. >> they were shooting my way. i ran behind the phone booth. i wasn't trying to get shot. i seen him go down. >> reporter: commissioner bill bratton says his officers approached burill that's when he turned on them swinging at officer o'rourke with the claw end of his hammer. >> even as she was being attacked the officer was on the radio attempting to get help while her partner in the space of what we feel was about three seconds made what i believe was the right decision. >> o'rourke's partner fired five shots. you can see the slugs propped up on top of coffee cups. burrill's weapon of choice surrounded by crime scene zblap it looks like it has blood on it so i would say it looks like the same hammer he's been using. >> reporter: police say burrill

assaulted three women and a man on monday. in one of the attacks burrill walks up to a female victim then clobbers her in the head, using a subway surveillance image discovered after the assaults, police used their facial recognition software to match one of burrill's earlier mug shots. manhattan chief of detectives william aubrie said they also had a look at his instagram account. >> there was a picture of a hammer with blood dripping from the tip of the hammer and also the claw. >> reporter: according to the nypd, the officer that was attacked has been released from the hospital after suffering cuts to her head and back. burrill has eight prior arrests including assault against an officer. he is expected to survive and will be charged in the coming days. gayle? >> glad he is off the streets. thank you, venita. important news for millions of americans at risk for a repeat case of skin cancer.

>> it's done. whatever i can do, the system is now in command. >> reporter: implementing ptc nationwide was a congressional mandate in 2008 political action after a metro train collided head on with another train in los angeles. 25 people died. the driver of that metrolink train was text messaging. had ptc existed then would that accident have happened? >> no it would not. it would have prevented it from happening. >> if a train operator makes a mistake, has a heart attack or potentially wants to win, ptc will kick in. >> yes. >> do you think it's worth it? >> we think it's worth every penny. >> i'm running the train with the system overlay watching my every movie. >> like a boss over your shoulder. >> correct. >> ptc doesn't just guard

our dr. david agus is in tampa, florida, today. we were talking about you in the makeup room that dr. david agus is recommending a vitamin. that muld be very special. what are you talking about? >> it's pretty amazing. in australia, 60% of the population get skin cancers. nonmelanoma kind. so they took people with cancers, half got vitamin b3 which is a derivative of niacin and half got placebo and after a year, there was a 23ch reduction in the number of skin cancers. so that's a dramatic number when you say that over 3 1/2 mel yn. >> could it also prevent melanoma melanoma? >> no. melanoma is a different

molecular cause. it's a listle different how it works. these three turn back on the system which seems to be regulated by sunlight. melanoma is a little different in that regard so these are the nonmelanoma skin cancers and they should only be taken by people who had previous ones. it's never been tested in people with no skin cancers. >> no downside i assume. >> no. this was very well tolerated. it's a derivative. really no side effects and pretty dramatic benefit in this regard. >> can i show you photos of a young woman that's been posted on facebook. these are the dangers of tanning beds. it looks painful. is this the same type of cancer that we're talking about? >> this is it. so she was in a tanning bed many times as a young kid and this is what you see. you have to burn them off. sometimes with topical chemotherapy or some other irritant and obviously it's painful, costs a lot, and is

xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. i took xarelto® for afib... an irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. hey, well i'm glad we got together. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. tell me about it. let's see, golf clinic, or blood clinic? ooh, that's a tough one. not this time. not with xarelto®. anything else? i'll have another arnold palmer. ok. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding

and in rare cases may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. now at chili's new top shelf ranchero chicken tacos. stop in for lunch and tap, swipe, and go. chili's. fresh is happening now. jump into kohls super saturday for

>> as a matter of fact it is. yes. we're supposed to help from afar, be subtle. implant an inspirational thought or nudge you toward that sham pooh that gives your hair bounce. >> pantene? >> you're welcome. >> charlie goes we know which one that is. hello, maggie. >> jane went like this. >> great. >> yes, indeed. >> the tight sl called "angel from hell" and i didn't understand the title. gosh, you are extremely annoying. >> yes indeed. she pushes her agenda. she wants this one to have a good life and she sees her going down the wrong path. >> she starts making her drink in the afternoons and all sorts of things. first she wants me to go away but i don't because i'm persistent in my mission which is to give her a really good

life. >> after "glee" you were ready to jump back in? >> yes. i didn't know i would. i didn't know this would end up in front of me. we were both saying it's like the best pilot we've read in a long time. >> you both felt that? >> yes. and kevin and paul are the other cast members. >> and they said the same thing? >> they said the same thing. >> what was it for you, maggie? at one point in the series you said i could use a weird friend. >> yeah. >> i want to go through my whole life and not have a weird friend. do you have a weird friend? >> oh many. >> most of my friends are weird. yeah. >> and that's why i like them. >> exactly. i think that concept is really cool. i think we could all use a little crazy now and again to sort of intervene and turn everything on its head and wake up a little bit and i think that idea is really cool especially in the form of jane lynch. >> this is the first time you two have been together.

i love -- you did something -- >> we did. >> there's an encounter. >> it happened in the women's bathroom. >> i was going in to read with her and i got there a few minutes early and i said if it's already i want to run to the bathroom really fast. i went into the restroom and she was in there and she was singing at the top of her lungs. >> what were you thinking? >> "i'm a dancer." ♪ god i'm a dancer ♪ >> you joined her. >> i thought someone's in the bathroom and heard me singing, oh well. >> let's get back to "glee. "i think it's interesting you go from one successful show to what everybody things will be another smash. are you worried you have to live up to that or do you live up to the pressure i did it once and now i have to make it good

again? >> i'm sure you feel this too f i don't think about that stuff at all. i'll have a fleeting thought and someone might ask me that question, but, no i don't. >> you do the work and show up every day and have fun. that's what we did with this pilot. showed up and had a blast. >> a blast, yeah. >> how many will you do in the first season? >> well you know you usually do, what, 11 and you get -- they back nine orders or something like that. and the great thing about cbs, what i love about cbs. >> what do you love? >> so many things. they use the word in the presentation last night, stable. when they put a show on the schedule that's where it stays. they don'tpy a show unless they feel pretty darn good about it. >> it's hard to get on the cbs schedule. >> it is. >> it's such an honor. >> it's a bit of confidence for us. as we go in we know they're behind us and it's the best feeling. we can do better work. >> did you take anything from

the set of "glee?" >> yes. i was detective julianna hairo'hara and i took that. >> and i took my track suit. >> i knew you would. >> for charity auctions but who would want them? >> costume party. they'll be handy for that. >> thank you, maggie and jane. good luck. we're cheering you on. >> thank you. please watch. >> you can watch "angel from hell" at 9:30. 8:30 central on cbs. we'l
