♪ going to chase down our every desire ♪ ♪ say oh what a beautiful life ♪ >> thank you guys so much. there is new information about that deadly amtrak train crash. federal investigators say the train was traveling at more than 100 miles an hour, when it reached a turn and derailed.

that is twice the maximum speed limit for that stretch of tracks. good evening, everyone, i'm frank somerville. >> i'll julie haener. we have also learned the tracks in philadelphia lack a type of safety technology mandated by congress seven years ago, called positive train control. it's designed to automatically slow down a train that is moving too fast. we get the new developments tonight from ktvu's heather holmes. >> reporter: julie, under current law, that life saving technology must be installed by the end of the year. while the investigation into yesterday's crash has only just begun, it is clear that this train was traveling way too fast, something that would have been impossible, had the safety system been in place. as daylight broke, we were able to see the extent of the damage to amtrak train 188. and hear from those onboard the 7 car train as it sped into a curve in philadelphia. >> everyone on the left side of the train where i was, just

flew to other side. i tried to hold onto the table, but i went head first into the other side. >> reporter: patrick murphy is a former philadelphia congressman. he describes being jolted from his seat and the chaos that followed. >> the guy next to me passed out. i said hey guy get up. he came too. lost a lot of blood and a lot of people. >> reporter: at least seven people died. his mother says he was a straight a student, and his high school's valedictorian. one of the lives investigators say could have been saved if federally mandated technology had been in place. >> we have called for positive train control for many, many years. we feel that had such a system been installed in this section of track, this accident would not have occurred. >> reporter: the train's data recorder has been recovered,

investigators with the national transportation safety board, said the initial review shows the train was traveling much faster than the authorized 50 miles per hour through the curve. that the engineer had managed to slow the train to 102 miles per hour, before it jumped the tracks we've learned bostian spent time operating trains on bay area tracks. prior to 2011, he worked on the caltrain corridor from san francisco to san jose. the answer to what happened in philadelphia may rest with bostian, and the black box. >> i'm lucky to be alive. >> officials says today that more than 200 people were injured. 8 of them critically. service remains suspended tonight while investigators continue to examine the wreckage and frank and julie, they continue to go through each one of the cars looking

for any more victims. >> it was dark out there when it happened. terrible. heather thank you. we wanted to find out if that train technology is used here in the bay area. call train told us, the $231 million system will be operational by the end of this year as required by federal raw all of the locomotives and cab cars would be equipped. b.a.r.t. is not required to have the technology. one other thing about trains is they don't have seat belts, so passengers say the moment the train derailed, they were thrown against walls, and luggage, and other loose items went flying through the air. we spoke to some amtrak passengers today. one passenger said he thinks the train should have seat belts. >> they need seat belts. you know, you get a lot of

older people in there, younger people. you need safety. >> new york senator chuck schumer, and former transportation secretary ray lahood agree. they say seat belts could have limited the number of people killed or injured following that crash in philadelphia. the current transportation secretary just happened to be in the bay area today. he said that he can't comment on the accident in philadelphia, but he is it say the crash will likely draw attention to the nation's aging rail infrastructure. >> our rail systems have been living more or less a hand to mouth existence, and haven't had the ability to make long term capital plans. that's something we've attempted to fix. >> stay with ktvu for continuing coverage of the amtrak crash, and follow us on twitter and facebook for updates around the clock. the warriors playoff run

resumed tonight at roaricle in cleveland. >> you were saying, this is the best you think they've looked so far in this series. >> you watch this game tonight, the way it unfolded, the hard to believe that memphis has actually beaten them twice in this series, and had the warriors a little bit on the ropes. tonight, certainly their best game and the one that closely resembled what they did in the regular season. they know all about slow cooking down in memphis. this is what happened to the grizzlies tonight. the warriors start slow, but steph hits a three to end the 1st quarter. just great ball movement here. the movement to draymond green and andrew bogut. clay thompson will also find the right guy. steph, beating the shot clock. there you go. 100 threes in the postseason for steph. no one has done that this

quick. harrison barnes, a beneficiary there, as he pops a three. watch him look for the open man. andre iguodala in the open court. he can do it. maybe his best game of the postseason so far, and meaningful minutes for david lee. hasn't been much of a factor, but he gets a nice lay-up there. 7 rebounds, and 6 points. up 20. clay thompson not only hits a three, but he was fouled, and nailed the free throw. they're dancing and smiling. a very convincing lead, and a 3- 2 lead in the series. joe fonzi is out there right now in the locker room. he will have all the postgame interviews for us a little later on in sports. we'll show you more highlights too. most convincing victory, i think not only in this series,
