the train entered this curve. it's in an area called frankford junction. i was actually on that curve taking a look at it. kris van cleave is also there with details on what happened with this new york-bound train. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this train never made it to new york. it met a violent end just over there past all the emergency vehicles and a white building. that's where the train ended up. it met a violent end. people were thrown around. we know many are dead and several injured. >> keep crawling,ing on? >> reporter: from inside amtrak train 188 hundreds struggled to escape the wreckage as the train approached a long curve in northeast philadelphia. witnesses say it started to shake violently. passengers described the terror inside. >> this was a night may. i saw so many head injuries and

bloody faces and people were really injured. they were thrown out of their seats. >> we have people on the tracks and a couple cars overturned. >> reporter: hundreds of first responders arrived on the scene, many using flashlights to search for anyone trapped under the twists mess of metal debris. over 100 were injured, several taken to the hospital in critical condition. >> i've been down on the tracks on the scene with my staff. it's an absolute disastrous mess. never seen anything like this in my life. >> reporter: all seven of the train cars came off the track, the front car landing several yards way from the rest of the train, giving some indication how violent this derailment was. >> a lot of people were just in shock. they couldn't believe what was happening. to see the blood on people's faces. they can't move. their knees were out. >> i've never seen anything so

devastating that. ire in pretty bad shape. you can see they completely completely derailed from the tracks. >> authorities have given no cause for the deadly accident. >> we do not know what happened here. we do not know why it happened. >> reporter: amtrak is preparing to work with the investigators. we've heard from the ntsb. their investigators have started to arrive here at the scene. norah? >> reporter: all right. thank you so much. the governor is thanking the workers so much. jericka duncan is at temple university hospital in north philadelphia where dozens were taken after the crash. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. as i spoke to people overnight who were on that train, they literally teared up as they described the chaos and the struggle to help each other. >> it just happened so fast. it was -- there was a lot of debris.

lights went out. a lot of screaming. >> reporter: former congressman patrick murphy was on board when the train derailed. murphy an iraq vet, wasn't injured, so he started helping those around him who were. >> i stayed back and told people who were bleeding to put pressure on the wounds where they were bleeding from because you don't want to see those folks bleed out. >> reporter: people crawled, stumbled, and were carried out of the wreckage. >> he got me out of the train. the train was filled with smoke, but he said mom, i have to go back and get everyone el out. >> reporter: you went back into this dark train to help the people that you could. why did you do it? >> i was in a position where i could help them, so i don't know. i just instinktishly, that's what i did. >> reporter: many victims were covered in blood but walking. the more serious were treated right at the scene. more than 140 victims were transported to at least five area hospitals. teams of doctors and nurses were

waiting. >> there were some internal injuries where people were they were losing their blood pressure and that was from compression injuries where they were hit suddenly and it was the third or second car. the fourth car had some significant injuries also. >> reporter: did that training in iraq come from that. >> we have ethics. you don't leave people behind. >> reporter: many people i suffolk overnight on camera and off camera said they feel extremely grateful they can even talk about their experiences this morning considering the several people who died and those who are in the hospital right now in critical condition. norah? >> reporter: all right jericka. thank you so much. this morning the big question is how could this have happened. let's go back to charlie and gayle in new york for more on this disaster. >> norah thank you. no amtrak trains are running this morning between philadelphia and new york.

the northeast corner is one of the busiest rail lines in america. amtrak carried more than 11.5 million passengers between washington and boston last year. >> former ntsb chair deborah hersman is with us. she's president of the national safety council. good morning. >> good morning. >> you're in chicago, but let me ask you. what will investigators be looking for now and what is happening on the scene? >> i think the most important thing is they're going to have daylight. they going to assess the situation. they're going to be working with local authorities to get a good debrief on what has happened throughout the night. they want to get those recorders as soon as possible and any perishable evidence needs to be preserved. >> the recorders will tell them how fast this train was going. >> that's right. the recorders will give them really good information about breaking throttle position speed. other indications that they can get from those recorders will help them to ask the right questions and piece the

information together. >> as far as you know can you tell me how dangerous this is as a crash, how bad this is as a crash, and two how dangerous the spot where this train derailed? >> any time you have fatalities in a rail crash, it's significant. this is a highly traveled corridor, one of the busiest corridors in the united states. so there's a lot of trains that pass through here every day. the fact that this corridor is shut down is extremely significant, affecting a lot of passengers. >> does it say anything to you, deborah deborah, the fact that all seven cars derailed on this particular train? >> absolutely. i think that goes to the significance of the crash. not only did you have the cars departing the tracks, but you also had them turning over. that indicates there's quite a lot of energy involved in this event. those are heavy, heavy cars. so for them to turn over -- and,

remember, the passengers and their luggage and everything else is not restrained inside those cars so these what creates some of the damage that happens to the passengers. >> passengers are saying this morning they felt the train was speeding up going into the curve. does that mean anything to you? >> one of the things they'll be looking for is video. trains often have forward facing video. they'll look at what other trains experienced minutes or hours before if there were any defects, anything that any of those trains picked up with respect to rough ride or anything that was captured on the video cameras. >> let's go back to the questions you think need to be asked right now. what are they? >> they're going to be looking at the human, the machine, and the environmental. they're going to be really focused the operator, what he was doing, the condition of the cars, the track, and anything that would have been unusual at that point in time. >> deborah hersman, thank you

for joining us. >> thank you. >> let geese back to norah in philadelphia. norah? >> reporter: thank you. the investigators are sure to be looking into the curve on the track. i saw that. this is not the only rail disa in 1943 a train called the congressional limit crashed just a short distance away killing 79 people. we're going to be here in philadelphia all morning and ahead i'm going to take you in for a closer look at the wreckage and testimony daenchs curve. right now let's get to other news with gayle and charlie. >> norah, thanks. a helicopter is missing in nepal. it was carrying six military and two from nepal. seth doane is monitoring the situation. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we got off the phone with them this morning. they tell us as of this morn

nothing contact has been made with anyone on board the missing helicopter. we know the marines were in a remote region of nepal where they were delivering tarps and rice, but ultimately did not return from that mission and a search team that went out overnight di not find any trace of them. the search by air for the missing marines continued at first light this morning as helicopters took off from kathmandu's airport. there are currently about 300 u.s. troops in nepal. they've been using choppers to ferry relief supplies to hard to reach regions. we were there earlier this month as one of the huey helicopters was offloaded from a giant u.s. military c-7 transport plane. tuesday's 7.2 earthquake flattened buildings that had withstood the april earthquake that sent people running into

the streets way from structures. tell the repeated aftershocks makes it impossible for us to stay at home this kathmandu said. tents were set up again and the search for e survivors resumed with emergency workers using cameras and dogs to look for those trapped under rubble. within hours of tuesday's quake t world's food program began assessing the damage where the quake was centered. it's the same region where we saw entire villages destroyed earlier this month. wfp says it's fed close to a million people so far in what it called an immensely challenging operation. one of the things we kept hearing while we were in nepal is it's not just the challenge of the terrain but also the challenge of the timing with the monsoon season approaching. that means rain and likely more mudslides, land slides that

could very easily cut roads charlie, and cut off more aid. >> seth doane in beijing. thanks. a magnitude 6.8 earthquake rattled japan last night. buildings shook in the northern part of the country but no one was hurt. officials say this quake is an aftershock from the major quake that caused a massive sun in 2011. a white police officer in madison, wisconsin, will not face charge this morning for killing an unarmed buy racial teenager. the district attorney says officer matt kenny was justified in shooting tony robinson in march. new dash cam video shows kenny approaching the home before robinson hit him in the head. he fired his gun seconds later. the officer fired seven shots. toxicology reports found marijuana, xanax, and psychedelic mushrooms in

robinson's system. the family is marching this morning. this morning jeb bush is backtracking about controversial comment on iraq. he said in a tv interview on monday he would have a authorized the iraq war even with the intelligence we have now. >> knowing what you know now, would you have authorized the invasion? >> i would have so would hillary clinton, just to remind everybody, and so would anybody confronted with the intelligent they got. >> that drew criticism from both sides of the political aisle. he attempted to clarify his answer yesterday in a radio interview. >> i interpreted the question wrong then. i thought it was if we knew then would we have done it. knowing what we know now, clearly there were mistakes. >> still jeb bush never said the iraq invasion was ever a

mistaking. >> ted wells says he stands by his report. anna werner is outside the gillette stadium in foxborough massachusetts. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. ted wells has conducted high-profile investigations over the years and always let his reports speak for themselves. what he did on tuesday was highly controversial. >> he spoke of the deflated football in the nfc championship game. >> in my mind the nfl based onmy view of the world certainly was. hoping that i would come back with a report that would find something wrong with the patriots or tom brady. >> reporter: speaking by phone tuesday it was clear with wells who had enough with people who questione hitz motives. >> those personal attacks, bile candid with you, i would not have respond odd but i think those attacks are out of bounds

unfair and just plap wrong. >> reporter: wells says the text messages uncovered by his investigators were direct evidence of wrongdoing by patriots' brady and two other employees. >> if i were sitting on a jury and the judge had charged the jury that it should apply the preupon drans of the evidence i would have said prove it. >> reporter: the report has been since it was released last week. it was derided as a frailed exercise in fact-finding and logic. patriots owner robert craft called it a one-sided investigation. aww today's sports columnist nancy armor says a civil war is brewing between the nfl and the patriots. >> the dynamic between the nfl and robert kraft, one of the most powerful owners in the league, is going to be interesting to watch. >> reporter: these fans stage add protest tuesday at nfl

headquarters in new york. meanwhile jets fans made their views known on 12 billboards across new jersey. a cbs station in das ktvt says brady has hired a lawyer. brady has until 5:00 thursday to file an appeal. gayle? >> all right anna. thanks. we'll all be > north korea's defense chief is reportedly

this was 243 people on board, jumped tracks the tracks killing six people and injuring dozens of others. it was on its way to washington d.c. to new york city. it had has shut down rail service between new york and philadelphia and that is impacting thousands of commuters. and health reporter stephanie stahl joins us now she got an update from doctors at temple university hospital. >> she's outside the hospital right now with the very latest details, stephanie. >> reporter: we got an update the from the chief medical officer at temple university hospital. this hospital received the most number of patients, from that derailment, and the most seriously injured they currently have, 25 patients, here, 25 have have been released, eight are in critical condition the sixth person died, died here at temple last night from massive

chest injuries. lets hear what doctor herb cushion had to say. here's his update. >> the patients were awake and could talk to me, were folks in the last two cars. i didn't speak to anyone awake further ahead in the train but they said it was chaotic and difficult and the folks i talked to were injured because people felon them or things felon them in the train. >> reporter: doctor cushion also tells us that most of the injuries here are limb fractures, a lot of that from as he was saying, things falling on them. and they have currently as i said, eight people in critical condition, 25 admitted, and most of these are fractures. this was a level four mass casualty alert called here at the hospital, that means basically, it is all hand on

deck. we have a street cleaner going behind me. mass casualty alert at temple, all hand on deck. he said everything operated the way it was supposed to. we still have 25 patients here being evaluated being treated, there were three surgeries overnight. those are now updates throughout the day. i'm stephanie stahl cbs-3 "eyewitness news". >> stephanie, thank you. lets get over to vittoria with the latest on those folks who who were going to take amtrak today, vittoria. >> we will get to mass trans tonight a second because we are dealing with the suspension of service for amtrak but lets talk in and around that area, traveling right around frank for junction. frankford avenue police are directing traffic between torresdale and castor wheatsheaf lane still closed, sedgley avenue still closed, in regard to mass transit service suspended between philadelphia and new york but they are running modified schedules between d.c., philadelphia harrisburg and philadelphia, insuring and boston and new jersey transit is cross honoring amtrak tickets between new york and

trenton. same thing goes if you are traveling river line we are cross honoring there as well. we are still dealing with the suspension of the trenton line and also the ac rail line, if you were using any of those so plan accordingly and take a look at rush hour don't forget about that as well but we don't to have deal with bad weather today katie. >> that is true, vittoria, that is one thing that will completely cooperate with the investigation and rescue effort. just clean up that need to be done here. storm scan three remains empty, we have nice clear sky for you out there but notice win direction taking you out to our field cameras in the live neighborhood network boardwalk plaza at rehoboth, featuring west northwest breeze. not terrible but enough to notice it and enough that it is cooler too as well by comparison to yesterday. rebounding slightly with time as we head toward weekend ukee. >> katie, thank you. >> for those watching cbs-3 we are returning to cbs this morning but for more continuing coverage of the deadly train derailment we're

you're looking at the worst accident in 23 years. rescuers spent the night looking for some passengers who are unaccounted for. welcome back to "cbs this morning." and we still do not know why this train crashed. at least six people were killed. eight others are in critical condition at this hour. more than 100 of the 243 people on board were hurt. a short time ago norah went along the tracks to get a better idea of what happened. >> reporter: look at this. the busiest corridor in the country. amtrak corridor in the country shut down. no trains because that's the derailed cars right down there. this morning as the sun is coming up, we're getting our first look at those seven cars that jumped the track there. as you can see this is a big bend, a big curve in the tracks. it's actually known as frankford

junction. amtrak trains can travel 45 miles an hour. they have to slow down because of this very curve. this morning there are local state federal officials on the ground trying to figure out what happened, also trying to make sure there are no more people on board those derailed cars. >> now, let's go live to norah in philadelphia. this is such a sad story. we have all taken the train many times. what are you hearing now? >> yeah. incredibly sad. we've all traveled that route many, many times. i'm in the front yord of a couple. they say the bang from the crash actually woke them up sand so they witnessed much of what happened. they say in talking to them that train usual goes fast around that curve. this also comes at a time that amtrak itself has been pushing for hundreds of millions of dollars in federal money to upgrade the railway system. so i think that's going to be a

part of the debate too as to what happens here and what can be done in the future to prevent another disaster in the future. >> they're looking for the black box. do we know whether the engineer survived this? >> reporter: we don't know. we know that of the seven cars that were catapulted from the rail, one of them was the engine car. that's why the team of investigators has come this morning, the ntsb. there are some talks that it may be a while before we'll be able to download the data if you will as to what exactly happened. i think, frankly, gayle and charlie, there's still a recovery mission here getting everybody off the trains and moving some of those cars. this is such a mass it is disaster. you know amtrak is talking about that it may be days before amtrak is back up on line.

this is such a huge huge scale in terms of what's happened here on these rails. also, you know for many of the people t first word of this crash came from a tweet. i don't know if you saw this. but former representative patrick murphy who's from this area, he was actually on board this train and jericka duncan actually spoke to him last night. jericka, what did you learn? >> reporter: well, he sent that tweet out at about 9:30. that derailment happened. he said his goal was to make sure everyone was okay. he's an iraq veteran and he said he would not leave anyone behind. so he stayed on that dark train and made sure he could help as many people as he could. >> i think everyone was bleeding, some worse than others. but i just checked my body parts. i had all my body parts. you know, people were screaming and going out the emergency window. the people in the car, eight or

nine made a mad dash. they were stepping over people. there were two who were really serious. one guy couldn't move anything and another was bleeding everywhere. we put pressure on his head. we lost five men on this train. my unit in iraq. >> reporter: they're look into exactly what happened. norah? >> all right, jericka. thank you so much. we're going to ba back in the next hour with the latest on the investigation. right now let's go back to charlie and gayle in new york. >> norah, thanks. time to show you this morning's headlines from around the globe. the korea herald said north korea executed its defense chief. he allegedly fell asleep during ay and talked back to dictator

kim john un. they say he was killed last month. they're considering using navy and aircraft shipments. now, this move could raise tensions over disputed in the region where china is building facilities. today they say they're extremely concerned by the possible u.s. plan. "forbes" says the number of merning spending money on prescription drugs has jumped. they find an increase of 63% in 2014. the total rose to 576,000 people. patients taking at least $100,000 worth of prescription drugs tripled. the majority of these patients take at least ten medications from at least four different prescribers. >> the "washington post" is reporting on a dean at the university of virginia who's suing the "rolling stone" magazine. the more than $7.5 million

lawsuit has to do with the alleged rape on campus. included is an image from the newspaper that was turned into an illustration in the "rolling stone." he claims it portrays her as villainous. the so-called instant articles from nine media companies may load up to ten times faster because readers stay on facebook instead of following a link to another site. former new york yankees catcher jorge posada stayed with them for 17 years. he wrote a book called "my live in pinstripes." mark strassmann spoke with posada about the

performance-enhanceing drug scandal and his former teammates. >> reporter: the former players who were usi performance-enhancing drugs like alex rodriguez, are their records tainted? >> i think right now the biggest is the hall of fame. eventually they're going to have to. but it's tough. it's a tough question to answer today. >> do you resent the players who didn't play clean who got records that you didn't get? >> yeah. the only thing i could think of is three. i was close to the mvp. it didn't happen. alex won mvp. i think second was carlos delgado or david ortiz, i don't remember. i was almost there. what could have happened if you know -- it's tough. it's really tough. >> because some of your teammates, roger clemons and eventually a-rod will be up for

hall of fame. i mean when -- and there's a great debate in baseball about who knew what and did they look the over way. shouldn't players who were known to have used steroids should they be in the hall of fame? >> no. >> no. >> no. no. i don't think it's fair for the guys who have been in the hall of fame who played cleanly. >> even alex rodriguez? >> yeah. i don't think it's farks i really don't. i think the guys who are in the hall of fame need to be players who played with no controversy. >> have you told him that? >> no. >> no. >> would he be surprised to hear it? >> oh, yeah yeah. >> he won't be surprised to hear that some people have that pin. it's an ongoing debate in baseball. >> to have your teammate speak up that's very unusual. >> and you also think about people that might have been most valuable player. there but someone used steroids. that's hard to lever with that

or if you don't get in the hall because of that. >> i can see why that would be frustrating. tomorrow jorge posada opens up about his family plus his relationship with the captain. that would be derek jeter. that's tomorrow on "cbs this morning." a battle over bottled water that keepsing the water gushing. >> if you're heading off to work and you don't want to miss the rest of this broadcast, you don't have to miss it. you can set your dvr to watch it any time you'd like. we'll be right back.

new this week. california's drought emergency. when companies plan to open a water bottling plant in the state is facing backlash. ben tracy shows us why it's one of a dozen of companies under fire. >> reporter: thousands of californians are told to let their grounds go brown and farmers are letting their crops

die as the drought sinks to the lows. on mt. shasta they tap up to 15 million bottles a day. the company is opening a existing planl and it will have a nej imageable effect on the local environment but it will join 100 other companies already bottling and setting water in california. >> with wells going dry across the state, is it really fair to be bottling this water, draining groundwater that's not going to recharge for years and centuries. >> reporter: and the companies aren't just tapping groundwater. retail giant walmart acknowledged that its great value water comes from the city water supplies of sacramento and me december toe. and walmart is not alone. other companies that pull from california's water supply include aquafina arrowhead, and dasani. they told cbs news its typically

low. in fact, bottled water company use 2.6 billion companies of california water per year. that may seem like a lot but even the state's didn't of water resources say it's a drop in the bucket compared with a 2.4 trillion gallons consumed in urban areas and the 8.6 million soaked up by the agriculture. >> the city in los angeles uses as much water in one week as the california bottling companies do in one year. >> reporter: still with so much focus on the drought, private companies making a profit on california's water has become an issue of perception. just last week starbucks desidedcided to temporarily halt its bottling company. the question is whether others will turn off their tap and let the water revenue go dry. >> something says the optics

d.c. and philadelphia but you have two options for new jersey transit the because they are cross honoring tickets between new york and trenton, and also the new jersey river line is doing the same thing. the lets get a check of weather with katie katie. >> thankfully it looks like the weather will cooperate for rescue efforts investigation all of that taking place at the the crash site and really for anything else that you may have going on today. just keep in mind breeze is noticeable. we started off with a look at storm can three emptying itself out and just devoid of wet weather for sure but even cloud cover as time progresses here. you will notice gusty breeze, 70 degrees is our expect high but gusts as high as 30 miles an hour. slow creep on the thermometer with time here. tomorrow looks beautiful and back to the 80's by the weekend, erika. >> next update 8:25, next on cbs this morning fitness star christmas abbott, for more breaking news coverage on the amtrak tragedy we're on the cw

helicopter. brady has hire jeffrey kloeffler who helped overturn adrian peterson's indefinite suspension. >> even adrian peterson? >> i don't. i think they need to be in the hall of fame with no controversy. >> mcdonald's is starting to introduce kale into their salad. >> mcdonald's customers heard this and asked, what's kale and a sad. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" presented by walgreens. i'm charlie rose with gayle king. we'll hear from norah o'donnell in philadelphia in a moment. it could take days to clear amtrak's busy northeast door after-- corridor after last night's deadly accident. >> six are dead eight others critically hurt. in all 1rks 40 passengers needed hospital care and that's out of 243 passengers and crew that

were on board. norah's at the scene of the northeast philadelphia disaster. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, gayle and charlie. that derailed train is not far from here about 100 yards. we took a closer look at where the train ran off the tracks. it's a busy crossing. frankford junction. witnesses say the front of the train suddenly stopped as it was entered the curve in the track. the commuter train was heading to new york city from washington, d.c., when it derailed here in philadelphia. six passengers were killed. we learned that this morning. and over 140 went to area hospitals with injuries. this morning we're learning eight of those are in critical condition. emergency workers swarmed the crash sight shortly after the derailment trying to help the injured. philadelphia mayor michael nutter could not say how many

patterns are unaccounted for andorities are still unsure what caused all seven cars to slide off the track. and it's not clear yet if any foul play was involved. although early word is that it was an accident. the plane was packed with 238 passengers and five crew members. the national transportation safety board is already here in philadelphia combing through the wreckage looking for an answer to last night's crash. so you can see there's still a lot of activity here. a fire truck went by behind us. balances. it's still very crowded. a lot going on. >> joining us now is congressman jeff denham. congressman, good morning. >> it's my pleasure. good morning. >> tell us more about this crash. >> certainly we can talk about

safety and talk about the crash and derailment. we want to make sure we have safe passenger rail and other rail across the country. we want to look at ptc which is positive train control which is new technology that would allow a train to get a signal to warn them as they're approaching the curve. it can alert a conductor if they're going too fast and set up alerts if they're heading to a turn too quick as well as if there's anything on the track, a disruption on the track so that we're alerted of that as well. >> other than loss of life congressman, what troubles you most about what you're hearing? >> i mean i think the biggsest challenge right now is not knowing. not knowing how this happened why it happened. you know i am impressed with the administration that they're responding very very quickly.

fra administrator sarah feinberg is on the scene. they're investigating. obviously like the rest of the country, they're looking for answers. people get on the rail every single day. you expect to be safe. this is a horrific accident. you never expect this to happen. >> you mention things that you think will possibly help to prevent these kinds of accidents. how fast will they be installed around what's the process right now? >> reporter: . >> that's the challenge. certainly part of this is a financial issue, so we're trying to make the finances available for amtrak to move forward, but we want to see positive train control implemented as quick as possible across the entire country. >> you recently introduced a bill on passenger rail reform. does it address safety?

>> it certainly is moving orward. it's in the senate now. we've got letters from the president that he's in support of the bill. we're trying to get that to his desk as quick as possible. i think the think it will help is keep the profits on the corridor so they can reinvest in their infrastructure and be able to improve the track and improve the ride and hopefully improve the ridership. >> congressman denham thank you so much for joining us. >> charlie, thanks for having us. >> our coverage continues all day long. you can watch it on our new cbs news app or go to cbsnews.com/live. crossfit competitor and power lift ter christmas abbott is her name. she's building a fitness empire around as she
