80 miles per hour slowing to 50 in the curve. train 188 was traveling at 1 06 miles per hour when he slammed on the brakes. it was too late. the train went down the tracks and careened and took out four of these structures. now the challenge is get all of this rebuilt. at the crash scene amtrak ceo. what do you say to the americans who worry -- >> this is a safe railroad. you know this is the first time in 28 years that we've had this kind of a derailment with a loss that we've had. >> reporter: while most of the train cars have been relocated to a rail car road some remain at the scene as investigators continue to dig for answers. >> meanwhile an injured amtrak

all 51 passengers and crew members are okay after being evacuated safely. the train was heading to milwaukee from chicago. the fire was put out in less than an hour but caused serious damage. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. the train derailment in philadelphia is leading to heated debate on capitol hill about funding for amtrak. one reporter asked boehner if republicans were to blame for lack of funding. >> are you going to ask? that's a stupid question. they started this yesterday. it's all about funding. it's not about funding. the train was going twice the speed limit. adequate funds were there. no money has been cut from rail safety and the house passed a bill earlier this spring to reauthorize amtrak and authorize a lot of these programs. it's hard for me to imagine that people take the bait on some of

the nonsense that gets spewed around here. >> some democrats criticize republicans on the house appropriations committee for cutting amtrak funding by $252 million exactly one day after the derailment. some republicans say democrats are trying to politicize the tragedy. turning to another incident involving a civilian drone in the white house. yesterday marked the second time in five months the secret service has discovered a drone flying in the vicinity of the building. officials say this one didn't make it over the fence but it did fly to within a block of the grounds coming down just across the street in lafayette square. they briefly went into lock down as a result. the man flying hasn't been identified. he reportedly cooperated with the officer's demands to land it. they say he has been turned over to the u.s. park police which has jurisdiction. here's a look at the drone he was flying at an altitude of

roughly 100 feet. it came after the day they reminded people that flying them in and around washington d.c. is prohibited. they are just turning up in a lot of odd places. it's the latest in a string of high profile security lapses in the nation's capitol. we're going to be asking secretary jay johnson about it later on "morning joe." it has been a rough week for florida former governor jeb bush. his answer about one of his older brother's biggest foreign policy decisions changed once again yesterday. kelly o'donnell reports. >> reporter: in arizona, jeb bush tried to clean up a political mess of his own making. >> knowing what we know now, what would you have done? i would not have engaged and gone into iraq. >> but that's a huge flip from what he said on monday.

>> knowing what we know now, would you have authorized the invasion? >> i would have and so would have hillary clinton. >> reporter: saying he misinterpreted the question, he tried again tuesday. >> so in other words, in 20/20 hindsight, you would make a different decision. >> yeah. i don't know what it would have been. but the simple fact is mistakes were made. >> reporter: republican rivals seized on his waivering. >> knowing what we know now, would you have authorized the invasion of iraq? >> of course not. >> i don't think you can honestly say that if we knew then there was no wmd, that the country should have gone to not. >> reporter: fair or not, he admits he is reluctant to criticize the former president. even when he disagrees. after a shaky week where he tried to choose his words

press to see if we can poke around at it when you see two close allies who have a disagreement on a policy issue but there are a whole budge ofnch of some of my best friends in the senate and some of my earliest supporters who disagree with me on this. these are folks whose values are completely aligned with mine. i noticed there was sort of a progressive statement of principles about what it means to be a progressive by some of these friends of mine, and i noted that it was basically my agenda except for trade. that's the one area where it was a significant difference. >> the president also applauded the senate for advancing a bill in that chamber that would give the administration so-called fast track authority, effectively allowing a trade deal to be passed with an up and

down vote, however without amendments. elsewhere in the world of politics hillary clinton is on her way back to iowa and new hampshire next week. these are her second visits for more small setting events. the publisher of the controversial book clinton cash says seven or eight passages have been removed or edits for inaccuracies. the book is critical of the clint tons was released days ago. a new poll of kentucky voters shows clinton running neck and neck with rand paul. they haven't gone for a democrat since 1996 when he was carried by her husband. let's go to wall street. the s&p closed at 2121 points. the dow surged almost 192 points.
