federal investigators are on the way here now. this is the most deadly accident ever on this railroad. you can see the burned out car behind me. there were more than 600 passengers on board as it slammed into a car stuck on the tracks. a twisted heap of metal and glass is all that remains after it collided with a commuter train from new york city bound for the northern suburbs. as the commuter train traveled north, a black jeep drove on to the tracks and the crossing gates came down and the drive got out to look for damage. she got back in and tried to drive off, but was stuck when the train hit her. the train pushed the suv more than a football field, causing the vehicle to explode in flame and the front car also caught fire and pierced by the third rail. the driver of the suv was kill and so were six passengers aboard the train as the smoke spread through the cars and

passengers scrambled to get out. >> i cut my hand and i bashed the glass and we started climbing off. >> people tried to help those in the front car. >> we couldn't get the door open. we were trying to blake the glass to no avail. people in the head car got out and maybe they broke the window or something. >> most rescued themselves and tweeting have now left scene and just top the go home and hug wife and kids. you never know what tomorrow will bring, folks. the last crash was december 2013 when a speeding train cama off the rails on a curb killing four. it was blamed on an engineer with a sleeping disorder. andrew cuomo spoke at the scene of this crash. >> it's a painful reminder how precious life is and sometimes how random it can be. >> as emergency crews worked into the early morning, their

lights cast shadows among the grave stones of a cemetery. a fresh tragedy with few answers. governor cuomo said given what he saw last night and the devastation, he is surprised there were not more casualties. this is a train that has come under scrutiny from investigators. they had several accidents over the last few years. >> thank you. debra is the president and ceo of the council and chair of the ntsb. they are beginning their investigation. what is first on the list at the scene? >> they will arrive and begin to gather the perishable evidence and focus on things that might go away in time. they will be gathering recorders and video that might be in the vicinity and talking to eyewitnesss. >> tell me more about the recorders. what will they learn when they

start to go through the images. >> with the recorders, generally what they have is recorders that will identify speed and direction and throttle position and braking. if bells or whistles were put off. we might be looking for video, any video footage that might exist at or near the crossing or on board the locomotive. there is a lot of people in the vicinity and we might have witnesses who provide video to the investigative team. >> the fact that that electrified third rail pierced the first car, how far devastation could that have done all by itself? >> we have to look at the mechanics of the crash, certainly the fire was a huge factor when it comes to the time that the passengers had to evacuate. you want to identify all of the causes of accident damage to have more robust and better

crash worthy train cars in the future. >> we are not sure what happened to the jeep cherokee but you get to a crossing of a train and you see the lights what do you do? >> you have got to stop and give plenty of time. we see about 2,000 crashes every year that result in about 250 fatalities. this happens too often and unfortunately if cars get on the tracks and the gates come down it's a very dangerous position to be in. you want to make sure before you enter a crossing that you can completely clear the tracks on the other side when there is traffic in the roadway, you have to pay special attention. >> good advice there. thank you very much. >> a devastating passenger plane accident overseas captured on video. watch this. a transasia airways jet plunging into a river in taiwan overnight, triggering a major rescue operation of course.

ian, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, sa van a. the latest we hear from taiwan aviation officials is that 23 people are now confirmed dead and 20 still missing. the aircraft wheeling into a taipai river this morning. >> this dash cam video appears to show the last moments of the flight. the character clipping the roadway before crashing in the shallow river below. emergency rescue converged on the partially submerged fuselage and 58 passengers and crew trapped below. debris was scattered nearby. one of the first to be pulled from the plane was a small child, one of two believed to be on board. the 72 turboprop was only nine months old. 31 mainland chinese were among the passengers and it just took off from one of two airports on a short domestic flight.

the airplane lost contact in what had been a stormy morning, but it had been clear at the time of take off. local television showed the damage to the overpass. the aircraft appeared to barely miss nearby apartment buildings and it's not clear whether the pilot pilot deliberately steered it into the river to avoid further disaster. this was the second disaster in six months. another crash last july killing 48 people. it's dark now, evening time in taipai and the search is continuing for survivors under floodlights. the river is shallow so they have found the black boxes which should enable them to determine what did go wrong. back to you. >> all right, ian williams. that's just terrifying. thank you very much. >> isis followed through on the threats to murder a captured

jordanian pile at. jordan responded by executing two prisoners by releasing a convicted terrorist isis did demanded. richard? >> reporter: the jordanian king abdullah who cut short his visit to washington returned to his home country. the jordanian king is a close u.s. ally in jordan and across the muslim world, there were condemn nations of isis and revulsion of the brutality. crowds of supporters gathered in imam to welcome home their king and demand he exact revenge. before sunrise jordan executed two militant who is had been on death row, including this woman who isis was trying to trade for the life of the jordanian pilot. the 26-year-old 50 lieutenant

captured when he ejected from his f-16 on christmas eve on a mission in the u.s.-led war. yesterday isis released this video shocking even by its own standards with images of the pilot being burned alive in a page. president obama who met with the king after the video was released promised action. >> i think we will redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of the global coalition to make sure they are degraded and ultimately defeated. >> across jordan there is no disgust and anger over the fate of the fallen pilot. they are murderers, said the pilot's father. they do not understand human or international law or that of prisoners. i asked them that avenge the blood of our homeland. they threatened up to four more

radicals and promised to deliver an earth-shaking response presumably renewed air strikes. there is growing concern for the last known american hostage, a 26-year-old woman working for an aid organization to help syrian refugees. atfamily's request we are not releasing the name or the charity that aide was work for, but a potentially positive note that i have not meat any videos they have made of the american hostage or made known demands. savannah? >> thank you very much. let's go to mike who served under the national terrorism center and now the expectative vice president working with the federal government on national security matters. i have to say this. is it possible to overstate how

gruesome savage and gruel this video is. i hate to give it more attention except to ask the question what is behind taking this level of barry:ity to the next level. what are they trying to do? barry: it is helping the u.s. and countries like jordan take the fight to isis. isis's main enemy is the west but alongside and worst are regimes like king abdullah's in jordan. this is muslims fighting against muslims and that's horrific. he is a sham leader. they hope to fracture this coalition and think they will end up doing the opposite. >> how does this play in? you mention their involvement in the u.s.-led coalition has been controversial. not everyone supported it. do you think seeing what happened to their national hero this pilot might double their resolve? >> absolutely. there was a minority starting to

oppose jordan's involvement and it was exactly the opposite. jordan would be more committed and think this will make sure that the u.s. stays firmly behind jordan that needs military and financial support to face what's going on in syria and iraq. >> we talked about the american woman currently being held. the president in our interview said everything is being done to try to help her, but to put it into perspective, how limited the options are. >> it is so hard. we had great success with bin laden and other missions, but this is difficult. we had few friends on the ground and even for our operator this is a mighty task. >> it is a dark day indeed. thank you very much. >> we have new developments on the boston bombing case. >> defense attorneys in the boston marathon bombing trial have not given up on trying to get a judge to move the trial out of massachusetts. they asked for jury selection to be suspended. his lawyer argued that it's

clear that many people already believe their client is guilty. it is the defense's team's third motion to relocate the trial. a breakthrough may be on the horizon for patient who is suffer from an aggressive type of breast cancer known as triple thegative. researchers in jacksonville plan to begin clinical trials for a vaccine that may prevent the disease from coming back after the patient has been treated. it strikes 15 to 20% of breast cancer patients. unlike many other forms, it cannot be treated with estrogen blockers. the coast guard braved frigid conditions to save a log out of an icy channel. the labrador happened to fall in and rescuers saw it happen and then they jumped into action. the dog was about 200 feet into the channel covered in lose ice. the lab was not wearing a collar but the owners were

this is jim. a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal.

plus, with no known dietary restrictions jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don't stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. 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. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center

grandson of the hilton billionaire conrad hilton. he was flying home from greece through london. he threatened to kill crew members and suggesting his wealthy father would pay to get him out of any trouble he would be in. coming out of court, 20-year-old conrad hilton, the brother of paris hilton went on a profanity-raid tirade on a british airways flight refusing to stay seated purchasing a bulk head and threatening to kill crew members. in a complaint, fbi agents claimed he told a flight attendant i am going to kill you. when a copilot tried to calm him down they threatened him. if you want to square up to me i will fight you. they claim he smoked cigarette and marijuana in a lavatoryy and claimed to be angry over a recent break up. he said my father will pay this

out. dad paid $300,000 last time. >> he is the baby of the family. you constantly hear about paris and barron in the headlines. a lot of people don't know about conrad but he had several brushes with the law. >> fearing hilton would be violent, they used restraints and blankets to keep him in his seat. it's the kind of incident flight attendants dread. >> there is noplace to go. the airplanes are fuller than ever. we can't call for the police. >> hilton admitted he had threatened crew members. he denied drinking alcohol, but did take a sleeping pill before boarding the thrill to los angeles. the former airline captain, john cox. >> it transitions to being a breech of federal law and at that point the law enforcement agency is formally the fbi. they pick it up from there. >> we reached out to hilton's

attorney and have not heard back. his attorney said he had an adverse reaction to sleeping medication. the penalty to interfering with a flight crew $25,000 per offense. every time he threatened somebody and up to 20 years in prison. he was released on $100,000 bond and told him to get mental health treatment and drug and alcohol treatment. >> thanks very much. >> a check of the weather from mr. roker. well we are getting ready for another arctic outbreak. i saw dylan dryer in the office yesterday. she was ready to go and she is in chilly, minneapolis, min. >> did you have anything to do with that? >> i tried to keep you home.

>> you did say that. i will give you credit for that. it is 10 degrees right now in minneapolis, but that is the average low for this time of year. here's the thing. we are only warming up to 14 this afternoon 4 degrees from now, 15 degrees below average for a high. the arctic air will bottom out below zero thursday and the coldest air into the northeast by friday with wind chills about 20 to 30 degrees below zero. this is coming as we are still digging out from the snow. chicago saw more snow yesterday as a quick clipper moved through heavy at times. once again made driving difficult. in pittsburgh they treated the icy streets and slit on them. he had to be rescued as the truck rolled over. he was taken to the hospital and released in good condition. in boston everything is covered in snow. there was a city-wide gridlock

because the snow is covering the streets and police say the commute took three times longer than normal. the snow certainly an issue. what we could use is a nice long stretch of warm temperatures to melt the snow and thaw out, but unfortunately that's not in the forecast. >> thanks so much. stay warm and we will check with you later. the arctic air will push south. minneapolis is 14. 22 in chicago and 30 in columbia. these temperatures will be dropping. tomorrow morning, detroit is 1 and pittsburgh is 17 and 6 in indianapolis. we get to friday and it's worse. it will be 5 below in boston and 3 in pittsburgh. i know you are looking for good news. you want good news? remember we were talking about the low pressure. the american model again, baby. yeah! that front pushes it off and we don't see the snow!

train car, you can imagine the terror when it slammed into the suv about a football field away and pushed it down the tracks and the suv exploded and that's why you have the burned out train car. maybe you have seen it. a car trying to beat the gates before the trains come. something else you may see is a car getting stuck on the tracks at the exact wrong moment and stalling out or worse yet, the gate is not working properly at all. it happens more often than you think with the crashes caught on tape. right now officials are investigating the deadly crash in upstate new york trying to figure out what went wrong. >> there was a loud bam and once we jumped off on the side there was another explosion. >> it happened before. check out this dramatic video from inside a train crash just outside of orlando last may. that demolished a new sports

coupe. the car stalled on a railroad crossing just before the gates came down. the driver got out with seconds to spare. just last month in houston, a mother father and six children escaped when this freight train struck the car and another at a crossing. officers say the conductor sounded the horn several times, but the two cars didn't move in time. in glendale california an suv stuck on the tracks caused this commuter train to derail righting trains on both side of it and killing 11 people. >> i came off the chair and i was tumbling in the aisle way. >> according to the federal railroad administration more than 230 people were killed in nearly 2100 collisions. vehicles stopped on the tracks from mechanical failures to intentional thrill seeking. what if you get stuck on the

tracks. you should be aware that trains cannot stop quickly. don't expect them to stop on a dime. get everyone out and immediately off the tracks. leave your possessions in the car. don't take anything with you and once you are out, experts say you should run towards the direction of the on coming train off to the side. it may seem counter intuitive, but you are running away from the collision site and flying debris from your car. back to the site of the accident investigators are o arriving on the scene from the ntsb. one of the first questions will be as we heard earlier, to figure out why this suv was on the tracks and was the crossing working properly. it will be a key question in the investigation. >> so many questions right now. thank you. >> coming up we will do trending and talk about the congressman who just gave his
