look at st. louis, they feel like zero and louisville feels like 4. so earlier our high temperatures were made 42 new york boston was above freezing. but here we go. the old temperature tumble the freefall into this, the windchill by tomorrow morning will be 4 below in new york city. it'll only feel like 6 in d.c. another storm to talking about coming up for the weekend and workweek. i know you can't wait to hear it. >> it's a good thing you're so cute. okay guys the latest on that train crash that killed six people. when it slammed into an suv. we're learning more about the victims including the mother of three who was driving the suv and linsey davis is on the scene in valhalla new york. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good news to report. the train's engineer is out of the hospital and already starting to see morning commuters after working all night to remove the train and rebuild the tracks the trains are now starting to pass through this area again.

imagine is she was trying to make it the other side. >> reporter: but it's barreling down the tracks at 58 miles an hour. just at that moment the suv tries to cross but the gate comes down stopping it. the train unable to slow down keeps coming. >> report of an explosion on the tracks. >> reporter: the train pushes her suv a thousand feet bursting into flames. take a closer look. that's the electrified third rail torn from the ground impaling the train if we have somebody that's looking at the rail traffic signals, the highway traffic signals, as well as the crossing gates. >> multiple injuries. trying to ex-tri cal everybody down there. >> reporter: wabc learning the train's engineer steven smalls rescued several passengers from the burning train after the collision. this after he tried in vain to stop the train before it hit an suv aplying full brakes before

clair declaring an emergency but it was too late. one major focus of the ntsb investigation that third rail. it's constructed in a way that once it comes off the track it should no longer be electrified. was that the case here? they're also going to look into the strength of the cars and why they were able to be penetrated. robin. >> linsey thank you. now to that tragic plane crash. at least 31 people killed when a transasia plane went down just after takeoff. we're learning more this morning about what went wrong and abc's david kerley is at miami international with the latest on that for us. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this morning the search is on for the missing 43 suspected to have died in the crash but as you mentioned we are learning more about what happened this morning. this morning, even more evidence of what happened at that terrifying end of this flight. these three dash cam shots of the crash, the black box information which should be released soon and now firsthand

accounts. "i felt something was not right after the plane took off" this 72-year-old surviving passenger said. he told the woman next to him to hold on as the plane went down. i saw others were drowning. if i did not move quickly enough to help them soon they would have been dead. this 2-year-old child survived and the parents as well with the mother calling out as the baby is being cradled, don't be afraid we're safe now. it was pulled from the river, the fuselage but victims missing hamish macdonald is on the scene. >> you can see part of the plane being dragged up now by the soldiers the dive team is down by the water's edge and every now and again they bring up another chunk of the plane and they'll be here long into the night. >> reporter: it was just after takeoff that the pilot of the nearly brand-new turboprop plane radioed engine trouble. >> mayday mayday engine flame out. >> reporter: the video frame by

frame includes clues. steve ganyard is a crash investigator. >> they're looking to clear the obstacles and not run into the apartment buildings. it is out of control and the right engine is spinning but the left appears to be feathered and a wing hit the taxi and bridge and shears off. >> reporter: we learned the pilot and co-pilot along with a third pilot in the cockpit are all among the dead. now, taipei's mayor is calling that pilot a hero. the data from the black boxes could confirm that and the taiwanese are telling us we'll get that information from the black boxes very soon. george. >> okay david, thanks. we'll move to the war on isis. jordan a key u.s. ally in the fight is vowing to crush the terror group after its pilot was burned alive. so will this be thetying point in the battle against radical islam. martha raddatz has the latest. king abdullah and his country have been galvanized by this atrocity. >> reporter: they truly have. the king has been meeting this

morning with the pilot's family paying his respects. the king has vowed that lieutenant kasasbeh's death, a man he called a martyred hero will not be in vain and promising a harsh response but we are learning this morning jordan will be flying additional missions in syria and iraq to go after isis. jordanian state tv is now reporting that jordanian jets have just returned from a mission and that the fighter jets are flying low over iman and the pilot's hometown but a u.s. official told abc news that while jordan is galvanized around the king there are fears in the coming weeks the support may waiver. >> there had been wavering support of the u.s. ally and united arab emirates had suspended flights after that pilot was taken. >> reporter: they did stop flying missions after he was captured feeling the rescued aircraft was too far away.

that will be remedied soon with the u.s. now putting search and rescue in northern iraq but the u.s. says that would not have helped kasasbeh because he had been seized so quickly by isis george. >> martha raddatz, thanks very much. now to amy with today's other top stories. we begin with a massive data breach at one of the nation's biggest health insurers. overnight anthem confirming it was the victim of a cyberattack. the personal information of up to 80 million customers and employees compromised. abc's pierre thomas joins us now with all of the details. pierre good morning. >> reporter: good morning, amy. this is a massive breach one of the biggest ever affecting a health care company. here's why millions of those anthem customers have good reason to be concerned. the hackers stole dates of birth, social security number home addresses, details about employment all the kinds of information that could be used in identity theft. law enforcement sources tell me once this data is stolen by hackers they often sell it to criminals on the black market. there is a huge underground market for exactly this kind of

information. so that criminals can assume the identities of innocent people so now customers have to be on alert working with credit monitoring companies to make sure their information is not being used to steal. what a pain amy. >> what a pain indeed. pierre thanks. to a school shooting in maryland. two teenagers shot and wounded during a basketball game. it happened outside frederick high school while hundreds of students were attending the game inside. the sound of gunfire sent them running for cover. it's unclear what sparked the shooting. no arrests have been reported. a dramatic plane crash in lubbock, texas, a single engine plane was coming in for a landing when it sliced a television tower in half killing the pilot and knocking out power in the area. visibility does not appear to be a factor. a new report says vladimir putin may suffer from asperger's syndrome a form of autism. researchers who studied putin's behavior and facial expressions believe he has the disorder which affecting decision-making

helmet. the snow rippling and breaking up and then the avalanche. the camera catching it all. he's covered and thrown around but here's the best part because there he is under the snow right there. look at the pictures of him afterwards, save and smiling. that smile says relief like whew so we're glad he's all good and got to see incredible footage. >> thanks for that. >> and the camera stayed intact. >> yes, it did. >> wow. >> all right, amy, thank you. now to the growing measles outbreak. an alarming new report revealing dangerously high numbers of preschoolers are not vaccinated in 17 states. health officials say that puts all children at risk and abc's dr. richard besser has the latest. good morning, rich. >> good morning, robin. there are now 102 cases of measles in 14 states and the numbers in california are rising the most. some of those infections are even occurring in children whose parents tried to protect them by getting them vaccinated on time.

this morning, with fears over the measles outbreak growing, officials in los angeles county are calling for tougher laws to stop people from refusing to get the measles vaccine. >> i encourage everyone in a position to influence decisions about vaccination to review the evidence. >> reporter: 19 states still allow parents to opt out of vaccine requirements for philosophical reasons and a new study finds in 17 states fewer than 90% of preschoolers get the measles vaccination. the numbers alarming. especially with 102 cases of measles across the u.s. california experiencing its largest measles outbreak in more than 15 years. in one confirmed case an infant at a child care center at santa monica high school exposed dozens of other babies. now all are in quarantine. the superintendent of the school district warning in a letter wednesday when the center re-opens all parents must show proof of protection from the measles. >> the message is that vaccine

is the best way to protect against the current outbreak. >> but in some cases even the vaccines may not be enough. 95% of children are protected by just of the two recommended measles shots. but christie mullins fears her 16-month-old daughter may be infected already despite getting the first dose. >> she was really sick and had a fever of 102 and doesn't get sick. >> reporter: doctors tested her for measles. the mullens, nervously awaiting the results. >> and, rich even if your child is vaccinated you need to know what's going on in their school. >> some data is phitening. schools where 30% to 40% of the children are not vaccinated against measles and that puts even those children who are vaccinated at some level of risk. >> when you look at the number, if you said 100 people if they are vaccinated and are exposed to measles, only 1 out of the 100. if 100 are not vaccinated --

>> 90. this is one of the best vaccines we have so her story is rare. but there is some level of risk there. if you don't get vaccinated 90 out of 100 will get it. fully vaccinated. 1 out of 100 will get it. >> you're going to be back on twitter all morning. >> answering your questions. >> thanks. >> you know i'm going to take it from you. you know a lot of people out there doing like this with their eyes because we showed you that polar bear on the streets of london that have so many doing a double take and it looks so real but it's just a very life-like puppet and abc's lama hasan has more on why it's on the loose. >> reporter: in life you never know what's going to creep up on you so what do you do when you come face-to-face with a terrifying eight-foot polar bear. hold on folks. no need to panic. there is more to this ferocious predator than meets the eye. he may walk like a bear even talk like a bear. but ralph, yes, that's right,

his name is ralph is actually two guys called tom and derek in a 44-pound fur coat. >> when i'm in there, when i'm doing little snips and senatorsnorts like a bear it's very un digdignify undignified. >> reporter: with 19 months of work and 120 square feet of fur ralph was created by the uk network sky to promote its new arctic crime thriller "fortitude" set to air in the u.s. >> we start with the concept which is two guys puppeteering a creature. >> reporter: and who doesn't love puppets from the stage show "war horse" to the super bowl. >> when you're making these things you really don't know until at the end if it's going to work. >> reporter: now ralph has become something of a superstar himself. a track attracting a curious crowd. >> he's pretty much conquered

the world already. >> reporter: lock your doors. ralph could be coming to a town near you. for "good morning america," lama hasan, abc news london. >> polar bear the perfect way to say welcome back ginger the trip to iceland. how did it look. >> we flew in on a chopper over it and we were close. i mean i was like wow, we are not in america when you can fly that close. >> you could feel the heat when you were in the helicopter and you can feel that rush of heat. the lava was so beautiful, it was almost
