meeting next week. >> we have to understand what really happened and we expect the ntsb to provide that, and amtrak is faulted for not having speed control technology and it could have stopped the overspeeding train and amtrak has since installed such equipment. and much attention is on the engineer, brandon bostian and he has been a rail buff since childhood and passionate about trains. there was no drugs or alcohol in his system. but as of last november bostian could not recall his actions when the train accelerated when it should have been slowing. in addition to the investigation, seth williams is conducting a criminal investigation. attorneys represent a number of crash victim and is critical of bostian. and says this. >> i assume they are waiting for the final ntsb report and i

would not fault them for being deliberative and waiting and making the decision when the evident is in. >> they generated some 2,000 documents in this case, but the consensus is they do not contain a smoking gun. what did the engineer do, at this point he says he cannot recall. >> thank you john. a total of eight people were killed when the train hit the junction curve at 106 miles per hour and 160 people were injured in what was a chaotic scene. chad pradelli has been focusing on those surviving victims today and chad is live at 30th street station. >> reporter: we heard from one of the victim before today's memorial at city hall. in his words life is terrible. it's been a long road to recovery for many of the victim, one filled with pain and

crash, it seemed fast for a ride he had taken dozens of time and then a tipping feeling and then he was airborne. >> i flew out of my seat and hit the ceiling and luggage racks and seats and before i lost consciousness i crashed head-on with another gentlemen. hewitt never found the gentlemen or learned what happened to him and that leaves him with a sense of guilt. >> i wonder, did he live or die? did me hitting him kill him? hurt him? was he dead when he hit me? i don't know. but it bothers me. >> reporter: and coming up tonight at 11:00 you'll hear jerry lynn's story, the most badly injured in 188 and hear from her husband who franticcly searched for his wife for nine
