hours since that deadly and violent derailment. the ntsb says it is making progress. all but two of the cars have been taken from the tracks and replacement tracks have been brought in to start replacing the busiest corridor for amtrak in the united states. we have also learned more about two of the victims. justin zemser a naval academy midshipman from new york and only child. and we're hearing about jim gaines with the associated pretty. and they've gotten a preliminary look at the black boxes. adam tuss has been here since 3:30 in the morning. they went right to the point. right to the speed issue. >> speed clearly was the main issue here in this case. we were talking about all night last night. this morning, speed, 106 miles an hour. that's how fast this train was going as it approached a curve. then as the train engineer saw

the curve, he applied the emergency brake. that's when the shuddering started to happen and all the rail cars then actually derailed at that curve. let's show you the video of what the ntsb has been up to. they have been on the tracks taking a look at every little piece of information that they can. taking a look at the wheels. the outside of the rail car. some of the rail cars an absolute mangled mess. we heard the word disastrous use time and time. take a look. >> just moments before the derailment the train was placed into engineer induced braking. this means the engineer applied full emergency brake application. >> reporter: still so many

questions about what happened. the ntsb is making good progress as wendy mentioned and right now, they can actually start to hand over some of the process back to amtrak. amtrak will have to go back in and make repairs to the tracks. we already saw some new rail being shipped in. the wires being restrung so all that has to happen before service can get back up and running. we have a lot of work to do. the ntsb hoping to give another briefing tomorrow. hopefully we have more answers about what happened. obviously when you look at everything going on here the train was going too fast. that's what it really come down to. the train engineers are supposed to know every section of track. this engineer when he saw something wasn't right hit the emergency brake. >> i think this will start a discussion about automating the trains. spending the money for it so we don't have this human error, if that's indeed what this is. this is a sad story that's

been on social media a lot. do you know the name bob guildersleeve? he was traveling to new york and he is missing. his 13-year-old son came to philadelphia. his 13-year-old son with pictures and he has been talking to people here. he is desperate to find his father. so the any way, bob guildersleeve is missing. several are missing but that is one that is especially poignant because of his 13-year-old son. another that hits close to home is justin zemser. he is his mother's only child. and pat collins went to annapolis to talk to some of his friends and see how they are handling this tragedy. >> reporter: he was her son, his mother's pride and joy.

he was on the way to see her and then heart break. justin zemser was an only child. a rising star at the united states naval academy. he had a 4.0 average. he was on leave, on his way home to see his mother in rockaway new york. but that was not to be. >> he was wonderful. absolutely wonderful. everybody looked up to my son. and there is no other words i can say. >> reporter: here's justin zemser with his mom at a football game. he played wide receiver on the football team which competes in a light weight varsity league. zack johnson is the quarterback on that team. he says he'll deeply miss his friend and teammate. >> he was one of my good one of my best friends at the academy. he was a very hard working kid. he will leave a legacy here. he'll be truly missed.

i miss him like a brother. >> reporter: in annapolis at the naval academy, the young men and the young women here aren't just classmates. they're family. as news spread about that crash and the death of justen zemser you could sense the ache in the air. >> we all live together work hard together. we're here for each other. >> i think it is a horrible thing that happened. one train. it is not often that happens. i know a lot of his friends. it is a horrible thing that happens. >> it's sad. my heart goes out to his friends and family. we're all mourning his loss. >> reporter: justin zemser was on a fast track. they say he worked extra hard. because they say he wanted to be a marine. doreen back to you. >> pat collins in annapolis. after seeing the mangled train cars it is hard to imagine what people who survived all that are feeling tonight.

some people were suddenly tossed in the air. others were hit with flying debris. almost all of them still shaken up tonight. news4's shomari stone caught up with a couple of them. he joins us with their stories about how they got out. some of those passengers tell me they felt train speed. some of them say they didn't think anything about it. whereas others say they tell me they knew something was wrong. let me move out of the way. you see over there, that is the crane. at the top of the show wenty rieger was talking about that wreckage. you move down over there, that is a pole. you can see pits bent due to one of the cars. a lot of folks tell me this whole thing took them by surprise. they say it was a terrible ordeal. we'll now hear from two of the passengers. >> suddenly i call it a lift-off. we were going around the curve

at what seemed like high speed. the train on a curve. suddenly it starts tilting to the right. the feeling was to me we're lifting off. we're in the air. a sense of uncontrol that i never felt on a train before. >> the chairs on the train were completely disconnected. there were time that i was holding up a train, a chair along with another jafs that was holding up a chair to help get some people through. so it was trying to make best from what you could. >> reporter: those passengers said the same thing. they want to know why this train was speeding. back to you in the studio. >> thank you. the photographs from that scene make it clear just how destructive that crash was. images and videos from social media played a huge role in telling the story. as just about every other big

story in today's world. you can see a gallery of some of the most dramatic pictures in our nbc washington app. >> we know the ripple of this has stretched up and down the northeast corridor. a lot of people were stuck at union station in washington. some waited longer than the scheduled duration of their trips just to get started again. >> they said they would make prigss for to us get back to philadelphia. so we got off the train. and then them we had to get luggage. and they said the luggage might take an hour for us to get. >> again, amtrak expects delays and modified train schedules along the northeast corridor to continue through tomorrow at least. >> we continue our coverage of that deadly train derailment. the news4 i-team takes a closer look at which places along the amtrak line still require safety improvements. >> reporter: i'm tom sherwood at union station.

the amtrak derailment has caused a lot of travel plans to change. i'll have the story coming up. and i home you haven't put the jackets away. a very cool morning

it was black. you don't know when you're

tumbling in the dark. >> i'm tipping to the right and after a couple seconds, maybe half a second i realized there's nothing good going to happen here. this train is tipping over. >> amtrak service between philadelphia and new york city has been suspended until further notice. now thousands are scrambling to find other ways to get where they need to be. some are having a very hard time. tom sherwood continues our coverage from union station. a major hub for buses. >> reporter: here at union station many were taken off the trains. they tried to get on buses at the bus station. it was a long and difficult time for some. to scramble for buses was more hectic than normal. lawrence and his wife melissa who started out on the train in

jacksonville florida, had get to off here at 7:00 a.m. a long way from connecticut in their home. >> we kept waiting and standing. that's just how it is. >> they were hopeful at first that another train would come. >> they told us to go to gray hounld and we might have to purchase our own text but not all of us have the money like that. >> passenger with confirm bus tickets ahead of them. he took in it stride. concerned more about the people in that horrible train wreck. >> it is unfortunate what happened. our hearts go out to the families. and it is a stressful situation for everyone. i believe they're trying their best to get us to our destination. >> later the time finally came. they boarded a mega bus for new york and beyond.

that same bus was good news for this lady. she had been train traveling from tennessee to take a child to a broadway show. >> i had an e-mail this morning that said your train has been kansas he told. >> reporter: how did you get ticket for the bus? >> i jumped on the bus and said we have to go. we have tickets tonight. >> reporter: now bus companies are trying to add more buses here to help all the train passengers who need to get somewhere. at union station, tom sherwood. news4. >> thank you. in the wake of the tragedy in philadelphia we would like to know whether you're more concerned about train travel after they crash. you can vote by calling or texting the number on the skroen or vote on the nbc washington facebook and twitter pages. there is tech technology that's spoesed edsupposed to slow

it down. >> it is called positive train control. congress ordered rail lines to install it following the collision between a freight train and a commuter train in california in 2008. it is supposed to slow down a train if another train is in its path or another train is going too fast. according to the federal railroad administration, the technology has been installed in three different corridors, between perryville and wilmington delaware and another between trenton, new jersey and new brunswick, new jersey, and then between new haven connecticut and boston. we're told it has not been installed anywhere in the philadelphia region including the curve where the accident happened today. and the ntsb just mentioned positive train control within the last hour for the first time in its press conference. >> we are very keen on positive

train control. we feel if such a system had been installed in this part of the track this know would not have occurred. >> the big question now is if this section was supposed to get this technology any time in the near future, we are looking into it and we will keep you posted on what we final. news4 i-team. >> thank you. a really serious traffic story developing this evening right here. the icc in montgomery don't has been close in the both directions near new hampshire avenue. a county dump truck hauling asphalt flipped over and crashed. the driver was pinned in the cab. firefighters rescued the driver from the truck. he is now in a hospital. he is said to be in critical condition. some of the westbound lanes reopened just about 5:00. doug is here now with a look at the weather. wow, yesterday it was hot and muggy. today it feels autumnal out there. >> today is the day you roll it

down. maybe not. you can bring the windows up and turn off the a/c. ten days in a row with 80 degrees or above to start off the month of may. that's the second longest streak and second warmest streak we've have seen that early in the season. look at the cloud cover from the north. look at the numbers. only 52 in pittsburgh. 55 state college. 65 in d.c. right now. look to the south. rich monday 73. a little more in the way of sunshine. we have seen sunshine we are warmer. 68 in fredericksburg. 70 degrees in charlottesville. 59 in gaithersburg. that shows you how cool we'll be as we move into the couple hours. we won't see any rain until maybe on saturday. tonight it is all about the

temperatures. 47 fredericksburg a temperature of 42 back toward winchester. open up the win owes and maybe get the jackets on. taking the kids to the school bus and a little on the chilly side. sunny and nice after that cool start. we'll see a high of 65 to 72 degrees. a very nice spring-like afternoon. your weather impact tomorrow travel, dry roads. no problems. out and about, a bright afternoon and a really nice afternoon. thursday evening looking fantastic. friday looking good. 64 by 11:00. all the way to that 71-degree level. this is what we have in the forecast. one day below average.

tomorrow only 71 degrees. 77 on friday. right back above average and then into the warm stuff. 86 degrees on saturday. 88 on sunday. 85 on monday. and the weekend going to be very warm. not just very warm but very warm and humid. the muggy conditions. maybe 92 on sun. unsettled with a lot of cloud cover. maybe some thunder. only a 30 to 40% chance. any storm that do develop could be rather strong. by that i'm talking about very heavy down pours. that's what we'll watch out for. same deal on monday same deal on tuesday. wednesday, still above normal at 77 degrees. i'm jim handly. we have just learned the name of another passenger kill in the derailment yesterday. abid gilani worked for wells fargo. they release ad statement saying our hearts go out to all of

those. we hope to have new information when i join you again in our next half-hour about this latest victim. we continue to follow that deadly train derailment in philadelphia. still, a lot of questions about why that train went off the tracks. we'll tell you how amtrak is responsibling to complaints about how it hand everything. >> reporter: these crews are learning to face danger without

police from all over the country will be gathering. >> in the wake of high profile police shootings, a lot of departments are changing their policing strategies. chris gordon has a look at the new training. >> reporter: all around me you can see visitors from all over the country and around the world gathered here at the memorial in northwest washington for a candlelight vigil tonight to honor the thousands of police officers who died in the line of duty. now tonight, i would like to introduce you to some young police recruits who are learning

new techniques to deal with the dangers of their job. these police recruits are practicing keeping dangerous could not frontations from getting out of air traffic control. using alternatives to deadly force, they will serve on 17 local police departments once they complete their training weeks of training here at the northern virginia criminal justice training academy in ashburn. >> unfortunately we've experienced some things nationwide which has cast a shadow on law enforcement. i want to reemphasize the importance of training and addressing those things. they don't fall on deaf ears. >> reporter: the day after these police recruits saw the baltimore riots on tv they came to class and the lesson was how to serve the community while protecting. they. it is called reality based training. the academy focused on the death of freddie gray. the protest looting and the criminal charges against police officers that followed. >> it absolutely galvanized me.

black communities having a reputation in the police department. having a police department that mirrors your population is very important. >> reporter: for this class, ball provides the lesson. the last graduates studied the police involved deaths in ferguson and new york. >> law enforcement throughout is following recent developments and many of the incidents that are getting a lot of scrutiny had to deal with police use of force. >> reporter: these recruits learned that establishing trust in their communities will go a long way toward avoiding confrontations like these. >> every interaction is important and i think making each interaction a positive one is one of the most important things do you know in law enforcement. >> reporter: now tonight's candlelight vigil for fallen heroes begins at 8:00. it is open to the public. we have gathered all the information about police week on

our nbc washington app. you can simply search police week. that's the latest in northwest washington. chris gordon, news4. the chilling calls between first responders moments after the train flew off the tracks. plus the news4 i-team digging

right now, seven people daytona dead after the amtrak crash. >> preliminary data shows that amtrak train 188 was going 106 miles an hour before the engineer slammed on the brake. the train still hurdled off the track. all the cars. that 106 is more than double the speed limit in that area. the national transportation safety board says it has turned the tracks back over to amtrak. the agency expects the investigators will be on site in philadelphia for at least a week. >> at this hour crews are still on the ground. they're picking up the pieces

from the mangled mess of metal there. >> the ntsb says the recorders on the train are heading back to washington for a full investigation. we have wendy rieger in philadelphia. what's happening now? >> reporter: right now, because the sun is starting to set and of course, the ntsb will be here round the clock. we're watching massive flatbed bringing in lights. amtrak is bringing in large generators and massive lights to light this crash site so they can continue to work throughout the night, as you can see it there. two major trucks flat beds. we saw them earlier bringing in some replacement tracks. because this is the busiest corridor in the united states for amtrak. now that the tracks have been turned back over to amtrak and most of the cars almost all the cars have been removed. they are starting to repair this area so they can get northeast corridor up and running again.

it has been a lot of progress for the ntsb so far. i'll bring in transportation reporter adam tuss. speed was the factor in the investigation. >> i think we're starting to learn the bits and pieces of what exactly occurred here last night around 9:30. 106 miles an hour. that's how fast this train was going in a section of track that the train was only posed to be going 50 maybe 60 miles an hour. so basically, the train was going double the speed limit in this area. so what that means is that the investigators need to really talk to the engineer. he was hurt in the incident. but is expected to give a briefing to police and to investigators to really give his first hand perspective. we know that there were video recorders on the front of that train. this is one of amtrak's new locomotives so they can download that information. see what was happening before the actual accident.

there are still many, many questions. what happens next is what the ntsb will be focusing on. >> well, the next few days the investigators will work on scene to thoroughly document the accident site and gather factual information. we will be doing a more detailed documentation of the rail cars and the scene. we plan to interview the train crew and other personnel. we would like to interview passengers of the train. >> reporter: that was an interesting point. the ntsb at 5:15 basically said they hadn't even talked to the engineer yet. he was, there was some discussion about him refusing to cooperate with the ntsb. >> can you do that? >> i would think would you want to cooperate with a federal investigation. that's what we have right now. what's going on. we'll have to see where it leads. >> the other thing is the technology. we have planes that fly

themselves. how come we don't have trains that know when to slow down so we don't have this human error that we've had several times in our disastrous deadly train crashes. not only here but in europe. >> amtrak has a system that allows train to slow down if the signals are reading the tracks ahead occupied. the train should be slowing down. what i'm told in this situation there was a clear signal given ahead. even though train was going that fast and close to a turn. and the only person that could have stopped that train from going that fast was the engineer. and we do know that at some point he hit the full emergency brake and that is when it all started to go wrong. >> that's why they need to talk to him. >> we have been hearing some incredible stories of survival. people who had to crawl out of this mangled wreckage. people helping each other. this virginia woman has a great story to tell. something happened to her during this crash.

she made it out because of the kindness of strangers. >> i was on the third train from the back. someone told me i had been delirious and they carried me off. my shoes are not my shoes. somewhere, i lost my shoes and a lady gave me her shoes. >> that was rebecca bibb. she is from virginia traveling to new york to see her grand children. we saw the lights going in, the tracks going in and they say they'll be here for at least a week. >> there's a lot of work to be done. 37 to pick up the pieces. the rail is coming in. the wires have to be restrung. there is a lot of information that we don't know. >> back to you. >> thanks. some new video and audio are helping us get a better picture of how things were at that

derailment site. >> we are getting our first idea of what the drairmt actually looks like and how first responders reacted. take a look. this is surveillance video from a nearby business. you can see the train speeding by at the top of the screen and then just seconds later sparks light up the night sky as the train runs off the tracks. you can see the bursts of light even better. first responders immediately knew the magnitude of the situation. >> notify amtrak to shut down the entire northeast corridor. we have a major event here. we have people on the tracks -- and a couple of cars overturned. >> the 660-foot long train passed by that surveillance camera in a matter of just five seconds. that's just how fast it was going. >> the ripple effects of last

night's train derailment go well beyond the crash scene itself. the news4 consumer watch talked to one guy who was on the train behind the one that was derailed. his trip unexpectedly ended in philadelphia. he says when he approached customer service, he was told he was on his own to get to new york. >> my ticket says i'm traveling on the expensive high speed train to new york city from washington. >> alex levine rented a car and headed north. amtrak says it is providing ticket refunds to customers but stranded customers have to make their own arrangements for travel. he's been rei will bursted for his return trip ticket but he does to have pay for the rental car out of his own pocket. >> another question being asked is why that train and so many others don't have seatbelts.

tom costello talked about that earlier today. >> there is no national mandate on seatbelts on trains. there is a cost benefit ratio analysis if you will. that's the argument the industry makes. that it doesn't make dollars and cents. like the conversation about the school buses, the issue would come down to would anybody really wear them? >> the federal railroad administration tells us that passenger trains are able to absorb collision energy better than cars and airplanes because of the way they're built. research they say, does not conclusively show that seatbelts make passenger rail cars any safer. >> the investigation into this deadly derailment just getting started. this stretch of tracks has seen tragedy before. we'll tell but the similarities to another deadly crash more than 70 years ago. same spot. >> we're talking about one more

cool day. right back int

two children are recovering after firefighters saved them from a burning house last night. when the firefighters arrived at the house in fairmount heights, they found the kids still inside. they were ages 3 and 6. two adults who had escaped the fire on their own were also taken to a hospital. everyone expected to make a full recovery. that fire apparently started in the kitchen. we're hearing from a young man who was shot overnight along with four other people. one of them died and police are still looking for the gunman. that shooting happened in capital heights. and that victim tells tracee wilkins, he is tired of the violence. >> reporter: many wloep the apartments were torn down the homicides and crime that plagued this second quarter of capitol heights would go with it.

>> i remember when the apartments were open. the. >> reporter: years later after it has all been leveled. >> still drama to this day. >> reporter: it is not changing fast enough. >> just come sit on the porch like this. >> last night reginald brown iii was murdered in the 4700 block of pard road. bullets struck and killed four others who were with him including this 81 man and this man. >> i caught two to the arm. everybody else got hit up. now we have a young man dead. for nothing. >> reporter: friends say brown known as little reggie was the comedian of the group. quick with a smile and a joke. >> he had a big bright smile. like every time i get around him, i have i feel happy. >> reporter: now police are looking for at least one suspect and a motive and answers to what is a bigger problem than what

used to stand in this field. bigger than what happened on this short block of capitol heights. >> they don't matter what they do with this neighborhood or across the country, period. the society we live in today is messed up. prince george's county says they do not believe this was a random act of violence. news4. we're gathering details. we'll tell you why something on capitol hill today is causing even more problems for

we want to bring you up to date on what we know at this moment with the amtrak train. at least seven are dead confirm including a naval academy midshipman. we learn a wells fargo employee abid gilani is also dead. this is video from the ntsb. the investigative agency says train 188 was going 106 miles an hour when the engineer slammed on the emergency brakes just before entering a turn. it only slowed to 102 miles an hour before derailing.

but investigators stress that most of the information is still preliminary. >> the train had recorders. it had forward facing video cameras and an event data recorder. >> we're looking at the track, the train signals, the operation of the train, the mechanical condition of the train, human performance. >> now amtrak is already in the process of removing the cars and repairing the track. service between philly and new york could be suspended through tomorrow. the engineer has refused to give a statement to police but the ntsb said would it still like to speak to him. at the live desk. back to you. >> that thank you. that derailment last night is not the first one in that area of philadelphia. back on september 6, 1943. the congressional limited jumped the rails, about one mile from that wreck last night. it was carrying 541 passengers

including many servicemen on leave. 79 people were killed. 117 were injured. that derailment was blamed on a fire in a wheel and that caused an axle to fall off. for more from information from this tragedy in historiering with invite you to our website. once you're there, search 1943. congress plans to cut the money it spenls not just on amtrak but also on d.c.'s metro system by tens of million of dollars in the wake of last night's disaster in philadelphia and the deadly january incident on metro. we asked the i-team scott mcfarland to look into this. what did you find? >> not only are they considering chopping money to amtrak they made a decision to help do so hours after the derailment. there are congressional leaders. they want to stop spending so much money on the route that

outside the i-95 corridor. this ones through rockville which goes from chicago to d.c. loses about $20 million a year. ridership is so much lower. we found out that amtrak loses $600 million a year on federal routes that are outside that corridor. the northeast. d.c. metro rail meanwhile facing a $50 to $75 million cut. not because of any announced concerns with riot concerns. but a staffer tells us d.c. metro rail already has a large am of upnand pended money. >> this should never happen again. this is something we can get on public transportation and it is safe. >> who would stay right decision for the united states of america to do in 2015 is to continue to cut our investment in our

infrastructure? that's what we're doing? >> it has been seven years sense congress last approved long material money and a long term plan for amtrak. the agency supporters say it has been dangling in uncertainty of it. >> thank you, scott. doug kammerer is in the weather center. we're in for a cool start tomorrow. probably the coolest we've seen some quite some time. we still have that wind blowing. it does make it feel like it will stay on the cool side. the lowest temperature we've seen has been 51 degrees. we'll be right around there as we move into the morning hours tomorrow. right now it is currently sitting at 65. the temperatures will drop. it will be cool stay cool and then even cooler. down to 57 degrees at 11:00. 60 in reston. 64. no report out of bowie.

what do we see? nothing on the radar. a clear night tonight. that means we'll see very cold conditions. 42 in winchester. could some areas see the upper 30s? it's possible. very chilly there. northern virginia another cool spot. 43 manassas. closer to the river, the temperature there around 46. a very cold start. a chilly start for this time of year. a very chilly start for thursday. but warming nicely with plenty of sunshine. it will be below average during the day but not all that bad. looking really, really nice for that extended bike ride. 77 on friday. right back above average. saturday and single temperature well above average by 10 or 15 degrees. the heat index could approach 90 or 92. there could be a chance for some heavy downpours.

saturday sunday monday maybe even tuesday. we have sports coming up. john wall there is still some talk about whether he can play in game five. and the caps. you know the rangers in a game seve

jamie wanted a taste of the real new orleans and we just couldn't say no to that face. then we wanted more of that local flavor so betty says... oh yeah, that's betty. you're going to want to do this alligator thing. and betty didn't lead us wrong. a little later we passed some dancing. and who doesn't like dancing? especially when it's followed by fireworks everyone's nola is different. follow yours.

another great night for d.c. sports. alex ovechkin and the capitals with a game seven win or go home against the rangers. ovi guaranteeing victory. and john wall will he play? wall is a game time decision. so much to get to tonight. are you ready for tonight? why will it be different for the washington capitals? >> reporter: i think it will be a very tough decision. barry trotz told they will guys you've already been in a game seven. you beat the islanders. that's the kind of game they want to replicate tonight against the rangers. but it will be tough. especially in front of this new york crowd. i want to show you these numbers. take a look. the caps have a record of just

4-12 with a chance to close out the series. as for the rangers. they're all pros at this. an impressive 13-3 in elimination games over the last four seasons. that includes two game seven wins over the caps in 2012. and 2013. and you think home ice is important? well the blue shirts perfect. 9-0 in elimination game in the garden during that four-year span. the key for the caps in this game seven, winning the first period. something that has troubled them this series. >> i think we've realized if we just focus what has made us successful and forget about what's going on. just focus on what we can do to be successful. >> just knowing that the last game in the third period. it is hard. that's really it.

we've been through enough game sevens that we know how to come prepared. >> we have to be ready from the start. there's nothing to wait for. this is game seven. you can't wait for something to happen. you have to make something happen. and i think we have to play the same way as we did in the first game seven this year. and if you play like that i think we'll be really, really hard to beat. >> so alex ovechkin hasn't scored in four games but his coach believes that only the is the night. he said these are the kind of game alex ovechkin is made for. live at madison square garden. i'll send it back to you. >> thank you so much. the capitals in a must-win situation. not exactly the case for the wizards but still a critical game. randy whitman said that john wall remains a game time decision. wasn't hasn't played since the first game of the series. they arrived about an hour ago. the team helped practice today

behind the curtain. wall has done some dribbling but he wants to meet with the doctor. he said it is as much mental as physical. >> the swelling went down a lot. still going to be pain there no matter what. and i don't have so much stuff wrapped around my fingers. like in a cast or anything. i have motion to do things that i feel comfortable doing. it is just if i feel comfortable and confident doing it. that's the biggest key. >> let's talk some baseball for a moment. the nats visiting the diamondbacks this afternoon. we'll pick this game up in the seventh. tied 5-5. bryce harper facing oliver perez. harmer checks his swing for strike three. he went though. and bryce does not like it. he gets tossed from the game. matt williams came in to argue as well. he also got tossed.

>> thanks for joining us. a

tonight, the train disaster here in philadelphia. a tragedy on the tracks leaves at least seven dead 200 injured, some in critical condition. the train was going faster than 100 miles an hour. twice the speed limit around a sharp curve. the victims including a navy midshipman a father of two traveling on business. and the survivors describing the horror inside the train. the panic to get out and to pull the injured to safety. also tonight, vanished the frantic search for six american marines on an aid mission in nepal. missing now for more than a day. what happened to that chopper? nightly news begins right now.
