the trenton station shuttle busing over to west trenton. west trenton regional rail lane will bring new to philadelphia but we have 20 to 30 minute delays yesterday, all of the trains were stacked and pack here. so full capacity is expect or you can drive to the cornwells heights park and ride. that is a good option. this was packed yesterday. you could take the bus over to the frankford transportation center, free shuttle service and pick up market frankford line from there. heading north into north jersey or new york today through weekend, new jersey transit are running training between new york and trenton station. you can use river line and path the co high speed line, into philadelphia. expect jams on the main line, villanova with five separate graduation set for both today and tomorrow, and also the the drexel dragons graduate to go day, kimmel center that one is set for 9:00 a.m. mike and alex, back over to you. lets get them up over to sky fox now because we have very good light at the scene of the train derailment that

and at 9:21 on tuesday night. the these are prefabricated railroad ties with steel rails attached to them. they came in on flood beds. i don't know what part of the country they are made. >> they are laying down those tracks and you can see they have put up gravel along the side. they are working around the clock because ceo of amtrak says they expect to get this line back to full service on tuesday. >> on monday they will have tuesday runs and tuesday it probably on sunday, have limited runs with passengers on board on monday afternoon. >> that is right. >> and then full service by tuesday this will be interesting to watch this to see how they move that one section. it has to be incredibly heavy and snap it into place basically along this track. >> they are working around the clock. earlier they were working on the power lines and now they are focusing back on the

tracks. they are maintenance cars that come and make sure it is all in place. >> you have to measure this perfectly, brand new track. this is interesting too, maybe you have not seen this overnight. got this out of the new york post on a different web sites as well. there are web sites where train personnel go and you can rant, and write blogs and stuff. here's the engineer in question from tuesday night. and, they called it whistle blower because he was talking for years about we need to improve the safety of the tracks all across the country, and i will take this away now, read this top one right here. because he talks about a train derailment, out in california, a few years ago. >> it is the one in los angeles that killed 25 people in 2008. he said it shouldn't take an act of congress to get industry to adopt common sense safety systems on the the road. aim convinced a late 1920's signal system with speed enforcement, is a newer

technology that is only 50 or 60 years old would have complete thely prevented the disaster. >> he wanted that equipment put on curves especially that would automatically slow down trains. he was even calling for it. >> this is a big debate, everybody is talking about positive train control and amtrak ceo came out and they were asking him question, why this was in the put in place. >> why was that train going 106 miles an her when it hit that curve in port richmond and derail. is there steve keeley. die fox still up, steve. >> reporter: amtrak ceo says we were doing that work. we were trying to do it as fast as possible. the obviously we didn't get it all done but we have tonight a lot of spots as we told everybody yesterday. new york times first to point out those on line postings have of this yesterday and then again first today. talk to maybe his closest friend in the world who told us through new york times that safety was his priority. every time i teased him about being lady said better late than on time sometimes but they say he started his

college as an accountant and dreamed of always be a train engineer. he was a train geek. when he became an engineer five years ago the times reports he brought that accountant's focus on detailed rules and avoiding risk. how about that. a iron to this route we have learn for four years, so this curve was nothing new to him. it wasn't a surprise, he had gone around this curve, probably thousands of times. there is not a person in the world who feels as bad about this, as brandon does, a according to his friend and as you pointed out always criticizing lack of safe guard to protect begins human error and he was out of the hospital yesterday, his friend said. he has a concussion and stitches in one of his legs and mike, i heard you mentioning in the the break they want to talk to him but there is probably not much he can tell him because his lawyer has also talk to the media and said he doesn't remember much about the crash at all other than waking up,

hurt, and then looking for his cell phone so he could immediately call 911 to get help for everybody in that crash. that is what we have, as the latest from the engineers point of view because without the act a you'll cause being men for hure other than speed why was the train going that fast, the engineer is taking the brunt of the blame and mayor nutter was asked about his harsh chris is is many because mayor went on national tv on wednesday and said other than a heart attack this guy really has in excuse and we have learned also that front facing camera, in the locomotive cab, locomotive almost brand new less than a year-old we found out yesterday. that video cameras was on a meter and said one minute and five seconds before this train went flying off the track and into that big curve it was going 70 but it seems like instead of hitting arrow button going down to 50 like it is supposed to he hit it going up and then it went faster than 70 just before the

crash.. >> 432nd before, the train speed exceeded 80 miles an hour. thirty-one seconds before the end off the recording, the train speed was going through 90 miles per hour, 16 seconds before the end off the recording, the train speed was going through 100 miles an hour. >> but i don't think that any common sense rational person would think that it was okay to travel at that level of speed knowing that there was pretty significant redistribution on how fast you could go true that turn. so i was being expressive. i know the people in new york don't speak in an expressive fashion but we do.

>> reporter: focus on today's story will be up in long island because first funeral of the eight killed today will be up there and that is for that 20 year-old navy mid ship men justin zemser and we saw his mother on television, first confirmed fatality in this crash. wow, that is a tough day. you can bet a lot of people will go around this coming from annapolis to go to attend that. also yesterday the first lawsuit, of those hurt, already filed, coincidently somebody from philadelphia, bruce phillips, who lives in philadelphia. he is an amtrak dispatcher and works in new york city and he was riding as a passenger in the back. brain trauma, concussion and spinal injuries. we expect lawsuits but didn't expect to hear about one before they had the train back operating, but his lawyer didn't wait, he got first in line. >> that is for sure. >> all right steve, thank you. steve mentioned, the young man 20 years old mid ship man his funeral is today.

karen hepp put together this story on some of the other victims. >> reporter: forty-seven year old lauren filla more a real estate powerhouse and profoundly missed. it is front page news, the the 41 year-old was here on business and just spoke when his father moments before boarding, reportedly a according to the italian consul in philadelphia bob guilder sleeve was the last victim to be found. his body was pulled from the wreckage from the first car this morning. who could forget his brave son mark begging for information about his missing dad yesterday. in addition to mark, the the 45 year-old sales executive leaves behind a wife and daughter. derek griffith a 42 year-old father and dean, doctoral candidate set to graduate from the city university in insuring in just days. abid gillani, 55, senior vice-president of wells fargo from california and married father of two. jim gaines, from new jersey, a video software architect for

over the the years, influenced a generation of guitar players, that is for sure. he brought new fans to the blues, over the the years. it was announced two weeks ago he was in hospice care after suffering from dehydration. he had been very opened about his 20 year struggle with diabetes. bb king, king of the blues was the living of the good long life and died at the the age of 89 yesterday. >> we are looking at some tweet from his musicians and saying, bb king music. >> let's make hure we do. >> have we done that. >> we will. >> we will play some video. >> my brother, michael serio, biggest bb king fan i have every met. loves him. every time he is in the vicinity would see him in concert. now we have the blues today. now philly forecast for today is good night at the ballpark. arizona d backs come to town,

sunday night that we will see any clearing, for monday. temperatures on the cool side. we have 48 in pottstown, allentown, reading, but we are at 56, here in the city and gotten in the mid 50's to the south of us. southerly wind are warming us up more than just yesterday, temperatures in the city, 5 degrees warmer then it was yesterday, but again, if you are in the suburbs you probably will need a sweater, at least if you are outside for a while this morning. we are getting another ten, 75 d more humid over weekend with those pop up showers and then are storms that we just described and then we are back in the 70's on monday and tuesday, of next week. we have a rescheduled kay on wednesday, of spring fling and it will be, in media, delaware county and it looks like we are arranging for a perfect day, bob kelly, for that. >> sound good.

7:17 on this friday morning, live look at blue route, 476, right here near baltimore pike. we are starting to pick up some volume, friday morning rush hour here underway. bennie not bad at all, at least not in jammed solid mode but folks who saw that yesterday, using the the benny, patco high speed line they are single tracking over the bridge here, this morning. that is that special thursday/friday patco high speed line schedule where it is developing 20 minute gaps at times. southbound i-95 heavy from cottman through girard, the schuylkill running slow from conshohocken to city line. keep in mind stotesberry regatta in town, kelly drive closed to vehicle traffic until sunday night. all that extra volume using the schuylkill expressway. through the weekend, it is wilmington grand prix bike race in wilmington with local detours and street closures over next couple of days, radnor hunt taking over malvern all day tomorrow so

philadelphia, i mean, here's the problem, and this is what i find outrageous but i know it is supply and demand. did you see about four or five major airlines have jack uprights from d.c. to insuring because of the amtrak situation. i know, all about adam smith.

i'm lynne abraham. when i became philadelphia's da, child victims had to face a judge ...a jury...the public... and testify eye to eye

with their attackers. it wasn't right. so i got a constitutional amendment passed allowing children to testify remotely. i'm running for mayor for the same reason -- our children should come first. jim kenney and tony williams are fighting over public schools versus charters. i disagree. we have to improve education for all of our children.

i think he looks younger. >> he does look younger. >> my goodness. >> he looks good, too. that is what jacks you up. >> every time i see him, we have a thing now, every time i see jeff coal, and that is how we greet each other, that is what jacks you up. >> he scares the living daylights out of me. such a nice guy.

i know it is supply and demand but every now and then you wish they weren't do stuff like that. >> it just feels wrong. >> free market at a work or price gouging, people feel like the ladder. i did a quick search on expedia and travel o thecity direct flights laguardia to reagan national, $856 to start. >> that is ridiculous. >> on travelo thecity, 735 to start on expedia. >> coach. >> coach. >> it is normally $200, round trip. >> but, you know, i know that delta added flights, american has added flights, others haven't at least that i know of just yet, condition they add flights, yes. can they work on keeping prices, lower, absolutely because train service isn't going to come back until probably tuesday. >> yeah. >> if you need to get to d.c. or vice versa a to new york, you might just want to drive, get a car and just for the the

weekend. it would be cheaper. the this is awfully expensive prices. it is in the wake of the tragedy. >> i'm supposed to go this afternoon. that will be a licensing trip. >> how will you get there. >> i was going to take new jersey transit, get up there to trenton somehow. >> that is not so bad, that is like two hours. >> i can drive to trenton in under an hour, yeah and then get on new jersey transit. >> why are you coming this weekend? >> just to see you. >> are you working here. >> i am not. it is actually somebody's birthday today. >> hey, lauren, thank you. >> have a great weekend. >> you know what i should do ride a bike up to new york. >> today is bike to work day. >> chris, it really is a national holiday, or whatever. >> yes, it is. >> yes, well i don't know fit is national holiday but on a side note, i'll charge you you like 600 bucks to take to you

insuring today. >> drive me for 600 bucks. >> make that money, chris. >> save you a couple hundred bucks. >> and for 1 dollar, you can take one of these indigo bikes for a half april hurry to day. much more on that straight ahead. we will have some fun.

it's a money maker. i mean, i just feel like our children are paying the price

for these high stakes tests and their teachers are stressed out about it. so, teachers aren't benefiting. they're not getting information from these tests that are helpful for teaching. kids aren't benefiting because they don't even know what they got right or wrong. they just know that they feel really bad about it. parents aren't benefitting because i don't get any more information about my child. so the only people that could possibly be benefitting from this are corporations who are making the tests and selling the tests. as teachers, we're on the front lines fighting to give every child the education they deserve. every child in every kind of school. jim kenney is the one we trust to be a mayor for all our kids. jim kenney. he's committed to providing pre-k in philadelphia and he'll work with communities and parents to turn around poor-performing schools. i trust jim kenney. jim kenney. jim kenney. jim kenney. he'll be a mayor for all of philadelphia.

it is friday. it the is our 50th birthday. i just like to say it. >> well, people are waking up and joining us. >> that is right. >> we're excited. >> yes, 50 years. >> fox has always been here at fourth and market, or no. >> where was it before. >> jenkintown. >> started in jenkintown. >> in 65. >> it was different call letters, wasn't it a wt thea thef. >> yes. >> what are we right now. >> wt thexf. >> i always think that is interesting because it should be fx for fox. we get it backward. >> is there another station that has that good we had to switch it. >> we switch it up. >> anyway, lets get to bus stop buddy, he is perpetually eight. >> we will do it later. >> okay. >> i have video from last

station and they will then shuttle bus you up to west trenton and pick up west trenton regional will rail or you can drive to the cornwells heights park and ride right there at 95 and woodhaven road. septa will have shuttle buses to the prank forward transportation center to pick up the market frankford line. going up to new york this weekend, make it the up to trenton, trains, new jersey transit trains will take you in the big apple and get there via new jersey transit river line. patco high speed line in new jersey. definitely a way to get there but just that extra time needed all around the board and coming in and out of the city next couple days, kelly drive close todd vehicle traffic with the stotesberry regatta but no delays at philly international. >> why do we call it stotesberry. >> i'm's in the sure. >> is that a person. >> sue, google please. >> every time you do that she jumps out of the chair. >> all right good what do you think about this yesterday

afternoon, a federal jury cleared six philadelphia, well, they call them the drug cops based on that, and accused of shaking down dealers and stealing their cash, maybe as much as four hundred you this dollars over a few years good federal claimed half dozen members of the elite narcotics union acted a as thugs roughing up allege drug dealers and suspects. they were accused of pocketing drug money, planting evidence and lawyers for the the officers argued the case was weak and that they were not true and it appears the the jury agreed. let me bring in our legal analyst ken rottweiler. >> i was than the in that courtroom. >> but jurors said there was just not enough evidence. >> a lot of people were surprised. i was than the surprised at all. i will tell you why. federal prosecutors based their entire case on 19 drug suspects. so that is where witness testimony came from and one police office their pled guilty previously. when you have to proof a case

beyond a reasonable doubt and you have 19 very witnesses whose credibility is questioned and a police officer who already pled guilty, it is not a great case. that is why they said it is not the a strong case. i mean basically the defense argued these people are liars. police office shore turn against him he lied in 15 prior cases. pretty easy for a lawyer to say he lied 15 times before. he is lying today too. >> not the a strong witness. >> not at all. >> the whole back story was, okay, these six, they were arrested four or 500 people. >> 450 convictions that are being reversed because of these people good they have been reversed. >> yes, 450 cases thrown out. >> wow. >> 450 cases. >> that is 450 people that may be should be in jail. >> possibly, yeah, that would be the argument. >> when you have things like this, police are suspected.

they were suspected of planting evidence, they were suspect of stealing from drug dealers, a lot of things. chances they were involved, with prosecutors because they were a accused would not prosecute the case. >> why did they not set up stinks and stuff. >> they did. >> can they become comes. >> two wanting to back on the force but commissioner ramsey does not want these guys back at all. so the fop, they have all these things with their union. they will try to get back on good you think they have a chance. >> absolutely. >> did you see somebody was in the back of the train dispatch are for amtrak, has already filed a lawsuit. >> yes. >> filed a out yesterday and filing it under the federal employee liability act. he will have his own claim. let me tell you what is interesting. with regard to the passengers on train when you file lawsuits. they are restrict to 200 million-dollar fun, amtrak reform act. it was passed, legislation passed in 1996 that limit

liability to 200 million. of all of these claims exceed 200 million these people will not get just compensation. >> what about the passengers. >> 200 people were hurt. >> correct. >> so if they all went and filed suit. >> yes. >> you have to split it. >> that is important point, mike, 200 million, and important point is this pits victim begins rick tim. so if you and i were both on the train, i would be arguing for this fund that idea serve more money then you. >> i was more hurt. >> no, i was more hurt. it pits victim verse victim. that is why this type of legislation which is basically tort reform is totally unfair because it punishes the victims here. >> we will talk more about this over the next few weeks. >> yes. >> ken, have a great weekend. >> thank you. >> stupid, stupid question, house speaker john boehner lashes out at a reporter, what he was asked about the the got him so mad. and it is our 50th

anniversary, so, this is a lovely lady, she's turning 50 june 11th and wow. >> happy birthday. >> wow. if you know anyone turning 50, send us their picture we want you to celebrate with us, use hash tag fox 29 is 50. >> i love her hash tag cancun.

i want to be the little boy. >> that would be great. >> you should be the little boy. who should i be then. >> there is a little girl toward the end where she cries, she lays down, she lays her head down and starts crying. they are all supposed to go to sleep. >> she doesn't want to go to sleepy think i can be her. >> what should we do. no, let's see. >> okay. >> go to our web site, click on the picture or something like that. >> yes. >> and then we will do it. >> that is fine. >> i will tell you this, on a personal selfish note if i get to 50,000 followers on twitter today, i will recreate. >> we cannot use this as an opportunity to get the more followers. you have 50,000 and i have like 12 and. >> hold on, fish face, i am at 47,000, how do i need. >> 3,000 mike. >> yes, you are great with math. >> but you know what i want to do though, we will turn back the the hand of time and we

this young lady, she is a member of pal, and anyway, we had a duke university player who won a national championship, he was a member of the pal and mentored by police officer named cedric jones, for ten years and he helped make the decision to go to duke abe he won a national championship. he was there. how it changes their lives. now, get this, in all of the years we have done this dinner. i don't know why i stood up. >> you are excited. >> record breaking numbers. i went back to the live auction. we raised over a million-dollar last night. >> that is so great. >> yes. >> i ran into someone last night who said they were at the dinner. they said you did a wonderful job, great night. >> well, it is easy to do good it is fun. >> well, can i show a picture here. i ran into this guy at dell frisco's after the the event. i should have gotten home but i went to dell friscos.

>> i ran into big rub,e, look at the different styles they are using, that philly bike share. >> it is national ride your bike to work day. >> yes. >> a little bike inspiration. >> christmas traveled down the the street here in olde city and he will get on a bike. >> i am going to get on a bike. it is the city of bicycle love, philadelphia, in honor of national bike to work day. should i get on one of these? no helmet and flip-flops, i think we will go to have it after a quick break, guys.

i'm lynne abraham. when i became philadelphia's da, child victims had to face a judge ...a jury...the public... and testify eye to eye with their attackers. it wasn't right. so i got a constitutional amendment passed allowing children to testify remotely. i'm running for mayor for the same reason -- our children should come first. jim kenney and tony williams are fighting over

and people cannot figure out how to get this. >> why wasn't it a buck for chris murphy. it could be just chris. can you find out why it is not a dollar. >> you need to fit it in. >> he deserves it. >> i saw this report out of the new york times that if you own a dog, i could catch one too that your blood pressure will go down. >> so having a dog just helps you live a longer life. >> yes. >> i will get one. >> i don't have one.

so, i saw this study, that talks about how to get your blood pressure to go down.

there is a couple of ideas. the get a dog, and get some hand grips. >> um-hmm. >> doctor mike, explain this. >> what does a hand grip have have to do with your blood pressure. >> it is more predicting of whether you live or die then your systolic blood pressure. >> what? >> let the me see those. >> let's see. >> no, one hand. >> i have to get tonight my hand here. >> that is not good. >> michael, you try. >> i have strength. >> look at you, muscle man. >> i will do it with my mouth. >> no. >> how about the thigh master. >> doctor mike, how does this help you live longer. >> they did a study of 150,000 adults, age 35, to 70, and they found that the amount of strength you had in this grip allows to you predict when you have have died, from a heart

attack or everything else. so if you have a good, strong, wrist grip, you have a low risk of dying. it was more correlated, it was more accurate then systolic blood pressure. >> you got days. >> i will not be here long. >> you need to see me later tell my parents i love them. >> the researchers, don't really know exactly why, but it had has to do with muscle strength and muscle strength is associated with longevity. >> next time i go to the doctor to see you, you will pull this out. >> what is interesting is you might find this becoming part of a screening test, to see where you are. we have other ways of predicting, we have a wrist calculate or to see what your risk of having a heart attack is over the next ten years but this is simple, easy and something you can do at a store. >> just go back and get a dog. >> yes, right. >> sure good pets actually,

improve your health. it has been studied. unless you take them for walks and they run around and over a curb and older person and you can break something. i have so many people with broken bones because their little dog, takes them over a curb. but overall having a pet will allow to you live longer. people ask me all the time. >> me too. >> yes. >> well, number one comment from women, you know, aren't you engaged. >> what do you say. >> oh, yeah. >> so, when you are married you will live longer too. >> grip strength, dog, marriage. >> it has to be a good happy marriage. >> because it brings you happiness good yes, someone that loves and cares you. even more than me. >> i would rather die early.

>> you know, i work on finding a new doctor. i started to go with you. i'm worried about my health. i went to see you. you need some blood work done. i went to get it done, i got the strength to come. >> little. >> look at all those bottles, are you a vampire. >> listen. >> let me explain this. >> i was light headed i had to carry myself out of there. >> anybody who knows me, know i'm a king of all tests. >> look at those vials of blood. >> i want to make sure you live a long life. i want to know you inside and out. >> there is nothing left in me. >> oh, baby. >> now she's anemic. >> i love it. >> i love you both. >> take care. >> it is friday, may 15th, 2015. >> reporter: with the last of the missing, recovery work and victims done, now repair work

everybody. 8:00 another owe one. backup on the bennie coming into downtown all that extra volume on a friday morning because of the amtrak situation. here's a live look at the schuylkill expressway, at girard avenue. ready sue, stotesberry regatta, kelly drive hut down through sunday. now what was your research. i know you have been working over there frantically of the history here. >> very prominent philadelphia, at the time, in the 1920's this regot, first race was 1927. >> wow. >> it was the stotesberry cup it was name for edward t stotesberry, a prominent partner at jc morgan and company. >> you are right, it the is the oldest, high school regatta in the world and it is here, in our fair city. kelly drive closed through sunday night. the here's run down for mass transit. amtrak services suspended new york to philadelphia same deal, if you can make it to

the trenton station, new jersey transit, using shuttle buses to the west trent than line from there septa beefed up services on the the west trenton regional rail line. all of the trains were stacked and pack and we saw 20 to 30 minute delays towards the end of the rush hour or if you want to use a car, drive to the cornwells heights parking lot at 95 and woodhaven road. septa a using shuttle buses over to the frankford transportation center and from there the the market frankford line will bring new to downtown. if you are going to north jersey use the the patco high speed line, into south jersey, from there the the river line will take you up to the trenton station and from there new jersey transit the will get you up to new york, mike and alex, back over to you. >> i know sky fox is backup but lets get out to steve with more details coming out hour by hour about that derailment tuesday night. >> and also about the engineer, willing to talk with investigators. >> hi, steve. >> reporter: right here, the which is also from a new jersey transit commuter train that just went by, bob was

doing traffic telling people how to detour around this especially if you air rail commuter. real close. it must be the next track over we thought all of the tracks that septa and new jersey transit shared with amtrak and then we saucon rail freight lines running through here but little surprise to see passenger train running right next to the workers there. probably the electricity is running back a along these tracks and i'm sure these workers know where to step and what they are doing but that is progress, at one way or another, no amtrak trains yet but they promise limited service, monday morning for the commute. we will see about that full service, they promised on tuesday, and meantime first funeral of the eight killed today at up on long island for justin zemser, the the first person identified as victims here. we have the first lawsuit of those hurt filed already yesterday, a philadelphia man,

bruce phillips, from southwest philadelphia, he works for amtrak as a dispatcher and suing his own employer right now. he was ride to go his job from philadelphia to new york city where he is a dispatcher and riding in new york in one of the trains, he was in the next to last train and he had severe injuries according to his lawsuit, brain trauma, concussion and spinal injuries. all that as search for answer as to why that train's engineer was speeding up in the minutes before the wreck before slowing down, going into this long curve around here as he was supposed to. >> forty-three seconds before the end off the recording, the train speed exceeded, 80 miles an hour. thirty-one seconds before the end off the recording, the train speed was going to 90 miles per hour, and 16 seconds before the end off the

recording, the train speed was going through 100 miles per hour. >> but i don't think that any common sense rational person would think that it was okay to travel at that level of speed knowing that there was a pretty significant redistribution on how fast you could go through that turn. so, i was being expressive, i know people in york don't speak not that fashion but we do. >> reporter: mayor addressing some criticism he got nationally because he came out and that is what people like about politicians when they say is what on their mind and conscious instead of saying what they think is safe and war big anybody criticizing but he was on one of the national cable networks and he said there is no excuse that this engineer can come up with unless he was having a hard attack which we know he didn't have. welshing engineer has agreed to meet with crash investigators we learn from the latest news conference, at

dinner time, his lawyer is hinting this engineer won't be much help because he doesn't remember what happened before that crash. he has 14 stape tolls close a serious head wound and he just remembers waking up searching the floor for his cell even if to call 911 right away. i'm's sure reporters would like to hear his voice on any 911 call to hear what he was saying to explain that his train had just derailed and we will need help to help people hurt and kill. >> yes. >> i have been finding it fascinating that the ntsb guy is so willing to talk. a lot of times we will talk to you about three months once we listen to the tapes but he is laying it out there, train going 106. >> as soon as we know they tell us. >> as soon as he knows they tell us. >> now speaking of this whole thing, house speaker john boehner, was expressing his condolences about the deadly train derailment here in philadelphia. when he was asked a question,

and his reaction. >> his reaction, a reporter asked him if budget cuts factored in the crash, amtrak cuts. >> are you really going to ask such a stupid question? what is that? they started this yes, it is all about funding, it is all about funding. the obviously it is not about funding. the train was going twice the speed limit. adequate fund were there. no money has been cut by rail safety. >> but spent the billion dollars to put the little machine on that curve, no matter what the engineer was doing the machine would have slowed the train down to 50 miles an hour. it was probably not the the appropriate day to ask the question but it is a legitimate question. he said should people take the the bait adding the house passed a bill earlier this spring to reauthorize amtrak and authorize associated programs with a bunch of double speak. coverage of the amtrak
