amtrak is responsible when there are accidents or injuries to amtrak trains and passengers, even if amtrak didn't own the rails, even if amtrak didn't cause it. for example, the last amtrak crash near the state capital in south carolina, was on another railroad's tracks and that rail company made a mistake and put the amtrak train on a collision course with another train. amtrak had to be the responsible party in terms of litigation. it's very interesting. and it also comes into play when there's that equipment called positive train control, which congress wanted on all tracks over which amtrak travels. amtrak trains are equipped, but not all tracks are equipped. amtrak doesn't own them. >> fascinating. we will stay on top of this story and we appreciate any expertise you can offer along the way. mary schiavo, always good to see you. >> thank you. >>> turning now to the coronavirus pandemic and the latest surge of covid-19 cases is finally showing signs of slowing down. but deaths from the virus still remain high. a recent cnn analysis showed the rate of covid deaths in the ten least vacci

amtrak travels over border tracks all over the country. they had shunted the train on another track where a stopped locomotive is there. there are usually three main causes -- i should add a fourth. weather. there was a tragic accident where the weather was so hot it ca caused the metal rails to buckle out of alignment but yesterday the weather in montana at the high was 79.9 fahrenheit and that's not enough to do that. many possibilities. but on trains like on airplanes, there are black boxes so the ntsb and the amtrak investigators will know exactly what that amtrak train was doing in terms of speed, whether there was time to apply the braking, and lots of other parameters are recorded. they'll have the answer really quickly. >> so what exactly, mary, is happening now in terms of the investigation? you said there's a black back as well. on scene, what exactly will they be looking at? >> first of all, they'll go for the black box, of course, and download the information about the speed, the controls, whether there was time for braking, yo

since 2016 i believe the last federal amtrak crash. but take me through what happens with the school team? you have an ntsb team and what are they going to do? the gonna get on a plane for washington d.c. and do what? >> they will arrive and they will bring in a team from washington and also other parts of the country, we have specific expertise. they will be in that team they will be people who are will interview the crew, they'll interview passengers, they will look at the track itself they. have experts who know where to look for a flaws in a track and whether it's a crack or something that might have happened. that would've caused this derailment they're. going to look at the train cars themselves. the outer carriage of their cars, the wheels, every part of the mechanical system will be investigated. and it will take a while. i don't know how don't they will be unseen, let's say they have a week and they will pull. together every day a report of what they heard and they will share that. one of the things i think is so impressive ab

amtrak confirming three people were killed and dozens more injured. many put up at a local high school. past derailments have often resulted from going into a corner too fast as in this 2015 derailment in philadelphia according to the ntsb. now a team of federal investigators is on the ground in montana to ask how this train came off a straight section of track on a clear day. >> why did the cars derail? if the track were straight it strikes me it is going to be something to do with the train cars themselves and how they connected with the track or in some fault or flaw in the track. >> reporter: on a per mile basis rail travel is far safer than traveling by car. in recent years, there have been safety improvements like positive control systems that automatically keep trains at safe speeds but rail maintenance is a constant challenge and the condition of this section of track will be one of several variables investigators will examine as crews work to clear the wreckage from this typically well traveled rail corridor. >> jake is with us. what are we l

to fix amtrak and invest in our roads, bridges, rails. there's no reason why we shouldn't pass that right away and get shovels in the ground and do everything we can to stop derailments and invest in our infrastructure and climate and fight climate change, and also, we should keep working on the separate bill on reconciliation. >> kitty, do you think the nation's aging infrastructure will indeed be important in terms of looking into this investigation? >> well, i think it is certainly the backdrop, as the congressman indicated, against which the investigation will be considered. as i said, again, there's standards for maintaining track, but we're a country that i think values amtrak, values rail, but that doesn't mean our standards are adequate in terms of maintenance and inspections. that will be something that's considered. they'll also look at human performance. was there something the crew might have done that would have triggered this? they'll look at the physical issues around the cars. so it will all come out. and i think it's impo
