in fact, an associated press employee on the train says it appears it went off the tracks. >> yeah, we see that and certainly medics are headed to the scene. we also have crews headed to the scene as well. fox 29's bruce gordon is on his way to the scene. so we hope to have him and maybe 15 20 minutes obviously you can see this is an active scene just happening less than 30 minutes ago as we told you this amtrak train headed from washington d.c. to new york city. according to reports by the associated press, and others that the train was -- front of rain was coming into a turn and it shook and then it went off the rails. so again, there are maybe as many as 240 people on that train train. we're hearing reports of up to 50 people may have been injured but as you can see this scene in port richmond this is extremely active scene as lucy is talking buehl those people looking for people this is a rescue -- search rescues operation right now. this is again the picture from twitter on former congressman patrick murphy tweeted this out he was on the train and said he's okay but he's helping o

many of the reports in the newspapers come from the ap, the associated press, which we still have today, and it was established in 1846, conglomerate of five newspapers pooling resources, the herald being one of them to get as much information from around the country as they pozbly can at any point in time rising to importance during the civil war and you can see it's right at the, you know, apex of its early significance here, and so a reporter named edd edd edd edd lorence is doing the reporting, so the reports coming from him, into the ap and to the herald: also, you see stan ten, the secretary of war giving his dispatches given in the paper as well. he would go to the war telegraph office and give information coming from the government and newspapers would report that as well. i don't know precisely what people's reaction was not being there, awebut certainly, there's reports in subszequent editions of dispair. there was a beloved figure, leader in parts of this country, and so there was certainly a bit of worry and mayhem, and when, in fact, he was not killed, but injured. there wa

that is from the associated press. my early on bigs found an important nugget.the fall of 2012 e-mails were exchanged between secretary of state then chief of staff cheryl mills and the head of the counter terrorism center, matthew olsen. matthew olsen has emerged as one of the heroes because one week after the attacks on the benghazi consulate he was the first government official to declare benghazi was a terrorist attack doing that before sworn open testimony before the senate. now the e-mails show olsen was communicating and telling her we are continuing to fight off questions and thought congressional hearings happening on benghazi are going fine. so it shows interesting communication between one of the most senior intelligence officials in the country and hilary clinton's staff. back to you. >> you have more reading to do. keep reading and we will come back to you. james rosen. thank you very much. let's bring it to the couch. jedediah starting with you, the advantage to hilary clinton, if there is there there in all of this as president obama likes to say,

talk about the findings from the associated press first.l from california state government which showed there is a little bit of a problem there. >> yeah it is actually interesting. the frequency of accidents for these cars seems a bit higher for typical car, but according to the companies the cars didn't cause accidents but hit by other people or the human driver were involved with some of the accidents with this report came out. gerri: out of 48 cars, four cars since september have gotten into accident. what would be parallel number the in the real worlds those low-grade human drivers it is not even one per 100,000 miles. it is .3 of 1% of 100,000 miles. the hit rate is much higher. granted these were all fender benders. no one got hurt but the speeds were very low. what does it mean in the confidence of self-driving cars, does that mean you're more or less can confident? >> those asks may not be reported. gerri: true. >> a lot and in the low speed human environment. they are scared of high speed driverless cars flying down the highway. i

associated press reporter david pitt has been covering the story and joins me now via skype from des moines, iowa. david just a couple of weeks ago we were talking about how bad this was, but it hasn't gotten any better. >> right, it does still seem to be spreading. the hardest hit states are minnesota where most-- you know, a lot of the turkeys in the united states are raised and iowa, the leading egg-producing state. so both states have seen increased cases in the last few days. so we are seeing it spread, still and the priority, i think, for those who study this problem is to try to figure out how to keep it from spreading and how it is spreading, and then stop it if possible. >> sreenivasan: what are the the market effects now? this has just gone on long enough. are we seeing prices increase zoo we are. the last story i did a few days ago reflected carton egg prices going up about 17% or so in the midwest. the biggest impact so has been eggs used for ingredients in things like mayonnaise and cake mixes and that kind of thing. those markets have seen a little over 60% increase. >>

you have associated press manager says he felt the train slow down. and then he felt shaking and derailment. if you look at these different accounts, and you look at that scene right there, of the mangled wreckage it's unclear as to what happened here which is why you can see authorities are trying to veer clear of speculating on any cause of the crash. to our eyes and the first responders' eyes there is nothing blatantly obvious. >> just incredible there. people just trying to get from point a to b. this service now has been suspended and cancelled for the evening between philly and new york. normal service returning to amtrak is going to be difficult to resume. they say cars are off the track and this is a devastating scene. it sounds like the train had to be going full speed or close to it. there is a massive investigation and you heard at least 53 people transported to hospitals, six deemed critical. they said at least five fatalities. 53 people transported to the hospital. i'm assuming based on information there are six people in critical conditi
