you can see the train tracks, this is the port richmond section of the city, the area known as wayne junction. and i'm going to use the color coding here, the train traveling, leaving philadelphia 30th street station here's the curve that steve keeley mentioned. the speed goes down to 55 miles an hour. so, from the picture we see it looks as if the train landed right here in this grassy area. now i spoke to doctor rob who is one of the physicians at aria health. he said that the patient he was treating said it didn't seem like the train was going faster than normal. but they heard a giant screach, which was obviously the brakes being hit and that a bang, and the next thing they know, they were wake up either upside down in darkness with dirt and dust, and panic. so here's the wheat chief lane railroad bridge. see that in the chopper shot that i'm going to show you near just a moment. and here is a live look, from skyfox over the scene again this is in the port richmond section where again the rales have just been totally mangled, and you can see the rail cars either on their side some of them

talking about speed possibly, and the curve the curve here, in the frankford junction which is in the port richmond section, of the city. so i'll use the tell straighter here the train living 30th street station traveling on the straight away here comes the curve in question where the speed drops down to the posted 55 miles per hour. right here, it looks as if from the air the train was supposed to take the curve it did not and went into this wooded area here, which from all of the footage that we've seen from skyfox, in talking to the doctors is right adjacent to what would be the freight rail line. and you see in some of the pictures the tanker cars, which thank goodness none of the tanker cars were punctured in the accident. but, again this is your sharp curve that we're talking about. now let's go to the septa map. because this is going to impact thousands of commuters. 11,000 commuters a day use septa's trenton regional rail line. it is one of septa's busiest regional rail lines connecting trenton new jersey to new jersey transit system, up to new york and of course it, comes right down, kind of runs parallel to 9

city. that train traveled across the schuykill river, and then it was speeding, at 100 miles per hour as it neared the curve at frankford junction. speed limit at that curve is just 50 miles per hour. the train derailed, killing seven people, and injuring 200 others.

cities and industries. by that time, we would have been fighting alone. the outlook was serious. therefore, our strategy was first, to prevent at all costs the junctionf germany and japan, and second, to crush them one at a time. we had to destroy the nasties first -- destroy the first. it was necessary to choose the shorter supply route to european theaters in preference to the longer sea lanes of the pacific. furthermore, to have undertaken an early offensive against japan would have required large naval forces. the attack on pearl harbor had so damaged our fleet as to render us unable to do that offensive. we simply could not wait. in europe, we had hard fighting allies already at grips with the enemies. in england, we had bases from which to launch our fast-growing airpower, but in the pacific, we had no airbases near japan and no strong allies, however brave. most important of all america needed to have two committed nato forces to the european theater because at that time the axis partners had russia and britain on the ropes. if we had concentrated on japan and defeated it, we then might have been confronted with a germany that neither had defe

city. several cars flew off the tracks at 9:30 last night. that's where it happened. the area is where the derailment occurred is known as frankford junction a big curve there just over to the left. 238 passengers and five crew members were on board. most of the passengers were able to escape safely but again, five people are confirmed dead. >> now let's get to our team coverage. we'll start with chad pradelli live as close to the scene as is possible. good morning, chad. >> reporter: good morning, tam. just moments ago a crane was brought in to help with this recovery operation. we're about 200 yards from the wreckage. you can see some of the flashing lights behind me. i'm told by police that two of the deceased have been taken away from that mangled metal. that crane is now here on scene. it will try to lift some of those -- some of those cars to get to others inside the wreckage. now, this was obviously a devastating derailment that happened late last night. mayor michael nutter says seven cars including the engine derailed. some of those cars completely turned over. the startled look of passengers with blood dripping from their gaping

city and the cry of all aboard on amtrak between philadelphia and new york. we were on board the first amtrak train to make its way through the curve at frankford junction this tuesday night and chopper six was overhead. the train left 30th street at 6:07 this morning which, by the way, was 14 minutes late. as for the investigation word is that the marks on the front windshield of the train number 188 were not caused by bullets. officials don't know what did cause them. but not bullets. "action news" reporter john rawlins is live at 30th street station. john back to the commuters. perhaps some were slightly anxious travelers today but overall i imagine everybody was glad to see service back online. >> reporter: yeah, there were some anxious travelers today. but most folks were not. they had been waiting for this to happen as you say the train left little after 6 o'clock this morning. there is a regular sort of cad dray of people who use amtrak to commute from 30th station up to points north. they have been waiting to get service back. the first northbound train departed with 109 people on board. >> no, no.

junction. witnesses say the front of the train suddenly stopped as it was entered the curve in the track. the commuter train was heading to new york cityt derailed here in philadelphia. six passengers were killed. we learned that this morning. and over 140 went to area hospitals with injuries. this morning we're learning eight of those are in critical condition. emergency workers swarmed the crash sight shortly after the derailment trying to help the injured. philadelphia mayor michael nutter could not say how many patterns are unaccounted for and authorities are still unsure what caused all seven cars to slide off the track. and it's not clear yet if any foul play was involved. although early word is that it was an accident. the plane was packed with 238 passengers and five crew members. the national transportation safety board is already here in philadelphia combing through the wreckage looking for an answer to last night's crash. so you can see there's still a lot of activity here. a fire truck went by behind us. balances. it's still very crowded. a lot going on. >> joining us now is congressman jeff denham. congressman, good mornin

matt delucia, this junction, is in fact, the scene of a deadly train crash back in the 1940s that we're just reading about. we'll talk more about that in a bit. we want to go right to city officials who are going to update us now on the latest on this derailment. let's listen in. obviously we're expecting to hear from michael nutter. we see the commissioner ramsey there as well getting ready to brief reporters on what they know at this point. >> what you were describing about that other train, it was back in 1943, a high-speed train. at that time it was a new train traveling between new york city and washington, d.c. derailed then killing 79 people. that was back in 1943. the placement of signal gantry caused the death. >> eerily a similarity, placed near the tracks, a gantry slicing through a dining car on that train. we saw the steel beam matt delucia was showing us earlier, so eery similarities to this 1943 train derailment and it was a deadly accident. >> that is where we really are, as matt delucia was describing seeing the majority of the damage to those cars. we saw that train car on its side with that steel beam on top of it then just behind it we saw another ca
