. >> reporter: national transportation safety board investigators now believe the deadly amtrak crash was caused by engineer brandan bostian's loss of situational awareness. bostian told investigators just minutes before the derailment he heard radio traffic between a dispatcher and the engineer of a philadelphia commuter train that had been hit by a rock. the dispatcher asked him a couple times if he needed medical attention, bostian said. they went back and forth a few times. as train 188 approached the commuter train, bostian said, "i blew my train's whistle quite a bit. i was concerned they may have personal on the ground." bass chan told investigators the incident got him thinking about a coworker in california who was injured in a train collision and had glass impact his eye from hitting a tractor-trailer. bostian then accelerated the amtrak train going into a curve, hitting 106mph before slamming on the brakes, but only seconds before the train left the tracks. all of those things put together created, i believe, an environment where he maybe lost situational awareness. >> repo

this was the scene in washington today as the national transportation safety board issued its official report on last year's amtrak crash in philadelphia. as we reported last night at 11:00, the ntsb pinned the primary blame on engineer brandon bostian. the agency said he had been distracted by word on his radio that a nearby train had been hit by a rock. bostian speeded up to 16 miles an hour going into the -- 106 miles an hour going into the frankford curve, a 50-mile-an-hour zone. that's when the trainte derailed. we went to disaster. the ntsb put the secondary blame on the lack of a positive train control system that would have slowed the train. >> if a ptc system had been active this, this train would not have derailed on the curve. close to 200 passengers would not have been injured and 8 other passengers would still be alive today. >> and the good muse here is that technology has now been install on the philadelphia tracks. >>> and something else came out of the tragedy last year, the ntsb said today that the city of philadelphia needs a plan, a coordinated plan, a mass casualty

well, the national transportation safety board found the lack of coordination by emergency responders to some hospitals being overutilized, others underutilized. it also found scoop-and-run may be a reasonable use of resources. >> fire rescue does an outstanding job, but they're just not as prevalent as we are. so typically we get to the scene first, and we don't waste time, and we get into the hospital for the trauma surgeons to do the spectacular work they do. >> reporter: the ntsb also found police fire and the office of emergency management policies of transport during a mass casualty are not integrated. and recommended the agency develop a plan and practice it including a full-scale drill every three years. police commissioner ross says such a plan is already in the process of being implemented. it will focus on ingress and egress routes that set up a -- the setup of a triage center and communication. >> you can always work to improve upon your training and your responses, and so that's not an indictment of what they did by any stretch of the imagination. we couldn't be more prou
