let's listen in to robert sumwalt giving us the latest update. >> robert sumwalt i'm board member witnesslize we're later than we said we would originally be and the reason for that is around 4:30 we started getting some news about interviews and some other things that we felt that were important for you to know about. so we have -- we delayed it so that we could report that information to you. >>> we have interviewed three crew members today and i want to point out i'm going to recapture some of the things that they have said but i want to point out that these crew members have been traumatized through this accident that they were in and they've not fully recovered from their injuries. we did interview the engineer today it's been widely reported he's 32 years old. he had his fra federal railroad administration required physical just last month. our investigators found the engineer to be extremely cooperative. he was accompanied by his lawyer which is not at all unusual and the engineer encourage us to contact him further again contact him again if we needed anything else so again we fou

we're continuing to cover press conference just moments ago with robert sumwalt.board member investigating that crash in philadelphia. my two guests two former ntsb investigators. alan diehl and russell quimby. i'll ask a quick reaction, guys. next steps. what happens next? obviously all this data gets analyzed. it will take a week to do according to sumwalt. alan, to you first. what will be the most important thing these investigators do? >> interview the engineer. gerri: that's number one. russell, do you agree? >> yeah, i would agree with that. and the next thing i would say is, interview the amtrak officials or whoever was responsible for not ensuring that there was a speed enforcement system employed on that particular part of the track. gerri: all right. i'm just going to wrap up a couple of points that we heard today here, which is that the train was going 106 miles per hour when it hit that curve. and that's according to the information that was recorded by the train. that's what we found out today within the last hour. that's the headline here. and also t

let's listen to board member robert sumwalt as part of that press conference today. >> recalls ringing train bell as he went through the north philadelphia station. that's not a normal station stop for him but he's required by regulations to sound his bell. i may have said horn. he's required to sound his bell as goes through past the station stop. and did he that. he recalled doing that. but he has no recollection of anything past that. >> reporter: of course, that is robert sumwalt board member with the inform tsb talking about the engineer going through the philadelphia train station ringing a bell he said the engineer tells him he does not remember much of anything that happened after that. but again the big thing that came out of this news conference today is that there may have been something that hit the windshield of that train. windshield does have of course damage it to from it the impact of the crash but robert sumwalt says they'll be looking at having the fbi look at the windshield tonight to see in fact if something did hit that caused the engineer to go off the track. als

you saw robert sumwalt of n.t.s.b. this kris's report. we spoke to him a short time ago and asked him why the train was going so fast. >> we plan to interview the engineer at first opportunity that we can. we want to go back and look at the operation of the train. we want the look at the mechanical condition of the train. we want the find out exactly why this train got into the position that it did. >> pelley: what else do you know about what happened to the train in the moments before it left the tracks? for example, did the engineer hit the brakes? >> just moments before the derailment, the engineer placed the train into the emergency mode. that applies the emergency brakes to their full application. we know that. that was just moments before the derailment. we want to know, again, why was the train traveling at the speed that it was. >> pelley: is there any indication that there was any fault in the track itself? >> we will be looking at the condition of the track. we'll be looking at the traffic control signals to see what they were d

and as robert sumwalt indicated they have not talked with the engineer. they say the man has been traumatized, they want to give him a few days, but it's on the list of must-do interviews. >> lisa, look, you've reported on so many of these investigations, you can walk through how some of these investigations actually unfolds. the go team responds. the go team is on the ground now in the philadelphia area. and listening to robert sumwalt and he said that they have to take time to examine the tracks, tracks signals, you can take it from there. >> as in many of these accidents people want to know exactly what happened. we have an incredible amount of information about what happened because of that event recorder that is on this train. amtrak downloaded initially the data but the event recorder is on its way to washington, d.c. to the ntsb lab, and they'll do a full download to have a comprehensive look to see when did the train get up to speed and how did the brakes work. they'll be testing the brakes, and they'll look at the tracks. he said that the tracks

national transportation safety board member robert sumwalt said yesterday the accident was preventable >> i think we're looking probably at either a signal cause or human factor cause probably more likely the latter. that being the case, that is exactly the kind of issue that positive train control is designed to address. and as such, if it turns out to be one or both of those causes, positive train control would absolutely have prevented this accident. nermeen: it prevents trains from going faster than the speed limit. it was not installed at the site of tuesday's crash. federal rules require the national rail network to have an operating positive train control system by the end of the year, but in march, the senate commerce committee voted to extend the deadline for implementing the new technology until at least 2020. just hours after the crash, the republican-controlled house appropriations committee rejected a democratic amendment to offer $825 million to speed up positive train control implementation. they voted to cut amtrak's budget by $250,000. amy: rail advocates have long cal

sumwalt will now speak. robert: thank you.y name is robert sumwalt and as mayor nutter said i'm a member of the national transportation safety board. we are members arriving on the scene between 4:00 and 5:00 this morning and we continue to be arriving from washington throughout the morning. certainly, before i go any further, i would like to express our sincere condolences for all of those who have been affected by this tragedy. our sincere condolences and thoughts and prayers go out to all of them. mayor nutter said, we have a multidisciplinary team who will be looking at a number of issues, looking at the track, , the operationls of the train, mechanical condition of the train, human performance. we are setting up a multidisciplinary investigation to try and understand the factors that led to this accident. in addition, we have brought in experts from the ntsb office of transportation disaster assistance, who will be assisting those family members who have been affected by this tragedy. we will be holding an organizational

what's your immediate reaction when you heard robert sumwalt, and i assume you know robert from your years at the ntsb. what's your reaction to what he said? >> i was shocked as i think deborah was, that this accident occurred because as she mentioned, it has happened before. and there's two things that are going to happen right away. one is they're going to look at the engineer very carefully. they're going to pull his cell phone records to see if he was distracted or on his cell. they're going to look at his activities, the 72 hours beforehand. and they're going to look carefully at his past record. and of course this reiterates another concern. not only positive train control which as we know the ntsb has been pushing for years. today the congress cut an appropriation for positive train control on the very day after this tragedy. and the congress is really going to have to address these kinds of infrastructure issues. but another interesting point is why only forward-facing cameras? why not a camera facing into the cabin? the ntsb has discussed that as well. but engineer groups ha

let's listen to robert sum was the. >> i -- sumwalt. >> i want to point out that these crew members haveaumatized through this accident that they were in. and they've not fully recovered from their injuries. we did interview the engineer today and. as has been widely reported he is 32 years old. he had his fra federal railroad administration required physical just last month. our investigators found the engineer to be extremely cooperative. he was accompanied by his lawyer, which is not at all unusual. and the engineer encouraged us to contact him further again contact him again if we needed anything else, so again we found him to be extremely cooperative. he recalls ringing the train bell as he went through the north philadelphia station. that's not a normal station stop for him but he's required by regulations to sound his bell. i may have said horn. he's required to sound his bell as he goes through past a station stop. and he did that. he recalled doing that. but he has in recollection of anything past that. he felt fully qualified and comfortable with his equipment and he reported n

not around the world, for the quality of their work, and their board member, robert some alt -- robert sumwalt and the vice chair of the ntsb, vice chairwoman dentasar. the philadelphia fire department, under the great leadership of commissioner derek sawyer, philadelphia police the permit, under the incredible leadership of police commissioner charles ramsey. deputy mayor for public safety deputy mayor for administration and coordination, the managing director. our city representative and director of communications, desiree peterson bell. and the nationally-recognized dr. of emergency management sam phillips, and our director of public safety. this team, city, state, and federal partners working in collaboration and coordination made what could have been an even greater tragedy a life-saving miracle here in our city. so i want to thank all of them and express appreciation for their work, their cooperation and their support. state senator to take lyons -- tartaglione with us today and has consistently expressed her concern for the families. jummy: all right, that is philadelphia mayor michael

. >> robert sumwalt, great to have you with us. thank you for taking time out of your day, thank you for your forthright answers and thank you for all the work you're doing down there. >> thank you so much. >> as we mentioned mayor michael nutter will be holding a press conference noon eastern time. right there where you saw mr. zumwalt, it will be happening about 50 minutes from now. >>> several passengers fighting for their lives. speak to a doctor and medical professional that treated them in chaotic moments after the crash. >> plus breaking news, more than 700 potential terror suspects have returned to the uk after trips to syria. the threat and how authorities are hunting them down. we'll be right back. i'm reworking the menu. veggies you're cool... mayo, corn dogs... you are so out of here! ahh... the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. with nine grams of protein... and 26 vitamins and minerals. and now with... ...twice as much vitamin d ...which up to 90% of people don't get enough of. ohhhhhhh. the sunshine

and robert sumwalt joins me from the ntsb. it is good to have you on again. what is the latest on the investigation? where do things go from now? >> the engineer has agreed to be interviewed by the ntsb and we're looking very much forward to the opportunity of getting his side of the story? >> do you know when that will take place. because his attorney is saying he doesn't remember anything at this point. >> well we expect that to take place in the next few days. but like we just heard, memory loss is traumatica from an event but memory loss could go back. but just going into the event, but just talking to him about how he approached his job, his level of professional level, his fatigue levels will all be helpful regardless of how we cut it. >> you announced the train went from 70 miles per hour to over 100 miles per hour in the seconds before the crash, at this point it is clear what could have potentially caused it to accelerate that quickly? >> certainly that is the big question to be answered. why did that train go from that speed up to over 100 miles per

joining me now is national transportation safety board member robert sumwalt. so robert, give us the latest on the investigation. you've gotten a little bit of an assist at this point from the fbi. but the ntsb is really leading this up. where do things stand? >> you're exactly right, brianna. we have asked the fbi to come in and provide their technical expertise on identifying this mark on the windshield. but we're leading the investigation. we've gotten a lot more done already and there's a lot more that needs to be done. >> how much credence do you give to the idea -- tell us if you have a sense of what the projectile might be, a bullet or rock, and how much credence do you give to the idea that that may have contributed or even caused this accident? >> well at this point we really want to chase this lead down. we heard from the assistant conductor that that's what she believes she heard, was some conversation about that. we now see a mark on the windshield we want to look at. so we're going to look at everything at this point. >> there was a regional line tr

but we've been doing a lot of other things up to this point. >> robert sumwalt of the ntsb. thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> thank you, jake. >>> the stretch of track where this crash happened did not have new technology that would have automatically slowed the train down. exactly how does this technology work? why is there not more of it out there? and if you're in a derailment certain spots where you sit on a train may actually increase your chances of escaping serious injury. that's next. so we've had a tempur-pedic for awhile but now that we have the adjustable base, it's even better. when i put my feet up on this bed, my stress just goes away. i go up... heeeeyyyy. our tempur-pedic is the best thing in our house...'cept for my husband. wait, wait, where are you going? (vo): discover how tempur-pedic can move you. and now through may 31st save hundreds on a tempur-breeze mattress and adjustable base. and when you bundle your home and auto insurance through progressive, you'll save a bundle! [ laughs ] jamie. right. make a bad bundle joke a buck goes in the jar.

robert sumwalt is leading the investigation for the national transportation safety board.ins me from the scene of the accident. so first, i want to ask you kind of your reaction to that fact. most people in the the tv audience are going to say that's yet train derailed. it was going too fast. >> well certainly, we want to find out why the train was going over twice the speed limit. we want to fiend that out. and then another factor is why did the train derail? and you're right, it probably has something to do with the speed. so we want to understand the crash dynamics. we want to understand why the train was going that fast. >> sreenivasan: you and your agency have investigated several different types of accidents before. what are some of the rans that make a train get to that speed especially heading into a curve? >> well, i think one thing that will be key to the investigation is being able to interview the engineer. we want to find out what his thoughts were, what was going through his mind. we want to check the-- very carefully, we want to check the mechanical conditio

ntsb member robert sumwalt said whatever it was, it was not a bullet. >> i'd like to downplay that part. it looks like something the side of a grapefruit if you will and it did not even penetrate the entire wheel. the engineer says he does not remember anything in the few moments before the crash. >>> police in washington, d.c. want help in solving a mystery. it started with a house fire but investigators found the remains of four people the owners son, and housekeeper were beaten before the fire. they have video showing a man called a person of interest. they believe he may have taken a family car and later set it on fire. >>> coming up on the "morning news," plane hacker. the man who claims he was able to fly an airliner from his seat on the plane. >>> and later, visitors at the 9/11 memorial are sickened by a mysterious odor. this is the "cbs morning news." people with type 2 diabetes come from all walks of life. if you have high blood sugar ask your doctor about farxiga. it's a different kind of medicine that works by removing some sugar from your body. along with diet and exercise

then robert sumwalt of the ntsb picks up what she said. >> she also believed that she heard her engineer say something about his train being struck by something. our investigation does not independently confirm this information but we have seen damage to the left hand lower portion of the amtrak windshield that we have asked the fbi to come in and look at for us. >> reporter: so, this is all going to be subject to further investigation as you heard. they are concerned about that condition of the windshield even though it has been a -- the train has been in a major crash. they are asking as you heard the fbi to come out tonight to examine the windshield of that amtrak locomotive. so as we say we have a startling revelation here, the possibility of some sort of crime or some sort of force acting upon the train independent of the operation of the engineer here. and at this point this may give us at least another possible theory of why amtrak 188 sped out of control tuesday night. that's the situation right now live in society hill, john rawlings, channel6 "action news." back to you, jim. >>

the national transportation safety board's robert sumwalt reported friday, mish to the engineer, two assistant conductors from train 188 have been interviewed. one revealing new information. shortly after leaving the philadelphia train station, she heard an engineer report his train being hit. the ntsb is also aware of reports of a washington-bound amtrak train being struck by an object. damage can be seen in this picture taken by a rider. both incidents occurring in the same general area and shortly before the derailment. >> our investigation is not independently confirmed this information, but we have seen damage to the left-hand lower portion of the amtrak windshield that we have asked the fbi to come in and look at for us. >> reporter: while ntsb investigators say engineer brandon bostian has been very cooperative, he does not remember the incident. >> he is required to sound his bell as he goes through past the station stop. and he did that. he recalled doing that. but he has no recollection of anything past that. >> reporter: with the fbi now looking at the damage in this major

we'll get the latest on the investigation from robert sumwalt. >> our power player of the week washington's new mayor on a tale of two cities. >> people love our progress but they also want to be able to afford to live in washington. >> all right now on "fox news sunday." >> and hello again from fox news in washington. we start with breaking news of a raid in eastern syria by u.s. special forces. the pentagon says commandos killed a top isis leader who helped direct the terrorist group's lucrative oil and gas operations. katherine has the latest. >> the intelligence gather from the raid is described as a treasure troef of information. including cell phones and laptop computers and documents that reveal how the isis network communicates and earns money to finances and operations in iraq in syria. we're learning new details about the raid itself with the defense official telling fox news some of the fighting which took place in eastern syria was at time hand to hand combat. women and children were used as human shield. an isis militant deech defended the multistory complex. a shadowy figure s

s robert sumwalt. >> i've seen the fracture pattern. it looks like something about the size of a grapefruit, if you will and it did not even penetrate the entire windshield. >> reporter: an assistant conductor on train 188 told investigators she remembered a radio conversation between engineer brandon bostian and a regional train operator about their trains being instruct by objects, but the engineer of the regional train hit by a projectile short hi before the crash spoke with the n.t.s.b. over the weekend and did not recall any such communication and there was no communication from bostian reporting any impact. philadelphia's regional transit authority says it receives two or three reports a month of objects being thrown at trains. even with the looming question of what caused tuesday's derailment, amtrak is back in service in philadelphia. >> we're on the very first amtrak train to start running after the deadly derailment, crossing over the newly replaced tracks. the train slowed noticeably as we went around the curve where the dera

. >> reporter: ntsb board member robert sumwalt talked during a press conference today about the interviewhey did with 32-year-old brandon bostian the engineer of amtrak train 188 that derailed tuesday. >> he recalls ringing the train bell as he went through the north philadelphia station. that's not a normal station stop for him but he's required by regulations to sound his bell. >> reporter: sumwalt says the engineer told him he has no recollection of anything past that. it was an interview with a conductor in car four of the train that revealed something of great concern. that she says she heard over radio transmission between the amtrak engineer and a septa engineer. >> she recalled that the septa engineer had reported to the train dispatcher that he had either been hit by a rock or shot at. and that the septa engineer said that he had a broken windshield and he placed his train into emergency stop. she also believed she heard her engineer say something about his train being struck by something. >> reporter: ntsb not confirmed this information but says it has seen damage to the left ha

ntsb robert sumwalt spoke to fox news sunday drawing it's too early to draw any conclusions. >> we're looking at everything at this point. we have not ruled anything out nor have we ruled anything in. >> reporter: more than 200 people were injured in the crash and currently there is a $200 million cap on liabilities that might be paid out by amtrak and the attorneys for the victims say they may challenge that rule. back to you. iain? >> dave, thank you. there are still questions tonight surrounding the reports of projectiles thrown at trains in the area the night of the crash and this afternoon septa officials held a news conference to talk about train safety and the dangers of projectiles and fox 29's chris o'connell was inside that news conference. chris, what did we learn? >> well, the ntb continues its investigation into the amtrak derailment iain septa police are now speaking out about the dangers of rock throwing and other projectiles at its locomotives. something septa engineers say happens way too routinely. septa reported the night of the amtrak derailment that one of their t

. >> reporter: robert sumwalt is a member of the national transportation safety board investigating the amtrak derailment that left eight people dead and dozens injured. sumwalt appeared on face the nation sunday morning to down play the theory that a bullet went through the windshield before the train derailed. >> it looks like something about the size of a grapefruit, if you will, and it did not even penetrate the entire windshield. >> reporter: on the stretch of the track where the accident occurred, amtrak has not yet installed the system called positive train control. it puts a computer in charge of the train controls if there's an engineer error that could lead to potential danger. >> we believe that positive train control if installed and operational, it would have prevented this accident. >> reporter: a day after the crash a house appropriations committee approved a $250 million budget cut for amtrak. now a house transportation committee will hold a hearing to re-evaluate funding for the rail agency. senator bob casey was on face the nation saying congress should support amtrak

states of america, if not around the world, for the quality of their work and their board member robert sumwalt and the vice chair of the ntsb vice chair woman denzar. the philadelphia fire department under the great leadership of commissioner derek sawyer, philadelphia police department under the incredible leadership of police commissioner charles ramsey, deputy mayor for public safety everett gilson, deputy mayor for administration and coordination and the managing director, rich nagrin, city representative and director of communications, desiree peter cantell. and the nationally recognized, the director of emergency management sam phillips and our director of public safety mike reznik. this team, city, state and federal partners working in collaboration and coordination made what could have been an even greater tragedy a life- saving miracle here in our city. so i want to thank all of them and express appreciation for their work, their cooperation, and their support. state senator is with us today, but has consistently expressed her concern for the families. city councilman bobby heenen, wh

. >> reporter: as federal officials gathered to remember the lives lost the ntsb's robert sumwalt says investigators increasingly believe the train was not shot at. >> i would like to down play that part of it. i have seen the fracture pattern. it looks like something about the size of a grapefruit, if you will, and it did not even penetrate the entire windshield. >> reporter: this first-time amtrak passenger suffered a fractured back. >> it was chaos. there's no other word. the first thing i thought about is just surviving. i have a five-year-old son and a beautiful wife that i wanted to fight for. >> reporter: two philadelphia police officers climbed into the darkness of the mangled first car. >> going into that car was like going into a sea of razor 0 blades. everybody that wept in there got injured. it was extremely dangerous. >> reporter: he is in this picture that wept viral, carrying an injured passenger off the train. >> it was very difficult to walk, the way the car was angled. it was probably like a 45- degree angle. >> reporter: what would you want to say to the firefighters

s robert sumwalt explained late this afternoon, a philadelphia computer train reported being struck by something shortly before the amtrak train derailed. in addition to the engineer, the n.t.s.b. interviewed two assistant conductors from train 188. one said that shortly after leaving the philadelphia train station, she heard a septa engineer report his train being hit. >> she recalled that the septa engineer had reported to the train dispatcher that he had either been hit by a rock or shot at and that the septa engineer said that he had a broken windshield, and he placed his train into engineer stop. >> reporter: she went on to tell investigators she also believed the amtrak train had been hit and sumwalt described a circular part of damage on the lower part of the windshield. >> this is her recognition and certainly we're going to be conducting further investigation of this comment. our investigation is not independently confirmed this information, but we have seen damage to the the left-hand lower portion of the amtrak windshield that we have asked the f.b.i. to come in and look at

the national transportation safety board's robert sumwalt today said bostian has agreed to be interviewed in the coming days and the train was accelerating as it approached the curve. >> just before entering the curve is when the engineer applied the ing near-induced breaking to put it into emergency braking. report his lawyer says bostian does not remember the crash and suffered a concussion and received 14 staples to close a wound on his head. bostons -- bostian's online resume says he's been an amtrak engineer since 2010. before that he was a conductor. he was often critical of the railroad industry for failing to implement safeguards against human error. one posting from 2011 read, "at any point over the previous 80 years the railroad could have voluntarily implemented some form of this technology." investigators say they don't know why the train was speeding. bostian has already submitted a blood sample to test for the presence of drugs and alcohol. they will also examine his cell phone records. philadelphia mayor michael nutter said today city police officers learned little from bos

board member robert sumwalt. >> what damage patterns to that windshield are we having the f.b.i. look at? there is a circular pattern that emanates out just a bit. >> reporter: in an interview with the n.t.s.b., an assistant conductor recalled hearing a radio conversation between engineer brandon bostian and another train operator about objects striking their trains. two other trains in the same area a washington, d.c.-bound amtrak train and a regional commuter train known as septa both appear to have been hit by what witnesses describe as a projectile shortly before the crash. septa officials say transit police get about one call a week in that area for people throwing things at passing trains. monica williams was on the septa train that was hit. >> there was a loud bump. the train immediately slowed. >> reporter: as they sat on the tracks, train 188 raced by. minutes later she learned it draild. >> now there's another train a few minutes ahead and you're telling me it's off the tracks. so lot of feelings. and then a little bit of frattitude too. >> reporter: investigators still

. >> reporter: ntsb robert sumwalt says it is high priority for them to talk to the train engineer in the next couple days. the train was equiped with the forward facing video recorder, which has been sent to washington for analysis, along with the black box. that is very latest from here live from port richmond i'm dann cuellar for channel six "action news". >>> "action news" reporter kenneth moton is live at 37th and market in university city, outside the building that houses a start up company that lost its ceo last night kenneth, tell us about rachel jacobs and other crash victims. >> reporter: jim rachel jacobs a wart more college graduate had been traveling from new york city to commute to her job here at the university of city science center. he was living in insuring with her husband and her two-year old. the ceo along with the award winning associated press employee also wells far go executive and a young u.s. naval academy student are among the dead. this is an unspeakable tragedy, word wednesday night from the family of the 39 year-old rachel jake opposite. ceo of philadelp

joining us from philadelphia, board member of the ntsb robert sumwalt. as to why the train was going so fast? >> well, that's why we're here. i want to point out that everything is on the table. we certainly want to understand why this train was doing more than twice the authorized speed. so we'll be looking at the human, we'll be looking at the machine and that's what we're looking at at this point. >> a month or so ago when we had the tragic plain crash, the suicide in france, a lot of people were asking why they didn't have rules requiring two pilots in the cockpit. we just had a guest on saying that a safe low-tech way to make these type of accidents -- prevent these would be to have two people up front. why don't we do that? why don't we require that? would that make your job easier? >> well joe, good morning. we think there is an option that's even better than having a second person in the locomotive cab and that's a system called positive train control. that is a system that's designed to protect against human error. and if the error occurs, the p

. >> reporter: today ntsb member robert sumwalt repeated his belief this crash could have been prevented if amtrak installed positive train control along this stretch of north bound track. the as this industry video shows it uses gps computers and encrypted wireless signals detecting a speeding train the system is design to remetly override the engineer slowing or stopping the train. >> one of the four things it is designed to do is to prevent derailments due to over speeding. the second fact is we know that this train was speeding by a factor of at least two. the positive train control can prevent this type of an accident. it would have prevented this accident, if it had been properly, if it had been installed and operational. >> reporter: so, sumwalt says ntsb has been advocating for positive train control since 1970's. congress stepped in 2007 to mandate it nationwide here. that doesn't look like it will happen in many places, however, ceo of amtrak just yesterday said it would be in place, up the entire northeast corridor, by the congressional deadline which is the end of this year.
