Amtrak Crash Leaves 6 Dead, Scores Injured -'It Is An Absolute Disastrous Mess' + Video
Cheryl Chumley / WND
Six people have been confirmed dead and dozens more injured in an Amtrak train derailment in Philadelphia that saw the separation and complete destruction of seven cars, including the engine.
Five were killed at the scene; a sixth died in a nearby hospital. Herbert Cushing, the chief medical officer at Temple University Hospital, said during a Wednesday morning press conference: “A person died here, couldn’t be revived from injuries. … There was a person who died here after the five reported who died at the scene.”
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter joined with National Transportation Safety Board and Amtrak officials to give updates on the scene Wednesday morning – but not much new was reported.
“There are many things we do not know at this time and we will not speculate at this time. … We can only confirm that unfortunately we have six deceased,” Nutter said. “We have transported hundreds to area hospitals.”
Nutter also said officials haven’t yet accounted for all the passengers on Amtrak’s list, but some may have skipped the trip to take a different train, or otherwise fallen under the radar.
NTSB board member Robert Sumwalt said experts were looking at the track, train signals, the condition of the train and human performance, among other factors, to determine the reasons for the crash. An Amtrak representative, meanwhile, said those seeking information on passengers and loved ones could call the train’s main line, at 1-800-523-9101.
The crash scene was described as horrific.
“It is an absolute disastrous mess,” Nutter said, in a press conference in the midnight Tuesday hour. “We can confirm at least five individuals deceased.”
He also said he’s “never seen anything like this in my life.”
The wreck occurred while the train was rounding a curve.
