>> and the scene in the port richmond section of philadelphia has turned from rescue to investigation site. overnight, all train cars were removed from tracks. a little later this morning, the ntsb will be back out at the crash scene to try to piece together exactly what happened. good morning, welcome to "nbc 10 news today." i'm vai sikahema. >> and i'm tracy davidson. you're looking at the derailment from skyforce 10. two railcars removed from the track have been trucked away from the crash scene. two more moving out soon. they're going to a facility in wilmington. we have new information from the lawyer of the amtrak engineer who is being investigated. and officials positively identified the fifth of seven victims who died in the crash. and an investigation into what went wrong. nbc10's matt delucia is live at the seen in port richmond. >> reporter: just in the last ten minutes we saw the ntsb

investigators arrive back here at the scene. i'm going to step out of the way. just over here we have philadelphia police and emergency workers still out in the distance. at this point, they are making an effort to get those railcars out of the way and get them to wilmington where they will be processed for this investigation. they will be examined quite thoroughly. meanwhile, the ntsb is also looking at the black box of the train. the event recorder. finding out what was going on leading up to the derailment. what we know from the investigation so far is that this amtrak train was going 106 miles per hour. then an emergency brake was pulled. and then the crash after it came around the cub here at the frankford junction. the speed limit around that curve is 50 miles per hour. the engineer of the train we learned is 32-year-old brandon bostian from new york. the ntsb said its investigators want to talk with this guy. they tell us the event recorder will be very critical to the investigation and any possible criminal charges.

>> i was in the business before and knowing the recorders that are on the train, they don't lie. >> reporter: and as we take another live look at the scene. once again, you can see there is still a lot of activity out here. and we have seen just a few minutes ago, some tow trucks moving some of the debris out of the way here. they were empty as they were moving out of this area a few minutes ago. but, again, you see that this is still very much an active scene. just behind all of those trucks there, that is where the tracks are right now. as we mentioned at the top of the newscast the engineer's attorney told a national news outlet last night that his client has no recollection of what happened or anything unusual. at this moment there are no criminal suspects. of course this investigation still very early on. still ongoing. back again in about 30 minutes with an update. i'm matt delucia, "nbc10 news." >> a closer look at where this

happened, the train was heading north as it reached frankford junction. skyforce 10, you can see the track right there, that's where the speed limit drops from 80 miles per hour down to 50. it's also where the train ran off the tracks. now, we want to give you insight on the two types of amtrak employees on that train. the conductor is responsible for overseeing the train's operation. the engineer meanwhile, is the person who drives the truck. the conductor suffered a serious head injury and is in the hospital. and the engineer broadcasten bostian of queens new york 32 years old. he got a job with amtrak right out of the college. the impact it's having on travelers around the region is also a focus. disruption in service has stranded or delayed many people. nbc10's katy zachry is live at 30th street station.

well us what happened now in terms of the impact to riders. >> reporter: tracy, i talked to some of the people who are on 30th street. they say the plans have been cancelled. others have told me they've had waited for hours until a new train has arrived. investigators at the derailment sight in port richmond they tell us it will be days if not longer before service on the northeast corridor is back up and running. the trenton line of septa will not run for a week because it shares the same track. because of that he tells me he had to find another way to get to philadelphia. he is still traveling but he cannot shake what happened on the rails. >> it's very scary because i used the northeast travel corridor quite a bit. >> i'm not really concerned, you know, not riding amtrak at all. but aft leastt least for now, you know, we'll probably use cars.

>> reporter: and septa tells us they will have employees all day, assisting travelers with some of the cancellations and some of the detours helping them get on buses or other trains to get to their destination. now, with more on the travel changes and how it could affect your schedule today, let's go to "first alert" traffic reporter jessica boyington for a look at that. jessica. >> katy yeah. we do have a lot of different suspensions and problems. with thousands of people trying to figure out a new way to get to where they have to go. also having modified service from amtrak between washington and philly harrisburg and philly, and affecting septa as well. the market/frankford line is taking all stops to accommodate passengers. the trenton line as we know still suspended. if you do take the trenton line from north philadelphia station into center city we have alternate. you can take broad street into

city hall. route 4 or 16 to head to city hall. several more alternates for you at nbc10.com for more information. jessica, thank you. and a ceo, a college dean a navy midshipman. this morning, we're learning more about the seven people killed in the derailment. overnight we learned the identity of the fifth person who lost his life. his name is derrick griffith. chris cato is in the operations center. >> the college student that made so many promising lives in the business community and the world of business like derrick griffith. a 42-year-old dean student affairs at medgar evers college. he actually founded a school city of new york universe at

preparatory transitional high school. last month, he received a doctorate in education. medgar evers college released a statement saying he was a pillar in the community. he was a champion for the downtrodden and he encouraged students to pursue education with vigor. and included a midshipman a ceo, an architect, and a businessman. the family of rachel jacobs confirmed yesterday that she was among those killed. she's the ceo of a software startup and the mother of a toddler. then there was jim gaines on his way home from meetings in washington. and abid gilani. and justin zemser a naval midshipman on his way home from leave. >> he was wonderful. absolutely wonderful.

anybody who had him as a friend there's nothing more to say. >> there's still at least one passenger missing. this man here bob gildersleeve. he dropped off his son at lacrosse in baltimore. his family has not heard from him. they're handing out flyers taking to social media. we also heard the mayor talk yesterday about the fact that they're trying to map that train manifest. the list of passengers with patient lists at the hospital. he didn't use the phrase everyone's now accounted for but he did say they still having matched up all of the names. they're trying to find out if they can really pin down how many people might stilling missing when that happens. of course the identity is that of the other two of the seven victims. live in the digital operations center chris cato "nbc10 news." right now, you can visit

frankford junction going 100 miles an hour. as you know trains don't have seat belts. the passengers' luggage was flying. we checked on the conditions. two dozen at temple. eight in critical condition there. we spoke to the brother of one of them. he did not wish to share his name, but he talked about what his story is going through. >> she had broken ribs. she had fractured back. she's unable to eat. >> folks i talked to are injured things fell on them in the train. >> reporter: half a dozen victims are at hahnemann hospital we've learned, one is still in serious condition. six are at thomas jefferson. mayor nutter has said it's miraculous looking at the debris here that anyone survived. we're going to continue to update you on the survivors in the next half hour. live from port richmond monique braxton, "nbc10 news." >> we want to show you

typical for a thursday. if you try to take a train call 1-800-usa-rail to check the schedules. >> there's impact from derailment on roads and rails but other things happening on the roads. >> yeah jessica boyington at the "first alert" traffic center. on grant avenue and for the time being take bustleton avenue to get by. amtrak isn't the only service being suspended. new jersey transit atlantic city rail line from cherry hill to philadelphia has service suspended but they will be busing passengers from cherry hill into philadelphia to help with that. additionally, they're cross-honoring amtrak and septa tickets on the new jersey trail and river line. and tickets going to be honored between new york city and trenton as well. so a lost help there.

scene. investigators are back on scene today we saw some of the ntsb folks down below us right now. they just tolding us not to expect a full update until later this afternoon. so there's still a lot more to be done. just this morning, you can see some of the workers out there in the distance trying to get those railcars stabilized so they can be transported away from the scene. and those railcars will be examined at an amtrak facility in wilmington. meanwhile, the ntsb is looking at the black box. the event recorder of the train, trying to find out what was going on leading up to the derailment. here's what we know from the investigation so far, the amtrak train was going 106 miles per hour. then an emergency brake was pulled and then the crash. after it came around the curve here at the frankford junction. now, the speed limit around that curve, by the way, is only 50 miles per hour. the engineer of the train, we've learned is 32-year-old brandon bostian out of new york.

the ntsb says its investigators want to talk with him and retired rail worker told us yesterday that the event recorder is really going to be critical to this investigation and any possible criminal charges. we're going to take a live look out here once again. at the moment philadelphia police tell us there are no criminal suspects as far as the investigation is concerned. this is so early on and the engineer's attorney told a news outlet that his client has no recollection of anything that happened. again, you see this area is blocked off where the crash investigation is still under way. we also saw the red cross out here earlier as well. philadelphia police firefighters out there in the distance. this is still very much an active situation. well more than 24 hours after this derailment happened. live in port richmond i'm matt delucia, "nbc10 news." >> it's heartbreaking but we're getting more details about the lives of this who were lost

night. while investigators out there have made headway, they say it will be days maybe longer before they service is up and running on the northeast corridor. some travelers tell me they do have reservations about getting on any train at this time. >> this makes you think. it really makes you think. i don't think i'll stop traveling, but i will pay attention to perhaps, the car that i'm in. >> reporter: and she tells me from now on she will try to get on one of the rear train cars rather than sitting on one of the cars up front. reporting live katy zachry "nbc10 news." >> and katy, of course is 30th street station. here's a live look high above 30th street. if you plan to take a train at all 1-800-usa-rail to see if your train is on tile. let's find out about other

derailment could have been prevented by a sophisticated sensors on the rails and the railcars. it's called positive train control or ptc. if the train is going too fast the computer warns the crew and if the crew doesn't slow down the train, the computer activates the brakes. >> this is exactly the type of incident that ptc is designed to prevent. >> i'm working very hard on railroad safety in general. and we need to think about how we can prevent accidents in general. >> all u.s. railroads are required to install ptc by the end of this year. some lawmakers say the deadline won't be met. and it can be extended until 2020. some tracks have ptc but not in the area where the crash happened. you can count on nbc10 for coverage of the deadly derailment. you can go to nbc10.com for
