7 Dead in Derailment of Amtrak Train From D.C. to NYC | 13 May 2015 | Seven people are dead in an Amtrak train derailment that injured dozens and plunged screaming passengers into darkness and chaos Tuesday night. Preliminary data shows that Amtrak Train 188 was traveling more than 100 mph before it derailed Tuesday night, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has confirmed. The train, a Northeast Regional, was en route from Washington to New York with 238 passengers and five crew members aboard when it derailed as it was rounding a sharp curve in the city's Port Richmond section shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said.
