Philadelphia train derailment

over six people have been confirmed dead and at least 140 injured in an Amtrak train derailment in Philadelphia on Tuesday night.

The train, which was carrying 238 people and headed to New York from Washington D.C., reportedly jumped the tracks and rolled onto its side while traveling through the Port Richmond section of the city. 

Among the passengers was Associated Press manager Paul Cheung, who said was watching Netflix when he felt the train start to decelerate. "Then suddenly you could see everything starting to shake," he said. "You could see people's stuff flying over me." 

Meanwhile, MSNBC anchor Patrick J. Murphy was also on the train and he urged people to pray for those injured, Tweeting a picture of the scene from inside his train car.
