In the moments after the derailment, scores of emergency personnel swarmed
over more than a half-dozen toppled train cars, trying to reach the dazed,
the injured, the dying.
.
Some people were reported trapped in the train, and crews were cutting
into the cars to try to free the injured.
.
Ladder 10 was the first to respond to the scene. When firefighters
arrived, they found two people under the train, a fire official said.
.
At a briefing early Wednesday morning, with Gov. Wolf at his side, Mayor
Nutter gave the grim numbers: In addition to the five dead, 65 people were
taken to area hospitals, primarily Temple University Hospital. Six were in
critical condition.
.
It was unclear hours later how many people were still not accounted for.
.
Train 188, bound to New York from Washington with 238 passengers and five
crew members aboard, had left 30th Street Station minutes before the
accident, which occurred near a curve at Wheatsheaf Lane and I-95.
.
Nutter told reporters the first fire call came in at 9:28 p.m. and quickly
grew to four alarms. In all, he said, 33 pieces of equipment were sent in
to help, along with 122 Fire Department personnel and Emergency Medical
Services workers. Also responding were about 200 police officers, and
officials from the Department of Homeland Security, Pennsylvania State
Police, SEPTA, and Amtrak.

Efforts to comb through the wreckage using cranes and other heavy
equipment would wait until daylight, he said.
.
By 2 a.m., the heavy equipment needed for that task had started to arrive.
.
A team of investigators was expected to arrive later Wednesday, Nutter
said. He promised another update at 11 a.m.
.
Said Wolf: "Anything the state can do to help, we stand ready to do that.
... You can count on the commonwealth."
