7 CARS AND THE LEAD CAR GO OFF TRACK IN THE CRASH.
Hundreds search for U.S. helicopter after second Nepal quake kills scores-Reuters By Krista Mahr and Ross Adkin-MAY 13,15-YAHOONEWS
CHARIKOT, Nepal (Reuters) - Hundreds of Nepali troops searched for a missing U.S. Marine helicopter with eight people on board on Wednesday, a day after the second powerful earthquake in less than three weeks killed scores and sent panicked residents rushing out of buildings.The Himalayan nation is still reeling from last month's devastating quake measuring 7.8 that killed more than 8,000 people and injured close to 20,000.The U.S. helicopter was delivering aid in Dolakha, one of the districts hit hardest by both quakes, on Tuesday when it went missing with six Marines and two Nepali troops on board.In the district capital Charikot, relief and military helicopters brought people wounded when buildings collapsed and landslides struck in outlying hamlets to an open-air clinic where they were treated on bloodied tarpaulins.On one flight was Uttav Nepali from Singati village, where there was a large landslide under which authorities believed people were still buried. He said only a handful of houses were left standing."I was outside when the quake struck. Bricks and the top floor of my shop fell down and crushed my arm and back," Nepali said, as he sat among villagers from other communities and waited to find out if he was headed to Kathmandu for treatment.The helicopters alternated between evacuating and helping find the Marine Corps UH-1Y "Huey" helicopter, which lost radio contact after its crew was heard talking about fuel problems.A Nepali military official said it appeared the helicopter might have come down in one of the rivers that snake through valleys in Dolakha district east of the capital, Kathmandu.
HUNDREDS SEARCHING FOR HELICOPTER
Six other helicopters joined hundreds of ground troops in the search for the missing aircraft."The info we have is that it is down in one of the rivers, but none of the choppers has seen it yet," Major Rajan Dahal, second-in-command of the Barda Bahadur Battalion, told Reuters in Charikot."There are 400-plus of our ground troops looking for it also. By this evening, we might get it," he said.A spokeswoman for the Marines said there had been no confirmed sightings of the helicopter and that she did not have information that it had landed in a river. She said relief operations were ongoing but diminished while the search was on."Primarily we want to make sure that we get all our service members and the Nepalese service members home safely. That is primarily where the focus has been today," public affairs officer Cassandra Gesecki said.Nepal Home Ministry official Laxmi Prasad Dahal said he feared the search was diverting resources from relief and rescue operations."The work of sending relief and rescuing the injured people to hospitals has been delayed due to this," he told Reuters.Tuesday's 7.3 quake killed 67 people and destroyed many houses. Charikot, about 75 km (45 miles) east of Kathmandu, was one of the hardest-hit areas.Most of the fatalities reported from Tuesday's quake were in towns and villages like Charikot, which were only just beginning to pick up the pieces from last month's quake.
"LOOKS LIKE A GRAVEYARD"
Tuesday's quake and subsequent aftershocks forced many panic-stricken Nepalis to spend yet another night outdoors in makeshift tents and relief camps.Dahal said there were 55 dead in Dolakha."It looks like a graveyard here," Aula Bahadur Ale, the assistant administrator of the district, said."Even those houses that have not been flattened have developed cracks. People are too afraid to go into them. We are still feeling the aftershocks that makes people terrified."A police official in Kathmandu said 1,928 people had been injured in Tuesday's quake, which also killed 17 people in neighboring India.The April quake destroyed hundreds of thousands of buildings, including many ancient temples, and triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest that killed 18 climbers and cut short the climbing season on the world's tallest peak.The tremors have left areas of Nepal perilously unstable, leading to fears of more landslides, especially when seasonal monsoon rains begin to fall in the coming weeks.In Kathmandu, most open spaces were occupied by residents who set up yellow, blue and white tarpaulin sheets. Sita Gurung said her newly built house had escaped damage but she still did not want to go back."How can I take risk and stay in? Every one has come out and is living in the open," Gurung said."I'd better join them and stay safe."(Additional reporting by Gopal Sharma in KATHMANDU, Frank Jack Daniel in NEW DELHI and David Alexander and Phil Stewart in WASHINGTONashington; Writing by Frank Jack Daniel and Paritosh Bansal; Editing by Paul Tait and Mike Collett-White)
Amtrak train derails in Philadelphia, killing at least five-Reuters By Daniel Kelley-MAY 13,15-YAHOONEWS
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - An Amtrak passenger train with more than 200 passengers on board derailed in north Philadelphia on Tuesday night, killing at least five people and injuring scores of others, several of them critically, authorities said.Authorities said they had no idea what caused the train wreck at about 9:30 p.m. local time that left some rail cars mangled, ripped open and strewn upside down and on their sides in the city's Port Richmond neighborhood along the Delaware River.Survivors described scenes of horror and chaos as passengers and luggage were tossed about careening train carriages.Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter told a news conference that at least five people were killed in the accident. He later said 65 others were taken to area hospitals, six of them critically injured.Philadelphia-area hospitals and health systems collectively reported taking in 135 patients from the wreck."It's an absolute disastrous mess," Nutter said. "I've never seen anything like this in my life."Amtrak said there were 238 passengers and five crew members aboard the derailed No. 188 train on route from Washington, D.C., to New York. Seven cars, including the engine, left the tracks, according to the mayor."I cannot say everyone is accounted for at this time," he said, briefing reporters again well past midnight.The national government-backed passenger rail line provided no other details about the circumstances of the accident. It said Amtrak service along its busy Northeast corridor between New York and Philadelphia had been suspended. Nutter later said he doubted the service could be restored through Philadelphia this week.CNN quoted the Federal Bureau of Investigation as saying there was no indication that terrorism may have been a factor in the derailment. Three law enforcement officials contacted by Reuters also said they have not encountered anything suspicious. The weather was fair at the time of the crash.“We do not know what happened here. We do not know why this happened,” Nutter told reporters. "There's no information about that." He later told CNN there was no indication that the train derailed due to a collision with another train.He also said the train derailed on a curved stretch of track, adding: "We have no idea what kind of speed we're talking about."Television footage broadcast on MSNBC showed dozens of emergency workers scrambling around the wreckage with flashlights, with train cars strewn about in a zig-zag pattern. Photos from the scene showed emergency personnel loading injured people onto stretchers and backboards.
OFF THE RAILS
Former Pennsylvania Congressman Patrick Murphy, who was a passenger on the train, told MSNBC that the cafe car he was riding in flipped over, but he escaped with minor cuts and bruises.He estimated the train was traveling at about 60 or 70 miles per hour (96-113 kph) when "all of a sudden, it went off the rails."
U.S. Senator Tom Carper of Delaware had been on the train but got off at Wilmington, Delaware, before the crash, he said in a Twitter message.Passenger Daniel Wetrin, riding in the train's last car, told CNN by phone he was thrown onto the floor and into the aisle as his carriage left the tracks."Chairs were flying around, people were flying, bags, pretty chaotic," he said. "There were two people above our heads in the luggage rack."Moments later, people came to their senses and after a couple of minutes they managed to open a rear door and walk off. He said there were no major injuries on his carriage.Port Richmond is a working-class neighborhood that has recently become a popular place to live among younger adults in the city.Sharon Achuff, 51, who lives along the tracks about 200 yards (meters) from the wreck, said she was sitting on her front stoop when she saw a bright, flashing blue light, followed by a loud boom.In a video posted on social media, passengers could be heard crying and others were telling victims to crawl forward.The National Transportation Safety Board said it had launched a "go-team" to investigate the crash and that they were gathering information.The crash was the latest in a series of rail accidents on heavily traveled passenger train routes over the past year.In March, 21 people were injured in Los Angeles when a commuter train struck a car that turned in front of it, a month after 50 people were hurt and an engineer fatally injured when a Los Angeles-bound Metrolink train struck a pickup truck.In February, six people were killed and a dozen injured when the Metro North commuter train they were riding in north of New York City hit a car stalled on the tracks during rush hour. The driver of the vehicle also died.(Reporting by Curtis Skinner in San Francisco, Scott Malone in Boston, Peter Cooney in Washington and Steve Gorman in Los Angeles; Additional reporting by Frances Kerry and Mark Hosenball in Washington, Howard Goller in New York and Colleen Jenkins in Charlotte, N.C.; Writing by Steve Gorman; Editing by Eric Walsh, Ken Wills and Tomasz Janowski)

CHARIKOT, Nepal (Reuters) - Hundreds of Nepali troops searched for a missing U.S. Marine helicopter with eight people on board on Wednesday, a day after the second powerful earthquake in less than three weeks killed scores and sent panicked residents rushing out of buildings.The Himalayan nation is still reeling from last month's devastating quake measuring 7.8 that killed more than 8,000 people and injured close to 20,000.The U.S. helicopter was delivering aid in Dolakha, one of the districts hit hardest by both quakes, on Tuesday when it went missing with six Marines and two Nepali troops on board.In the district capital Charikot, relief and military helicopters brought people wounded when buildings collapsed and landslides struck in outlying hamlets to an open-air clinic where they were treated on bloodied tarpaulins.On one flight was Uttav Nepali from Singati village, where there was a large landslide under which authorities believed people were still buried. He said only a handful of houses were left standing."I was outside when the quake struck. Bricks and the top floor of my shop fell down and crushed my arm and back," Nepali said, as he sat among villagers from other communities and waited to find out if he was headed to Kathmandu for treatment.The helicopters alternated between evacuating and helping find the Marine Corps UH-1Y "Huey" helicopter, which lost radio contact after its crew was heard talking about fuel problems.A Nepali military official said it appeared the helicopter might have come down in one of the rivers that snake through valleys in Dolakha district east of the capital, Kathmandu.
HUNDREDS SEARCHING FOR HELICOPTER
Six other helicopters joined hundreds of ground troops in the search for the missing aircraft."The info we have is that it is down in one of the rivers, but none of the choppers has seen it yet," Major Rajan Dahal, second-in-command of the Barda Bahadur Battalion, told Reuters in Charikot."There are 400-plus of our ground troops looking for it also. By this evening, we might get it," he said.A spokeswoman for the Marines said there had been no confirmed sightings of the helicopter and that she did not have information that it had landed in a river. She said relief operations were ongoing but diminished while the search was on."Primarily we want to make sure that we get all our service members and the Nepalese service members home safely. That is primarily where the focus has been today," public affairs officer Cassandra Gesecki said.Nepal Home Ministry official Laxmi Prasad Dahal said he feared the search was diverting resources from relief and rescue operations."The work of sending relief and rescuing the injured people to hospitals has been delayed due to this," he told Reuters.Tuesday's 7.3 quake killed 67 people and destroyed many houses. Charikot, about 75 km (45 miles) east of Kathmandu, was one of the hardest-hit areas.Most of the fatalities reported from Tuesday's quake were in towns and villages like Charikot, which were only just beginning to pick up the pieces from last month's quake.
"LOOKS LIKE A GRAVEYARD"
Tuesday's quake and subsequent aftershocks forced many panic-stricken Nepalis to spend yet another night outdoors in makeshift tents and relief camps.Dahal said there were 55 dead in Dolakha."It looks like a graveyard here," Aula Bahadur Ale, the assistant administrator of the district, said."Even those houses that have not been flattened have developed cracks. People are too afraid to go into them. We are still feeling the aftershocks that makes people terrified."A police official in Kathmandu said 1,928 people had been injured in Tuesday's quake, which also killed 17 people in neighboring India.The April quake destroyed hundreds of thousands of buildings, including many ancient temples, and triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest that killed 18 climbers and cut short the climbing season on the world's tallest peak.The tremors have left areas of Nepal perilously unstable, leading to fears of more landslides, especially when seasonal monsoon rains begin to fall in the coming weeks.In Kathmandu, most open spaces were occupied by residents who set up yellow, blue and white tarpaulin sheets. Sita Gurung said her newly built house had escaped damage but she still did not want to go back."How can I take risk and stay in? Every one has come out and is living in the open," Gurung said."I'd better join them and stay safe."(Additional reporting by Gopal Sharma in KATHMANDU, Frank Jack Daniel in NEW DELHI and David Alexander and Phil Stewart in WASHINGTONashington; Writing by Frank Jack Daniel and Paritosh Bansal; Editing by Paul Tait and Mike Collett-White)
Amtrak train derails in Philadelphia, killing at least five-Reuters By Daniel Kelley-MAY 13,15-YAHOONEWS
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - An Amtrak passenger train with more than 200 passengers on board derailed in north Philadelphia on Tuesday night, killing at least five people and injuring scores of others, several of them critically, authorities said.Authorities said they had no idea what caused the train wreck at about 9:30 p.m. local time that left some rail cars mangled, ripped open and strewn upside down and on their sides in the city's Port Richmond neighborhood along the Delaware River.Survivors described scenes of horror and chaos as passengers and luggage were tossed about careening train carriages.Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter told a news conference that at least five people were killed in the accident. He later said 65 others were taken to area hospitals, six of them critically injured.Philadelphia-area hospitals and health systems collectively reported taking in 135 patients from the wreck."It's an absolute disastrous mess," Nutter said. "I've never seen anything like this in my life."Amtrak said there were 238 passengers and five crew members aboard the derailed No. 188 train on route from Washington, D.C., to New York. Seven cars, including the engine, left the tracks, according to the mayor."I cannot say everyone is accounted for at this time," he said, briefing reporters again well past midnight.The national government-backed passenger rail line provided no other details about the circumstances of the accident. It said Amtrak service along its busy Northeast corridor between New York and Philadelphia had been suspended. Nutter later said he doubted the service could be restored through Philadelphia this week.CNN quoted the Federal Bureau of Investigation as saying there was no indication that terrorism may have been a factor in the derailment. Three law enforcement officials contacted by Reuters also said they have not encountered anything suspicious. The weather was fair at the time of the crash.“We do not know what happened here. We do not know why this happened,” Nutter told reporters. "There's no information about that." He later told CNN there was no indication that the train derailed due to a collision with another train.He also said the train derailed on a curved stretch of track, adding: "We have no idea what kind of speed we're talking about."Television footage broadcast on MSNBC showed dozens of emergency workers scrambling around the wreckage with flashlights, with train cars strewn about in a zig-zag pattern. Photos from the scene showed emergency personnel loading injured people onto stretchers and backboards.
OFF THE RAILS
Former Pennsylvania Congressman Patrick Murphy, who was a passenger on the train, told MSNBC that the cafe car he was riding in flipped over, but he escaped with minor cuts and bruises.He estimated the train was traveling at about 60 or 70 miles per hour (96-113 kph) when "all of a sudden, it went off the rails."
U.S. Senator Tom Carper of Delaware had been on the train but got off at Wilmington, Delaware, before the crash, he said in a Twitter message.Passenger Daniel Wetrin, riding in the train's last car, told CNN by phone he was thrown onto the floor and into the aisle as his carriage left the tracks."Chairs were flying around, people were flying, bags, pretty chaotic," he said. "There were two people above our heads in the luggage rack."Moments later, people came to their senses and after a couple of minutes they managed to open a rear door and walk off. He said there were no major injuries on his carriage.Port Richmond is a working-class neighborhood that has recently become a popular place to live among younger adults in the city.Sharon Achuff, 51, who lives along the tracks about 200 yards (meters) from the wreck, said she was sitting on her front stoop when she saw a bright, flashing blue light, followed by a loud boom.In a video posted on social media, passengers could be heard crying and others were telling victims to crawl forward.The National Transportation Safety Board said it had launched a "go-team" to investigate the crash and that they were gathering information.The crash was the latest in a series of rail accidents on heavily traveled passenger train routes over the past year.In March, 21 people were injured in Los Angeles when a commuter train struck a car that turned in front of it, a month after 50 people were hurt and an engineer fatally injured when a Los Angeles-bound Metrolink train struck a pickup truck.In February, six people were killed and a dozen injured when the Metro North commuter train they were riding in north of New York City hit a car stalled on the tracks during rush hour. The driver of the vehicle also died.(Reporting by Curtis Skinner in San Francisco, Scott Malone in Boston, Peter Cooney in Washington and Steve Gorman in Los Angeles; Additional reporting by Frances Kerry and Mark Hosenball in Washington, Howard Goller in New York and Colleen Jenkins in Charlotte, N.C.; Writing by Steve Gorman; Editing by Eric Walsh, Ken Wills and Tomasz Janowski)
