NN MALE REPORTER (voice-over): “We’ve been showing all night some pictures from former Congressman of Pennsylvania Patrick Murphy who tweeted some pictures. He was on that train that was headed from Washington, D.C. to New York. Let's listen to what he talked about this former Iraq war veteran, about what it was like when all of this happened.”
MURPHY: “I mean, it felt like a bang, but then we just -- we, you know, I was facing south. We were going northbound. I was facing southbound as I was in that cafe car, like a little table area, and I felt like we went that way then the other way and once we went [indecipherable] side, we just flipped over. And then it was just dark and just dusty, and just a lot of blood.” 
NN FEMALE REPORTER (voice-over): “And that Iraq war veteran's training kicked in and he helped all of these people off that car. Amazing. He And he was also tweeting out these pictures after he had made sure everybody else was safe.”
