Philadelphia is still dealing with a devastating and deadly Amtrak train crash last night, and the National Transportation Safety Board has already begun its investigation.

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter appeared on CNN earlier this evening to talk with Wolf Blitzerabout the accident and reports that the train was late and the engineer was speeding to make up for lost time. Nutter said “you’d almost have to be an idiot” to do that, and scolded the “reckless” endangering of passengers’ lives.
