| Four passengers sue Amtrak over deadly Philadelphia derailment | |  Four passengers on the Amtrak commuter train that derailed in Philadelphia last week filed a federal lawsuit on Monday against the U.S. rail service, as operations resumed on the heavily travelled Northeast Corridor. The lawsuit, filed in Philadelphia, cited "serious and disabling" injuries from the May 12 derailment that killed eight people and injured more than 200 others. A Federal Bureau of Investigation examination of a circular pattern of damage to the windshield of the derailed Amtrak train found no evidence it was caused by a firearm, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Monday. Train engineer Brian Bostian, 32, who suffered a concussion, told investigators he has no memory of what occurred after the train pulled out of the North Philadelphia station, just before the crash.
