Update Investigation Underway in Fatal Train Crash in Crozet

Federal investigators are working to determine what caused an Amtrak train carrying Republican lawmakers to crash into a trash truck in western Albemarle County.

First responders were dispatched to the train crossing on Lanetown Road around 11:18 a.m. Wednesday, January 31. The train’s engine slammed into a Time Disposal garbage truck, killing one person.

The chartered train was carrying GOP legislators, staff, and security from Washington D.C., to an annual retreat at the Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

Albemarle County police say two other people on the garbage truck were taken to University of Virginia Medical Center with serious injuries.

Congressional Institute spokesperson Jessica Twohey said one congressional member was sent to the hospital, and two other people from the train were examined. Amtrak had reported that two passengers and two train crew members were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

The UVA Health System announced around 4:30 p.m. that a total of six patients were transported to the UVA Medical Center from the train accident. One patient is in critical condition, four patients are being evaluated, and one patient has been discharged.

A nurse on the scene told NBC29 that one person had died, however officials with Albemarle County have not mentioned a fatality at this time.

Arizona Senator Jeff Flake said they were moving at a pretty good speed when they felt the impact. He described it as everyone being thrown around the train car, then he and other members jumped into action to help the injured.

"Brad Wenstrup [of Ohio] and Dr. [Bill Cassidy of Louisiana] also were off. They were working on the man, the deceased. CPR was performed for a long time, but it didn't work. And then the other person was severely injured. It looked as if they were on the back of the truck and the driver survived and was able to walk to the ambulance," Flake said.

The senator said he helped the seriously injured person for about 20 minutes before helping them to an ambulance.

Kerri Heilman's home backs up to the train tracks, and she says she was home trying to get her dogs back inside when the collision happened.

“I heard the train beeping and coming, but typically, you know it’s just a couple of horns, and this was just constant. Like the horns were just blaring blaring blaring. And so I got my dogs in, and then I heard an enormous crash, and when I looked out the window I saw the train coming to a stop, and it had definitely hit something,” she said.

A different neighbor told NBC29 that a tarp-covered body was in her yard hours after the crash.

Once the train left the accident scene in Crozet, it came back to the Amtrak station in Charlottesville so the uninjured passengers could board buses to go on to West Virginia.

Dozens of people along with Charlottesville and Virginia State Police watched from West Main Street as passengers got off that train. Bomb-sniffing dogs could be seen checking the buses before people got on.

Senate Sergeant at Arms Frank Larkin calls the response to the accident superb: “It certainly tests our metal and our preparedness, but again this is what the training is all about. This is what the interagency cooperation is all about,” he said.

Two members of Congress who represent parts of central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley - 5th District Congressman Tom Garrett and 6th District Congressman Bob Goodlatte - were not on the train. Garrett was at his office in Washington, D.C. when the collision happened, while Goodlatte opted to drive separately to the GOP retreat. Both representatives issued statements about the crash, offering up prayers for those involved.

Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and the Transportation Security Administration will be examining the train's engine and the scene of the crash.

Federal records show a previous accident occurred at the Lanetown Road crossing in 1999. In that case, a CSX freight train hit a truck that was stuck between the tracks. No one was injured in that incident.

The crossing does have a signal with flashing lights and arms to block the crossing. Those were down across the road, at least after the crash.

Amtrak train involved in a deadly crash in Crozet

At 11:17 a.m. this morning, the Charlottesville-UVA-Albemarle County Emergency Communication Center received a call indicating that a train ran into a truck at Lane Town Road & Marymart Farm Rd. in Crozet, Virginia, a town in Albemarle County.

Albemarle County Police and Fire and Rescue responded to the scene and are there now. Three serious injuries have been reported, all related to passengers on the truck. At this time, there are no reports of injuries from any train passengers.

This incident remains under investigation and there are no further details at this time.

Jeff Flake

Congressman Tom Garrett (R-VA) issued the following statement upon learning of today’s train collision in Crozet, Virginia from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.:

"My colleagues and my friends were on the train, and it is very likely that or more Fifth District residents were injured during today’s collision. So I would ask that all take a moment today to think about everyone on the train, and keep them in your hearts, thoughts and prayers”

“Many of my colleagues were en route to the GOP Retreat when the train carrying them was involved in a collision in Albemarle County."

"While we monitor the situation from our office in Washington, our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and our first responders and law enforcement professionals who, as always, are doing their jobs and working to save lives."

NOTE: Congressman Garrett was not on the train at the time of the collision. He learned of the incident from his offices in Washington, D.C.

Brady leads Patriots back to Super Bowl, top Jaguars 24-20

Give 'em a hand: Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are heading back to the Super Bowl.

Brady shook off a hand injury and threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Danny Amendola with 2:48 remaining , rallying the Patriots to a 24-20 comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC championship Sunday.

Brady, wearing a black bandage on his right hand after needing stitches to close a cut that happened on a play during practice earlier in the week, showed no signs of being hampered.

And, with the game - and the season - possibly on the line, the Patriots star came up big again.

"I've had a lot worse," Brady said. "I didn't know that on Wednesday. It was a crazy injury. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday was a little scary. Then I started getting some confidence and today we did just enough to win."

Brady finished 26 of 38 for 290 yards and two touchdowns to Amendola for the Patriots (15-3), who'll play Philadelphia in Minneapolis on Feb. 4.

It's the eighth Super Bowl appearance for Brady and coach Bill Belichick, who have won five times - including last year's 34-28 overtime rally against the Atlanta Falcons.

"It's pretty amazing. Just to be on a team that wins these kinds of games, it's just a great accomplishment," Brady said. "I'm just so proud of everyone on our team, we made so many great plays. Defense played so great when they needed to."

Blake Bortles and the Jaguars (12-7) led 20-10 early in the fourth quarter, but couldn't hold against the defending champions. The NFL's second-ranked defense kept Brady and the Patriots at bay for most of the game, but lost linebacker Myles Jack and defensive tackle Marcell Dareus on consecutive plays on New England's winning drive.

"It's a locker room obviously with a lot of pain," Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said. "I'm sure they're hurting inside. I'm hurting. The players are hurting."

With New England trailing 20-17, Amendola returned a punt 20 yards to put the ball at the Jaguars 30. Brady hit James White for 15 yards, Amendola for 8 and then the quarterback ran up the middle for 2 yards and a first down.

On first-and-goal from the 5, White ran for a yard to set up the go-ahead score from Brady to Amendola.

Jacksonville - looking to reach the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history - had one more shot, but Bortles' throw on fourth-and-15 to Dede Westbrook was knocked away by Stephon Gilmore.

"Guys are upset," Bortles said. "It's not what anybody expects - contrary to popular belief. Those guys fully expected to win that game."

The Patriots ran out the clock, with Dion Lewis' 18-yard scamper with 90 seconds remaining sealing the victory. And they played most of the game without tight end Rob Gronkowski, who left late in the first half and didn't return.

Brady's hand was the most-scrutinized body part in Boston since his ankle before the 2008 Super Bowl, and Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling's right ankle tendon - the bloody sock - in the 2004 playoffs.

Brady hurt his right hand during practice earlier in the week.

"Of all the plays, my season wasn't going to end on a handoff in practice," Brady said.

"Mentally, it probably stressed him out a bit," Amendola said. "It's hard to throw a football with stitches in your thumb. Everybody knows how tough he is."

Some Patriots fans were worried, but not Belichick.

"He's a tough guy, we all know that," Belichick said. "But we're not talking about open heart surgery here."

Brady warmed up without a glove on his hand, and he came out throwing. He completed his first six passes for 57 yards to march the Patriots down the field. The drive stalled when Brady was sacked by Dante Fowler Jr., and New England settled for Stephen Gostkowski's 31-yard field goal.

A wide-open Marcedes Lewis gave the Jaguars a 7-3 lead 45 seconds into the second quarter with a 4-yard touchdown catch from Bortles .

Leonard Fournette gave Jacksonville a 14-3 lead midway through the second quarter with a 4-yard TD run, hushing the crowd at Gillette Stadium.

The Jaguars made some big mistakes just before halftime. Bortles completed a 12-yard pass to Lewis on third-and-7 from the Patriots 44, but Jacksonville was called for delay of game.

That wiped out a first down, and Bortles was sacked by Adam Butler on the next play to force a punt. Jacksonville was called for six penalties that cost the Jaguars 98 yards, while New England was penalized just once.

With just over two minutes left before halftime, New England's offense took over and the fans chanted "Braa-dy! Braa-dy!"

And their quarterback delivered - with some help from two big penalties.

On first-and-10 from the Patriots 40, Brady threw a long pass for Gronkowski, who was injured when he got popped by Barry Church. Church was called for unnecessary roughness, putting the ball at Jacksonville's 45.

"It was a tough call," Church said, "but you've got to go with what they call."

A.J. Bouye was called for pass interference on the next play. The 32-yard penalty gave the Patriots the ball at the Jaguars 13. After a 12-yard catch by Cooks, White ran it in from the 1 to make it 14-10.

Josh Lambo gave Jacksonville a 17-10 lead 4:37 into the third quarter with a 54-yard field goal. He added a 43-yarder 8 seconds into the fourth quarter to make it a 10-point game.

But Brady & Co. were just getting started.

After Jacksonville went three-and-out following Jack's fumble recovery of Lewis, Brady and the Patriots offense came out with a sense of urgency.

They marched 85 yards on eight plays to cut it to a three-point deficit on Amendola's 9-yard TD catch with 8:44 left. Amendola had a 21-yard catch on third-and-18 from the Patriots 25 early in the drive.

"Big play in the game," Brady said. "Ended up being a huge drive for us."

FEW FLAGS: The Patriots' one penalty against the Jaguars is the fewest called on one team in a playoff game since the 2011 AFC championship - when the Patriots were called for just one in a win over Baltimore.

BRADY'S BOUNCEBACK: Brady's passer rating during the first three quarters: 87.5. In the fourth quarter, it was 136.3.

SOLID JAGUARS: Bortles finished 23 of 36 for 293 yards and a touchdown in his first AFC title game. Fournette had 76 yards rushing on 24 carries.

Daily Blog for January 4, 2018: Winter storm 2018: almost the entire East Coast is covered in snow

A winter storm is threatening much of the East Coast with dangerous blizzard conditions.

If you live on the East Coast of the United States, know this: A major winter storm is underway.

Yesterday, almost the entire East Coast was under a winter storm watch or warning. And today blizzard conditions are expected in many coastal areas in the mid-Atlantic and in New England. It’s the last thing East Coasters are looking forward to after enduring one of the coldest holiday seasons on record.

Even Florida is experiencing weirdly cold weather, with a freeze watch or warning in place for much of the state. Wednesday, the light dusting of snow has brought some Florida cities to a standstill since they don’t have snow removal equipment or ice trucks. (Check out all the watches and warnings for each county here.)

As the storm crawled up the East Coast, it experienced a rapid drop in pressure, and grew intense, quickly. The storm now resembles something like a hurricane: a cyclone spinning around a central eye.

And you can already see the snow accumulations from the storm from space. Almost the entire East Coast is either covered in snow or by the storm.

NASA/NOAA GOES

As the storm reaches New England, it’s expected to gust with strong 30 to 50 mph winds(and could reach as high as 70 mph), bringing dangerous, power-line-snapping blizzard conditions and coastal flooding.

Boston could see a foot of snow, and officials are worried about power outages, which bring the threat of cutting heat for many residents. The storm is also causing dangerous, icy flooding in Boston and in other coastal New England areas.

New York may see half a foot of snow as well. Accumulations will decrease the further South you travel. (There are some exceptions, like Virginia Beach, which saw blizzard conditions) Though Southern cities like Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia, are only expecting a few inches of snow and freezing rain, it can quickly create a dangerous situation on roadways. And as the South has shown us before, a tiny amount of snow can cause mayhem.

Two notable things are happening right now.

The first is that it’s intensely, oddly cold in the Eastern United States.

Here’s a map modeling the average temperature anomaly (how far temperatures are from average, around the world, for this time of year). Overall, the world is 0.5 degrees Celsius warmer than average (thanks, climate change!). But parts of the East Coast of the United States are 10 degrees below normal.

Canada and the United States are currently the most unusually cold places on Earth right now. 

Climate Change Institute

This strange weather pattern has been with us for more than a week.

Remember: Winter weather is very dangerous!

CNN reports that 11 people have already died in the outbreak of winter cold throughout the country. So it’s important to stress: Winter weather is very, very dangerous. Cold temperatures and high winds are a recipe for frostbite and hypothermia. Hospitals routinely see an uptick in admissions for cold-related symptoms and heart problems in the days after a snowstorm. And then there’s traffic: About 800 people die in cold-weather related traffic accidents every year. So stay warm, stay off the roads, and be safe.

Daily Blog for January 2, 2018: What Your Email Court Says About You?

The pursuit of Zero Dark Inbox is a diligent movement to eliminate all unread messages, but what about the rest of us? 

What is the number of unread emails right now, at this moment, without changing anything in your inbox even if it's on your gmail account or your other email account such as yahoo, outlook, or AOL, That would be 3,487 in the case of Jen here, 1 in the case of Rebecca. More about what that means in a second, but first, a bit of a backstory called the New Yorker's Sylvia Killingsworth has embarked on an exploration of what she dubs in her headline as zero dark inbox or having absolutely zero unread emails or messages in one inbox.

She writes down that she's got four e-mails in her inbox, but she's aiming for that number to be zero, Like many practitioners of the "inbox zero" system, I treat my inbox like a to-do list, with each e-mail representing a task.

She's adhering to a method which is promoted by Merlin Mann, a lifehacker and proponed of Getting Things Done; essentially it's the digital version of opening all your letters and bills when receive them and dealing with them then as opposed to setting them then as opposed to setting them aside and waiting for the bill collectors to start bagging you to pay up (not that we would do that, of course).

Today i read 25,768 unread messages and it took nearly four hours to read those unread messages and I have not read e-mails in over eight months, but i had to get that done.

Make Sure you read your messages on your email account every day.
