Here is the latest news on who the victims of the Amtrak Derailment two days ago. Notice the use of the word "Victims". I have been doing some digging into this list as well- I will add my highlights and my notes to each section in my usual blue. Plus I've added quotes from other articles into this to give more details on specific people.
Below this article, I have posted a few other notes that are quite interesting.

Rachel Jacobs
Ms Jacobs, a 39-year-old mother of two, was commuting home to New York from her new job as CEO of a Philadelphia-based educational start-up, ApprenNet.
She is the daughter of former Michigan state senator Gilda Jacobs. Her family said in a statement she was a "wonderful mother, daughter, sister, wife and friend... We cannot imagine life without her."
A graduate of Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and Columbia Business School, she had planned on moving to Philadelphia.
ApprenNet just hired a new CEO. Here’s why that’s a big dealDrexel law professor Karl Okamoto has led the online learning company since its founding in 2011. The company's new full-time CEO, Rachel Jacobs, is eyeing the startup's first round of seed funding....Jacob’s hire coincides with, as she puts it, the company finding the right product-market fit. ApprenNet had long focused on the legal education industry, where educators used the product to create video-based exercises. But the legal industry isn’t embracing of this type of innovation, Jacobs said. ...So ApprenNet pivoted to focus on healthcare, higher education and K-12 teacher training. Many of those fields — healthcare, especially — are hands-on and benefit from simulation and video-based learning, Jacobs said. Its customers include Walmart, which is using the product to train its pharmacy technicians,

Monsanto EVP and Nalco (Corexit) Director are the same person
Corexit is more toxic, and less effective than most of the other dispersants BP could be using. In fact, BP continues to use it weeks after the EPA demanded that they stop using it. As of May 22, 670,000 gallons of Corexit had been sloshed into the Gulf of Mexico, which, contrary to BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward’s completely reprehensible understatement of the century, is an absolute crap load of extremely toxic sludge. In addition to the Goldman connection, the investment firms Apollo Management and theBlackstone Group are also making money on every drop of Corexit that gets dumped into the Gulf. And hey, this is probably just crazy ass blind luck, butLord Jacob Rothschild happens to be a Member of Blackstone’s International Advisory Board.

SEPTA Says Commuter Train Hit By Projectile Just Before Amtrak Train Derailed

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter says he's frustrated to learn how fast the Amtrak train was going in a 50 mph zone when it derailed, killing seven people.
National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt says the train was traveling at 106 mph when the engineer hit the brakes Tuesday night.
***
4:15 p.m.
A doctor says he was surprised to find out that nearly all the Amtrak crash victims treated at his Philadelphia hospital had rib fractures.
Temple University Hospital saw 54 patients from the accident Tuesday night that killed seven people and injured more than 200.
Temple's Dr. Herbert Cushing says he expected to see a lot of head trauma but instead the hospital had just one such case.
***
1:55 p.m.
Philadelphia police officials say the engineer of the Amtrak train that crashed, killing seven people and injuring more than 200, declined to provide a statement to investigators.
They say the engineer also had an attorney when he left a meeting with investigators. The engineer has not yet been identified.

1:10 p.m.
The Federal Railroad Administration says Amtrak inspected tracks in Philadelphia just hours before a deadly derailment and found no defects.
***
7:55 a.m.
One of the passengers on the train that derailed Tuesday night in Philadelphia says she was thrown from her seat when the car she was in turned onto its side.

An Associated Press manager, Paul Cheung, was on the train and said "the train started to decelerate, like someone had slammed the brake."
Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy was on the train and said he helped people.

Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., who was also on the train but disembarked in Wilmington, issued a statement saying: "I am grateful to be home safe and sound in Wilmington, and my heart goes out to all those on the train tonight. I hope all of those that are injured recover quickly, and I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers."

The Amtrak train that "NBC Nightly News" producer Janelle Richards was traveling on Tuesday night was going fast — but no faster than the countless other times she has ridden the rails from Washington to New York, she said.
But at one point along the track in Philadelphia, just after 9 p.m., something went terribly wrong.
"All of a sudden I felt myself fly up in the train," Richards recounted to TODAY's Matt Lauer, describing a jolt that tossed her forward and back repeatedly.
"It happened all in an instant," she said. She added that she was unhurt but "operating on shock."

Notes from Wednesday nights Transpicuous News Midweek Report:
As I said on Wednesday night on Transpicuous News: Do they make these trains out of paper mache? Look at the extreme destruction of the first car, compared to all of the rest of the cars. I Hypothesize that that first car was blown up. Sorry folks, you can convince me that this is merely a train that "lost control on a corner".
