  • Moments later, at 9.21pm on Tuesday, the train derailed killing eight
  • At 9.05pm Tuesday, a different Amtrack train reported being struck in a window by an unknown object
  • At 9.10pm Tuesday, a northbound SEPTA regional rail train reported it had been 'hit by a rock or shot at' in the windshield
  • All three incidents happened within a few miles of 30th Street Station along the same stretch of track outside Philadelphia
  • FBI investigating damage to the 'left hand lower portion' of the windshield on the derailed Amtrak Train 188
