 I'm Wolf Blitzer in for Anderson Cooper. Welcome to the podcast. 


 
A high-speed train snapped(猛吸;猛咬;突然折断) in two, some of the cars on fire. The train, which was coming from Madrid, derailed on a curve just short of the station, 218 passengers on board. We don't know how many crew members, a search now under way for survivors 1 in the wreckage 2. The death toll 3 so far at least 45, and that number could climb, dozens of people hurt, some badly. Local authorities asking for blood donations. 
 
It's unclear how fast the train was traveling, but it was capable of speeds up to 155 miles per hour. As far as what caused the crash, too early to tell, but investigators 4 are saying it doesn't appear at this time that terrorism played a part. 
 
Also, breaking news back at home as well. That disgraced former Congressman 5 Anthony Weiner speaking to reporters tonight under heavy pressure to give up his run for mayor of New York. That drumbeat began yesterday when Weiner admitted to sexting for more than a year after he resigned from Congress over just that. Inappropriate sexting. He said he's not quitting and he said it again tonight. 
 
I have been saying repeatedly to people that I thought more things would come out, that I have done this behavior, which is very regrettable and I'm very sorry for and expressed my apology for over and over again over an extended period of time, but it's now behind me.
 
And I understand you're doing your job by asking the questions, but now my job is to talk to voters about the things that ...
 
And congressman … 
 
Anthony Weiner tonight leaving an event in Lower Manhattan. 
 
On arrival, a totally unexpected, completely surreal moment. You will recall Weiner allegedly did his sexting under the screen name Carlos Danger. Today, he was confronted by, you got it, Carlos Danger. 
 
Why did you steal my name? I am Carlos. Why did you steal my name? 
 
Only in New York does that happen. 
 
But other than that, this is serious stuff, with "The New York Times" today calling on Weiner to quit the race. People far beyond New York asking a whole lot of questions, Dana Bash included. She confronted the candidate. Tonight, she's joining us now. 
 
Dana, how did it go? 
 
Well, you know, he certainly avoided reporters going in, but as soon as he finished, or he was finishing his very first event of the day, which didn't happen until this evening, by the way, his aide said, look, he will come out and talk to you all. 
 
He came out. It was very organized. He wasn't hiding and he stood there and answered about half a dozen questions. One of the key questions, of course, has been not just about his personal problems, but more specifically how he has dealt with that could impact what he really wants to be, which is mayor of New York. Listen to this. 
 
What do you say to people who say, yes, this is personal, but it's beyond personal, it's also an issue of judgment 6, and do you have the judgment to be in Gracie Mansion 7?
 
It's a fair question and people have to answer that question for themselves.
