Billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump, who has indicated he's likely to seek the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2016, took to Twitter on Tuesday night following the Amtrak derailment to tell followers that he is the only candidate who has the know-how to fix the country's antiquated infrastructure.
Some 40 minutes later, he responded to a follower who asked if politicians were unable, who then might solve "the country’s horrible infrastructure problems."
Replied Trump:
The Northeast Regional Amtrak train carrying 238 passengers and five crew members was en route to New York from Washington, D.C., when it derailed in Philadelphia.
The New York Times reports that at least six people were killed and dozens were injured, including six people in critical condition. As of 1 a.m. Wednesday, officials had yet to account for everyone on board, according to the Times.
