Amtrak resumed service across the Northeast corridor today less than a week after a deadly derailment left 8 dead and 200 injured. Payouts for lawsuits related to the crash could hit the $200 million limit put in place by Congress for a single crash. There’s new evidence that someone may have thrown or fired something at the train before the crash. The FBI is investigating that possibility as the engineer insists he doesn’t remember much of the crash. Two other trains were hit with objects about the same time as the crash. Apparently it’s a common occurrence on the tracks near Philadelphia.

Secretary of State John Kerry is blasting North Korea for a variety of issues today. He is visiting Seoul, South Korea and threatening the North with more sanctions for its belligerent behavior. Kerry is criticizing the North’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and submarine nukes, its “grotesque” executions, and its disregard of international laws.

Meantime, Kerry’s visit with the Chinese didn’t go so well. China is refusing to give ground on its aggressive new military maneuvering in the South China Sea. China has been building manmade military islands inside disputed maritime territories. We also learned this weekend that China has dramatically expanded its offensive nuclear weapons capabilities with multiple warhead nuclear weapons designed to outsmart U.S. anti-missile technology.

You’ll remember analysts say Kerry also got played on a trip to Russia last week.
