Rescue crews searched the mangled wreckage for victims Wednesday as investigators tried to determine why an Amtrak train hurtled off the tracks in a crash that killed at least six people, injured more than 200 and plunged screaming passengers into darkness and chaos.

Investigators recovered the train's data recorders and said they expected them to yield crucial information, including how fast it was going as it rounded a sharp curve and derailed in an old industrial neighborhood not far from the Delaware River shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday.
