This is the guy that apparently took the curve at 35+ MPH over the speed limit:
The engineer driving the Amtrak train that derailed Tuesday night has been identified as 32-year-old Brandon Bostian. The attorney for Bostian, a Queens, New York, resident, confirmed his identity to ABC News.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Bostian has worked at Amtrak for nearly nine years, the first half of which he spent as a passenger conductor before he became a passenger engineer in December 2010.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said today that the engineer suffered unspecified injuries and received medical care. Bostian initially spoke with investigators Tuesday night.
He was treated at a hospital and then released and transported to the Philadelphia Police Department.
He later declined to provide a formal statement to police and requested a lawyer, which he now has. What he told police or other investigators was not released.

How could he possibly survive? Wasn't he at the very front of that twisted pile of metal?
Maybe he jumped?
The engine separated from the rest of the train and did not sustain the catastrophic damage cars 2 & 3 (especially) did
When you look at the picture the engine is upper left between 2 white trucks
