The family of a New York woman who was head of a Philadelphia educational software startup has confirmed that she was one of seven people killed in the derailment of an Amtrak train.



Rachel Jacobs' family called her death "an unthinkable tragedy" and said in a statement it "cannot imagine life without her."



The 39-year-old mother of two and ApprenNet CEO had been traveling home to New York.



Jacobs previously worked at McGraw-Hill, leading the expansion of the company's career-learning business into China, India and the Middle East. She also worked at Ascend Learning, another education technology firm.



Her family called her "a wonderful mother, daughter, sister, wife and friend."

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter says he's frustrated to learn how fast the Amtrak train was going in a 50 mph zone when it derailed, killing seven people.



National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt says the train was traveling at 106 mph when the engineer hit the brakes Tuesday night.



Nutter says part of the investigative focus has to be on what the engineer was doing.



Gov. Tom Wolf has praised the city's response to the derailment.
