This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley, reporting tonight from washington. Pelley each day, more than a million and a half people commute into manhattan in a complex choreography that movest before the sun. But this morning, a new Jersey Transit train that should have been crawling into its final stop, instead bolted through a barrier and rammed into the t waiting area of hoboken terminal, collapsing part of the centuryold building. Only one person was killed, but 108 others, including the engineer, were injured. Jim axelrod is in hoboken, just across the hudson fromss manhattan. Of rush hour this morning in a station 15,000 commuters passmm through each day when, at 8 45, chaos engulfed the new Jersey Transit terminal in hoboken.

As it entered the station, it continued beyond the tracks, sending the four cars crashing through a main concourse barrier, then launching airborne into the platform area. Inside the train, passengers like kirby fisher could not believe what was happening. It was like a big crash. And then everything from thest ceiling just fell in. Reporter Jamie Weatherhead saul was in the first car. There wasnt even a screeching, like it was halting. And people started screaming, and it was like completelypl thrown from one area to the next. But because it was so crowded, there wasnt much where to go. Reporter thirty feet away, michael larson, a new jerseyoy transit employee, was standingat on the platform. It was just initially a horrendous, horrendous exploding noise and concrete dust,o electrical wires, and the train flying into the depot. Killed, a woman from hoboken, was not a passenger on the trais but was standing on the platform when she was hit by debris. New yorks Governor Andrew Cuomo we know what happened. We dont know why it happened. The train, obviously, came in at too high a rate of speed. It didnt stop. It went through the barriers. When you see the destruction up close, the Silver Lining is tha, theres only been one fatality thus far. For something hopeful amidst all the trauma, jumped in to help. Kaboom lp the whole place shook, just shook. And everybody got quiet. When i turned and i ran out and i slid, i looked to the right, and i just saw people all over the ground and debris and a everything all over the place. It was like we were a family. When you say americans, man, im not lying. Everybody, creed, color, ran and tried to help. Reporter that engineer who survived the crash, his name is thomas gallagher. Hesye he was taken to the hospital, but was later released, and tonight, scott, were told mr. Gallagher is, indeed,n cooperating with investigators.

Reporter new Jersey Transit says the engineer, 48yearold thomas gallagher, was in front of the first car as it came the n. T. S. B. Hopes to interview gallagher and will reconstruct his last 72 hours, including a look at his medical history. Federal Health Screening requirements for train operators are among the lightest, requiring only a hearing and vision check every three years. The rest is up to the railroad. The n. T. S. B. Has called for stronger standards. We will look at whether there was positive train control installed and all of the aspects related to that, before we come to any conclusions. Reporter railroads are under a federal mandate to install p. T. C. Technology, that can slow or stop a speeding train to prevent collisions. This train did not have p. T. C. Technology. Congress pushed the deadline for installation to at least 2018. Federal regulators say new Jersey Transit has yet to submit a plan to install the expensive safety technology. Mark rosenker chaired the n. T. S. B. When the p. T. C. Requirement was enacted. Positive train control, if all the mechanical systems were station. Reporter now, these trains have an alerter, or sometimesr called a deadmans switch, thatt requires the operator to acknowledge an alarm at a regular interval, or that system will stop the train. Scott, at this point, new Jersey Transit wont say if that technology was in use. Pelley kris van cleave for us tonight. Kris, thank you. Now, to the president ial campaign.

Allow some form of early voting, either in person or boy mail. More than 40 of iowa voters took advantage of it in 2012. Ha enough for the Obama Campaign to know even before election day that he had won there. With 26,000 volunteers in iowa alone, the Clinton Campaign is hoping its superior grouam ng will make up for a demographic g disadvantage. You will put that inside the voter affidavit. Reporter a larger share ofte working class voters than any any battleground state. They tend to favor trump, who she painted today as a richic miser who might not pay taxes, like the clintons do.
