We spoke to a gentleman just a little while ago and he described what it was like when he walked outside of that train. Im alive.

Tom, give us some context and some insight of what your a seeing. Reporter well, its absolutely horrific. You know when you see it from the air, it is just astonishing the damage that you are seeing on television of course. When you see it firsthand, its really just an amazing scene. Listen, the ntsb is going to have its hands full in conjunction with federal railroad authorities. They have a lot to look at here. Theyre going to be as you know downloading the data from the black boxes looking at exactly all of the trains data as it relates to speed. Speed performance as it relates to how it was how fast it was moving through that corner. Theyre also going to be looking at the performance of the individuals, the conductor, if you will also the engineer. Was there any evidence of anybody perhaps texting or perhaps drinking or theyll do a full toxicology report on everybody. Theyll do a fine forensic analysis of all the train pieces if you will. Theyll try to put it all back together again. Is there any evidence in the twisted metal that would suggest they had a rail problem or a wheel problem. The list of possibilities here is great and long but as we have seen over the course of the years through these investigations, very often it can be something youre not expecting whatsoever. There was a case about 15 years ago or so in which they as they did the full analysis they came to realize the problem was that the engineer actually was diabetic and because of that he was not able to see colors was not able to see the changing colors, if you will on the signals. They thought that that may have contributed to a crash. So sometimes it is the least thing that you would expect. That is tom costello from nbc news. We appreciate the insight and giving us some context. Lets check in with nbc 10 Traffic Alert reporter first alert traffic reporter Jessica Boyington with how this impacts your commute this morning. Jessica . Thank you vai.
