another £300,000 for that, with ten transplants involving deceased donors and five involving live donors. and of course, thejourney of this first patient in the uk isn t over. she is hoping by this time next year, hopefully, to have a healthy baby. time next year, hopefully, to have a healthy baby- healthy baby. fergus walsh, our medical editor. one of the schoolchildren rescued from a broken cable car in pakistan yesterday has said he feared it would be the last day of his life. police have arrested the owner of the cab car and the operator. all eight people in danger were pulled to safety after dangling some 900 feet over a river canyon for several hours. caroline davies has the latest from islamabad. the final rescue, waiting arms and shouts ofjoy, palpable relief on the ground to see all back on firm earth. ,, ~
investigative team. today investigators from the recorders group sat down with the metro north official familiar with the accident route and this territory and reviewed the date a from the cab car. from that meeting, we ve determined the metro north mechanical department performed a proper brake test prior to the accident train leaving the station, and there were no anomalies noted. in addition, the crew conducted what s called a running air brake test shortly after leaving the station and, again, no anomalies were noted. we also looked at the data for each of the station stops along the route and saw no anomalies or degradation of the braking performance as the trip went along. simply put, based on these data, there s no indication that the brake systems were not functioning properly.
days. they re investigating speed and human error as possibilities. speed is being looked into. there is a sharp curve in the tracks and just before the area that was 30 miles an hour, the zone where the incident happened, it was 70 miles an hour. there was a sharp dropoff. take a listen. we don t know what the train speed was. we will learn that from the vehicle event recorders. incidentally, we have recovered the event recorder off the cab car. we have downloaded the data off the locomotive. we ve not had a chance to analyze it or verify it at this point. reporter: we re getting a look at some of the victims. james lovely, a 58-year-old father of four. he was headed to rockefeller center, to prepare for the annual tree lighting. a a 4-year-old paralegal. and a 35-year-old nurse. and james ferrari, a 59-year-old. at last check, an additional 63 people were hurt.
brake pressure and the time of that again, please. the brake pressure went to zero five seconds prior to the stop to the complete stop of the locomotive. the brakes are held off by pressure so at 120 psi, the brakes are held off. when the pressure diminishes, particularly when it goes to zero, full braking application happens. you think the application occurred before the train derailed or after the train derailed? don t know that at this point. the mechanics of this, can you explain to us how it works, the engine s at the back and the engineer might be i guess at the front of the train, how does he operate the train? okay. last question. how does he operate the train in a pusher configuration. the engineer is in the cab car up front. okay. what, is there are there lines that run back? there are controls that run back to the locomotive because all the power is at the locomotive.
