Steve stunned commuters say it sounded like a bomb went off and that they were going just too fast coming into the station. But its unclear why. Thank you for joining us im steve aveson. And im pam moore. Pam tonight we look into whether a horrific crash like this. Could happen here in the bay area . But first tonight, we start our Team Coverage with justine waldman. She is here now with what happened this morning in hoboken. Reporter horror during the morning rushhour. People on their way to work. Waiting for the train. When suddenly. The train plows into the platform. We have also learned about the woman who died. Fabiola bittar de kroon was standing in a waiting area when the train crashed through a barrier. The 34year old was killed by falling debris. Most of the injuries were to people aboard the train. Half of the first car was crumpled, and the roof crushed down to the seats. Witnesses say people were pulling concrete off of victims. Some passengers kicked out the windows of the train to escape. It does not appear the train slowed down as it approached the station. It never stopped. We are also learning more about the train operator. Thomas gallagher worked with new Jersey Transit for 29 years. He is now out of the hospital and is cooperating with investigators. The ntsb will now try to find out what the operator was doing before the crash, and whether he was distracted. Or if there was a mechanical failure.

Nats caltrains trains weigh a Million Pounds and can reach speeds up to 79 miles per hour. It can also take up to a mile of track to bring one to a complete stop. Currently, the movement of these trains is controlled by hand. Sot the Current System is essentially manual. We rely on our maintenance crews to ensure that our tracks and signaling system are in correct working condition. But thats all about to change. In 2008, two trains collided in Southern California killing 25 people and injuring 135. The ntsb concluded that the accident was the result of human error. Just months later, Congress Passed the Railway Safety improvement act which requires most of the countrys Railway Systems, including caltrains, to install whats called positive train control or ptc.
