injured more than a hundred people in hoboken on thursday. we've got diana glass, but tamara, you caught up with one of the survivors on the train. what have you got? >> he was sitting in the first car behind the engineer's box. he survived not only this crash, but he was also a survivor of 9/11. i went to his house in new milford to speak with him. he didn't want to go on camera, he's still recovering from some injuries, he allowed me to take some pictures and ask him some questions. i asked him if there was anything different from this ride than every other time. what was different was that the door was open. he said, normally, the engineers are locked in that little room, and there was a clear view of the tracks. i was actually appreciating the scenery as we were going down the tracks. they were approaching the station at the normal speed, and then he stood up and put his bag over his shoulder. just as i stood up, there was a huge explosion. basically, the whole roof had collapsed, and i was on the floor lodged underneath. i asked him, after going through this, is he hesitant to ride the train again, and he said, no, because this was an accident. he'll be back on the train on monday. i just can't imagine surviving both those things -- >> he's either incredibly lucky or incredibly unlucky. thanks, tamara. diana, you were with governor christie covering his statements about the tragedy in hoboken. >> right. so new jersey governor chris christie gave us insight on the investigation which he said won't be completed for another 7-10 days because investigators right now can't even get in the hoping hoboken station. >> not safe for anybody to be in those trains right now doing an investigation. until we clear that away and all of the hanging wires. >> there's been some criticism over maintenance and safety. he says these sorts of accidents are very rare for new jersey transit. >> they have a very good safety record, but no accident is acceptable, so we have to get to the bottom of what happened, and i promise you that we will. >> this governor and his administration have been sitting on, for years, recommendations from the federal government about upgrading safety measures and brake on these trains -- brakes on these trains. they a actually got the federal government to push back the deadline because nj transit was too incompetent and inefficient to install the recommendations when they came through. we don't know this is what caused this accident. honestly, you'd think the governor would be as angry as the rest of us. >> not only that, governor christie would appoint the jersey transit head, and they haven't had a head for almost a year. they haven't had a board meeting in the past three months, and we have a $4 million budget gap they haven't addressed. >> what i'd like to see, dig into this more, what kind of incompetence and inefficiency is going on that these guys can't seem to get out of their own way. to me, the answer lies somewhere in there. sergio hates donkeys for some reason, we don't know why. >> bill, another day, another sighting of creepy clowns across the country and right here in new jersey. this phenomenon's taken hold so greatly that the police departments has taken it upon themselves to put out a statement saying, yes, we're aware that there are creepy clowns out there. right now there are no reports of school lockdowns or people being at risk. they are on the scene, they are looking for any clowns that will pop up. but right now the public is not at risk, thank god. i cannot keep looking at you. >> do they have a description of the clown? >> blue hair, missing teeth. >> interesting.

[laughter] you can even google to dress better. [laughter] but, definitely, it's just very important for you to present yourself in a way where people look at you and know that you're about your business. >> well, that's a story, as always. tweet me your thoughts and stay with me on twitter @diana blass for all your updates on governor christie. >> the bridgegate trial on friday turned into an expose of jersey politics at their worst. a star prosecution witness david wildstein talked about project after project out of port authority funds that was allegedly sent to towns throughout new jersey to gain support for governor christie's political future. now earlier, wildstein had talked about steel from the destroyed world trade center and flags that flew over the site that were allegedly used as lures and enticements to mayors that might endorse christie. so i went just across the river into north arlington where there is a beautiful 9/11 memorial featuring prominently a piece of steel from the twin towers. i wanted to know if this was part of the campaign wildstein had talked about, so i talked to the former mayor, pete massa, the a democrat and former cop who served two terms in office. >> when i used to say when i was an internal affairs investigators in the police department, one guy gets in trouble, three guys cover it up. instead of one knucklehead in trouble, there's four. >> i met him for coffee at a local diner. massa said one of the witnesses in the bridgegate trial, indeed, came to him in 2013 with a similar endorsement pitch like the one the administration gave the may record -- mayor of fort lee. >> and he said, would you consider an endorsement for the governor? i looked at him with a little smile, i said, quite honestly, mattie, i'm a democrat. and after that there was no further discussion. >> also no retaliation, no bridges closed, no nothing. and the mayor also said that the steel was never part of the deal, it was actually received by the town's fire department who sent a truck to new york city on 9/11. this makes sense especially for a town that had a mayor that was only a four out of ten on the scale that christie aides prepared of mayors that were likely to endorse the governor. i decided to let massa know what the administration really thought of him and showed him this exhibit that had been displayed in the trial of a spread sheet that the administration had made. you were a four. >> gee, i thought i'd be higher than that. >> worked with the governor when he was u.s. attorney. said he liked and admires the governor. he's ending the time of mayor, in parentheses, getting old -- >> okay. >> and they may make him more likely to endorse a republican. at the end of the day, did north arlington receive world trade center steel for political reasons? maybe not. but even if they did something for the right reasons, the right thing was done, and now there's a beautiful memorial overlooking manhattann that will be there long after chris christie leaves office. for all the updates on that trial, follow the show @chasingnews. >> hello. my name is iowa maya. >> video of her skills have garnered tens of thousands of gawkers. >> i love that they call her a -- why princess? >> she balances the strength and the courage of a baller with a dignity, poise and grace of a when it comes to risking social security on the stock market... pat toomey wrote the book.

>> yeah. i went to the statehouse. governor christie announced an agreement to fund the transportation trust fund by raising the gas tax by, as we said, 23 cents a gallon in what he and senate president steve sweeney and assembly speaker say will offset the cost of the hike for working families across the state, they're going to eliminate the estate tax and reduce the sales tax by three-eighths of a point by 2018. but, of course; once the bill is signed by the governor, the gas tax will go into effect as soon as next week. >> i thought we already went through this. this got shut down in june. why are we going back through it again?

aren't we already the highest-taxed state in the entire country? and now the governor thinks it's okay to saddle working class, middle class commuters with more money out of their pocket? it's an absolute outrage, and he calls himself a conservative republican? it's laughable. and i think what's worse is that he did it on a friday night on the eve of a jewish holiday knowing that people aren't paying attention. i guess this is what you get in trenton from politicians that are more interested in padding their own pockets and protecting their own friends than standing up for you. the gas tax, round three. you can bet that we're going to talk about this on "chasing news" all next week and, of course, it's like the show writes itself. monday morning on new jersey 101.5, i'll be talking about this. it's time to stand up to this nonsense and let the governor and the legislators know, no more taxes. we are already overtaxed past anyone in the entire country. stand with me. more to come. >> sometimes you meet somebody that you just know is going to be a star. for me, that's amaya. she plays basketball with a passion, the heart and the skills of best of 'em. and she's only 6. >> hello. my name is samaya, and i'm from brooklyn. >> this little girl can dribble two basketballs at once, shoot layups and three-pointers all while blindfolded. when her father noticed her skills, he put them up on instagram, and the fame began. >> the main goal is to focus on her education since school started. >> the sky's the limit, right?
