was a 34-year-old woman who died and 108 others are recovering from injuries at the after that new jersey transit train crashed into the rail station at the lackawanna terminal in hoboken this morning. investigators developing into a went wrong. obviously a lot of questions and many more to come in the days and weeks ahead. >> to shed light on all of john behind a railroad accident investigation joins us on the phone. >> join, you're a former engineer. thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> clearly it's very early. but right now, what are investigators zeroing in on? >> well, obviously the first thing that jumps out to everybody why was this train exceeding the speed limit, and so whoever was at the controls, um, may have had some issues and so many different options there and obviously the concerns it sounds like early on is health condition of some sort, but again, this all boils down to the word preventive that just keeps popping up in everybody's interviews and everybody's statements. here we are with the fifth busiest hub in the united states for rail transportation, and we don't have positive train control. so it's a little -- i just don't understand it. >> john, let's talk about that, because obviously that's always been brought up that was brought up in that deadly amtrak derail in many philadelphia. recently here. i mean could ptc have helped today? >> you know, i would have to say yes right off the top. i don't know all the facts about what they did have in place. it sounded like they had a cap signal system which is just something that alerts the on board personnel of what signals may be coming up and what precautions should be taken, but that's still puts all in the hands of that one individual. and in this particular instance, the engineer is running from the end of the direction of movement but the engine is actually on the rear end of the train shoving the train. it's a push pull movement they use, and who knows if maybe somehow he didn't lose remote control corresponds with that rear locomotive. that's another option. i mean there's lot of options. >> right. >> so you can't point fingers at anybody right now. i wish the best for everybody. it's frustrating in you're the children of the 34-year-old mother who's not coming home tonight. the word preventible will still in your could have for long time if they come out tomorrow and say, yes, ptc would have prevented this. >> john, you brought up a point. aside from ptc, you've got one individual in charge of this enormous machine. so if something happens to them, something like this could happen, so of course an airplane, we have a captain and co-pilot. we have two people there. in case something happens. so do you think something like that on a train would help out? >> absolutely. you know, it's always the case four eyes are better than two. but in this industry, the workload is pretty concentrated. these guys have very rigorous schedules and lifestyles, and you have very -- large amount of rules to adhere to. you have structures out on the track you have to watch out for. you have signals to read and just a lot of thing going on, and i think, you know, me personally i do believe that it's too much for one person. especial whole you're transpor transporting 250 people at a time. i mean that's pretty crucial. >> all right. john behind we appreciate the inside and the time. >> well, thank you guys. >> you're welcome. of course, we'll be on top of this story. it's breaking right now. new details coming in left and right. we'll have a news conference very soon that we will break into as soon as that happens. for the very latest updates 24/7 go to fox29.com you'll see the story right on our home page. >> let's get were tock your fox 29 weather authority now. i know kathy orr is checking on flash flooding going on. kathy isn't we're watching this really carefully. the two counties i'm very concerned about are sussex county, delaware, also kent county, delaware and now i'm watching cape may county just because of that persistent on shore flow and because of the rain that's fallen on top of the other heavy rain we've had over the past 24 hours. everything moving toward the north and slightly toward the west and a little bit of a break right here in central parts of burlington and also camden counties but that will be filling in once again. so as we take a zoom you can see the very heavy rain along the delaware beaches with gusty winds and this may just end up raining itself out like the focal points staying through cape may county, kent county and sussex county, delaware, because really that's where the bulk of it has been throughout the day and it really has not progressed northward that much. coastal flood warning in effect until 1:00 a.m. for coastal flooding at times of high tide along the shore between seven and 9:00 o'clock so street flooding is expected. live outside of our studios you can see some umbrellas some windshield wipers going at a moderate clip because of the rain that's falling out there right now. it is light. it's cool and it's very windy. temperature 63. the high for the day 65. but look at this sustained wind east northeast at 22 miles an hour. gusting over 30 miles an hour. so wind quite a factor out of the east northeast at 33 miles an hour in philadelphia. dover a persistent wind out of the east at 41 miles an hour. that's the way it's been all day and i do expect it to be that high this evening fox future cast does show some pockets of heavy rain during the period and this continuing to lift toward the north. possibly moving through philadelphia i kind of think we'll be on the light to potential moderate side for rain this evening. that's just about it with that heavy rain staying to the south. the very latest on hurricane matthew. this category one storm is moving west and that is expected to take a turn toward the north over the next couple of days into the weekend and head toward cuba as a very powerful and dangerous category two storm. when we add on the spaghetti plots it's very interesting where all of these hurricane models take the storm. heading up the eastern seaboard. so we'll keep a careful on on matthew into the middle to late period of next week. so for tonight in the city 60. 56 in the suburbs. rain some heavy additional accumulation of about one to 3-inches of rain where the heaviest rain falls. tomorrow 66 occasional showers and then slowly we see an improvement the atmosphere is kind of locked right now not much is going to change until an area of low pressure begins to move. some scattered showers saturday. still a chance of rain sunday. you see those temperatures inching up. monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, as long as that hurricane stays away, we'll see temperatures in the 70s and some sunshine. just the way it's supposed to be this time of year. we'll send it back to you. >> all right, kathy, thanks. continuing coverage now the deadly new jersey transit train crash national transportation safety board holding a briefing in hoboken. let's listen in. >> the canopy of the building is on top
