death. there was no communication whether the train was actually going stop. we didn't know it collided. we thought something exploded. >> reporter: the engineer who was operating the train was also critically injured. he is at a local hospital and cooperating. >> the governors of both new york and new jersey vowed to work together to get to the bottom of why this happened but said for now it's too early to know. >> there's no real point as to speculating what happened. why did the train come in so fast. was there medical condition? what happened with the conductor? we have no idea. >> reporter: at least initially there's no evidence of terrorism. >> we have no indication that this is anything other than a tragic accident. >> reporter: now if there's any good news in all of this

investigate this morning's deadly crash. they will start the process examining everything to try and figure out how and why that train crashed into the terminal. investigators will look at everything. the question will we be loo, at positive train control. absolutely. ptc has one much our priorities. we know that it can prevent accidents. whether it is involved in this accident, that is definitely one of the things that we will look at carefully. >> the ntsb has suggested that positive train control may have prevented that deadly amtrak derailment in philadelphia last year. eight people were killed in that accident. the train involved in today's accident did not have the technology it needs to be installed on us railroads by the end of 218. meantime a bit closer to home commuters are

the train the deadly crash at hoboken during the height of the morning rush. >> from what i've read, the train never slowed down. so that's really quite disturbing. >> reporter: anita, takes the train regularly to new york city for work. she says her first thought was it could be terrorism. >> i would say i probably most people in this area that commute to new york have been in a well-maintained state of anxiety since 9/11. i don't think it ever really goes away. this i hospital was some sort of tragic accident. not that that's good, but at least it's better than the alternative. >> reporter: authorities say there's no reason to suspect terrorism and that is a relief to jeremy rivera had takes the train three times a week to go to school in manhattan. >> i always think about with the bombings and, you know, this crash and stuff i always think about what may happen. i'm always kind of, you know, on point with everything going on it round me. >> reporter: news of the hoboken crash has left some rider as little leary today, most say they rely on the train to get where they are going and will continue to do so. >> i think the -- i take the train every day down here, and what are the odds it will happen twice in one day. the train did come in extra slow to trenton today than it usually does. >> it's sad. it's sad. it's a concern every single day. but, you know, still got to go to work. >> reporter: i think the one thing that commuters want who i talked to they want answers. they want to know exactly what went wrong so they can try to make some sort of sense of this tragedy. iain? >> all right. dawn, thank you. today's crash just the latest of deadly crashes in our area in recent years. of course, there was the crash of amtrak train 188 back in may of 2015. that train

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

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

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

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,
