here are the stories we are following for i you. a train derailed in new york city and injuring 63 and killing four. >> demonstrators try to take control of the thai government headquarters. >> we begin with a breaking news out of the bronx. >> where a metro north train passenger train derailed earlier this morning.

ffdny is reporting four fatalities. these are live pictures for you. the emergency vehicles are on the scene but most of the injured has already been taken to area hospital. right now the fdny are saying there are 63 reported injuries. of those 63 h 63, he is 11 willl condition. what ca can you add to this. the police and fire department officals are coming and going. we know this investigation is ongoing in determining what has happenedmenhappened. i just want to point out a

couple of other things in the last update received. three of the -- i'm sorry, three of the four fatalities were thrown out of the train is what they have said. and one was actually found inside of the car. they did mention too the metro north, if you picture this insite of thinsite ofinside of . there is three seats and two seats. and obviously some of these have over turned. they did say they have had to cut some o of these passengers t of the train. and whether they got trapped under the seat or not i'm not sure. that is what we do know. and also somebody asked police commissioner kelly if there was any possibility that somebody could be still trapped under the train. he said they haven't ruled that out. he didn't think so. they have combed the area several times the nypd and other

respondenters havresponders hava several times. he believes they got everyone. he didn't confirm or deny that there is a point that there still could be somebody under the train. i think they'll be looking at these cars very carefully. >> iit seemed he had to leave te possibility of that. it's been difficult to nail down how many people were on this train because people get on the train and get off the train. they have not had a manifesto on trains like this. it's not like it's plane. exactly. >> exactly. it's a lot harder to track. they said more than 100 and we know that 63 that were sen 63 wo hospital and four fatalities. and 11 people seriously injured as i mentioned to you this

morning one eye witness that lived up on the hill was really frightened when she heard the train go by and all of the commotion because her daughter was to be on the m metro north train going to the city to grand central. there are a lot of people trying to make contact. they have asked people to call 311 if they are having a hard time finding their family. that woman was thank fulful thar daughter was not on that train. she heard it and looked at the situation and saw a lot of the rescue efforts that was happening. >> she was one of the lucky ones that her loved one was not on that train. we are going to play some sound an amazing story from sole one - some woonesomeone that was on tn

she is actually okay. she survived the ordeal. >> i was sitting on the train and not paying attention to anything in particular and then the train felt a little more sideways and then when i looked up it was going off the track. i was in a lucky car i was in the one that landed 90 degrees sideways and no one was hurt and we all got out okay. i didn't realize the state of the other cars until i got out and i could see everybody. >> she described herself as being in "the lucky car". fortunately no one in the car she was in bass killed. was killed. you were reporting on the fact that there was one car in particular that all of the fatalities were in this one particular car. >> right. they did tell us that all of the four fa fatalities happened in e first two cars.

how those were divided i'm not exactly sure. but, you know, as we can see and as we have been looking at the whole day, these are protes prey badly beat up cars on their side. i'm sewer tha sure that this won "the lucky car" is really also counting her blessings today. >> i'm sure she is. great reporting all morning. morgan radford has been reporting from the scene and morgan, tell me about this advantage point that you have been able to get. >> richelle, i'm literally crouched inside of the window of this woman's apartment. she has an incredible view you will not see anywhere else. i'm going to ask our photographer zoom in here you see the train turned over. this is the first car it

appears. you can see the fire car gathering, i'm not sure if they are around something rite now. >> you can see inside of the door of the train. you can see how close to the river. this train hit this curve too quickly and the first car derailed and caused the second and third car to tip over. you are getting numbers that are updated on fat fatalities and injuries right here. >> morgan did she hear this or see this? tell me more about what her witness account is. right. >> right, she allowed us inside of her home. she heard something and thought it was a plane crash. she declined to be on camera right now. she was nice enough to let me in her home and give us this

astonishing view for al jazeera america. >> that is probably going to be her view for quite a few days to come as the investigation is just beginning. morgan radford live from the scene. the govenor held a press conference where he confirmed the fatalities and the crash. >> four people last thei lost ts today right after thanksgiving during the holiday season. they are in our thoughts and prayers and their families have not yet been notified. we are getting reaction from some of the passengers on the train. one passenger spoke about the incident moments ago. >> well when we got here naturally it was a traumatic scene. we had people in cars and we had to use some of our air bags to lift portions of the train we had to use cutting equipment. and as the gofe govenor said to reiterate. we have four da fatalities and 3

injuries. >> obviously that was the fire chief that you actually heard. he was on the scene along with the fire commissioner. let's return to the scene with kilminamane. >> >> hi richelle i'm so close to the scene herement. herhere.the fire department offe wheeling some equipment on a stretcher out of the scene there. therthere is still police comind going. they have moved the media up the hill. american red cross is driving in as we speak and also some more police are filler a filtering i. we know they are still trying to evaluate what has happened here. i actually earlier walked to the

other, what we are seeing are the images of the four cars. i walked around the hill to the other side and saw other cars in the back half of that laying on their sides. and everything is completely off the tracks. so, it really just looks like a scene out of a holida hollywood, these train derailless. derailm. it's a sharp curve jumpin judgim that. we heard from other passengers they felt the train was going very quickly. inot sure if that played in the factor or not. >> a lot of these commuters ride the train everyday. that eye witness spoke earlier too that she noticed a little bit that the train felt it was tipping.

people can definitely feel the difference when they are on autopilot and they commute all the time even if they are not looking up. their accounts will be certainly a key part of the investigation and we'll talk moor more about e investigation. we are talking to tawte todd cun the phone. people are speculating on how fast the train was going and that is something they'll be able to nail down right away, correct. >> perhaps not right away. there are black boxes on the train and it's not clear if the speed data would be accurate for the time of the accident. real. really. >> this is the history of these devices sometimes they have accurate data and sometimes they don't until the ntsb has a chance to examine those boxes i am not going to speculate if they will have all of the information they need to answer

those questions. >> even if they don't have it in the black boxes they may be able to reconstruct the accident given the evidence on the tracks right now to determine how fast the cashe cars had to be going o derail the way they did. >> it seemed like the police commissioner ray kelly said that there was one train operator and three train conductors. does that sound right? do i have the terminology right? >> well that is a question i had in my own head. i don't know what they mean by a conductor. i am assuming tha at that condur are the people taking the tickets and such. and if that is the terminology they're using you have several people to deal with several cars full of passengers when it comes to tickets and that sor sort of

thing. and at least one person driving the train. unlike aircraft trains are typically driven by one person at a time. >> when you say driven what does that really mean in mo modern technology when you say driving the train. again it depends on the train. there are some trains, let's say the stanle subway trains the moe modern trains in the last 20 years or so, you may not have an operator in the train. it happens in the modern systems not in the older systems. but typically for the commuter train or subway train you would have a single operator per train or per train car. >> the ntsb is going to be on the scene within 45 minutes. they are supposed to be there about noon. this type of investigation, when

you look at how huge the scene is. when you lon look look at the consequences and the aftermath of what happened, is it fair that this type of investigation could take months and months. >> it would be fair to say that. typically their accident investigations for trains or aircraft or other modes of transport that they do cover, it takes them several months or more. and given the severity of this. i was looking at recent studies they did it has not past been several months or over a year before they have a report on it. i don't expect them to have a definitive account within the next few weeks. however with all of the fact fal data the speed and how many people were on board will come out quickly. in a matter of days or weeks we'll have that basic base infon what happened and the extent of

the damage the wh. the why questions will take longer to answer. todd curtis our transportation contributor your expertise has been so needed this morning. needed because we have been talking about what you see here. the train derailment of the hudson live the metro north rail. four people lost their lives as a result of what you see here. we are expecting another press done for instancconference somes morning. wwe know the ntsb will be here o start the investigation here. the what and why of the train derailment in bronx, new york. keep it on al jazeera.
