derailing today. the frightening accident may also cripple tomorrow's commute. don knapp is in concord tonight. don. >> reporter: ann, the bart train jackknifed as described to us by bart earlier today. you can look up the embankment and see the 8th and 9th cars a of a 10-car train. they are continuing to work on this throughout the night. they have a plan in place. a very large crane gingerly lifting two of the cars that derailed outside the concord bart station and put them back on the tracks. crews on the scene all day getting them back in service. the track has been tied up since two cars derailed about 9:20 a.m. this morning as the training was pulling out of the station. >> just started shaking back and forth. moving around. and it almost felt like we were going over stuff.

and one of the ladies that was sitting next to me was like, i don't think we should be moving right now and she started getting up and that's when we started panicking. >> reporter: causing significant track damage and engineers are trying to decide if work in the area played a role. >> this is the first train to start single tracking and when it was crossing over to go into the single tracking mode that's when the slow speed derailment happened. >> reporter: about 65 passengers were on the train who went to the hospital with back injuries. police officers happened to be on the platform at the time and helped evacuate passengers before firefighters arrived. >> we had moved down a cars and then we had a ladder to go down sort of thing. >> reporter: here is the plan. people get on the train hopefully a little bit earlier than usual if they are coming from pittsburgh bay point. they will get off the train at concord, get on buses, ride the buses to pleasant hill then get back on the train.

at least that's the contingency plan. it will take about 20 buses to unload that train in the morning and expect things to go smoothly. he expects the job to get done tonight. >> don knapp in concord, thank you. stay with cbs5 to see how your commute might be impacted. join us for the latest on this story. cbs5 early edition begins tomorrow morning at 4:30 a.m. dramatic new images of friday's tsunami hitting damage are still coming in. take a look. tsunami waves pushing into a narrow bay and black water flowing over an embankment. everything washed away. cars, vans, houses. then streets were turned into raging rivers. the boats in the bay get caught in the flow and some were

crushed when they are forced under an overpass. numbers staggering. more than 10,000 people estimated dead. millions of households without water or electricity. hundreds of thousands of people homeless. the latest now on the disaster that japanese officials are calling the worst crisis since world war ii. >> reporter: in this town on japan's northeastern coast is nearly wiped out and in the area near there authorities now fear 10,000 people may be dead. when the ominous black sea attacked this island nation on friday it left behind a massive trail of destruction that is getting worse by the hour. in oil refinery quake zone it is simply being left to burn down, nobody to fight the fire. entire towns are flattened. others still smoldering. most roads in coastal areas now useless. nothing, not cars, not boats is where it should be.

this woman at one of dozens of makeshift shelters said "my home is gone completely and it is dangerous to go back there ." yet people are being saved. these three pulled from a car. they had been stuck for more than 20 hours. this 60-year-old man was found clinging to what was left of his roof. he had been floating 9 miles out to sea for two days. some barely cheated death. this man jumped in a cab telling the drive to outrun the oncoming tsunami. >> he wanted to stop at stop signs and i just kept yelling, go, go, go, you don't have to stop. >> reporter: all along the coast conditions in cities and towns are becoming dire. 1.4 million households without water. 2 million without power. food and gasoline are running out. japan's automakers are shutting down their plants saying there is no way to get the cars out of the country even if they made them. the prime minister is calling this japan's biggest crisis since world war ii still

optimistic saying "i'm very confident that the japanese people will come together and overcome this difficulty." it will take sacrifice. the government is now rationing electricity. rolling blackouts begin tomorrow including in tokyo. also here in tokyo the stock market is expected to reopen for the first time since the quake and once it does it is widely expected to plummet. now, that will be a below to an economy here in japan that was fragile even before this disaster. ben tracy, cbs news, tokyo. the agency for international development has sent a variety of supplies, experts and rescue workers. among them two urban search and rescue teams. one from los angeles, another from fairfax county, virginia. each team has 75 members and six dogs trained to detect survivors.

>> dogs are trained to find people under the debris. they will stand and bark to let us know they found something. >> several other conditions including britain and germany have sent teams with rescue dogs. and new concerns tonight about the radiation being released from the japanese nuclear plant damaged so badly by last week's quake. linda yee has the latest on threat and whether it places parts of the u.s. in potential danger. >> reporter: another hydrogen explosion rocked the crippled t fukushima nuclear power plant. this follows yesterday's hydrogen blast in the unit 1. the complex is broken into two sections. four with faulty reactors and another area with three damaged reactors out of six. the first reactor exploded and officials feared pressure building up and now unit 3 has blown. more than 180,000 people have been evacuated from the area.

up to 160 may have been exposed to radiation. officials are trying to reassure people saying the radiation is not life threatening. >> we were frightened. but the radiation turned out to be nothing to worry about. >> not everyone believes this. and there are three-hour waits to check in for a flight to escape the area. now the japanese ambassador to the united states concedes part of the fuel rods inside the power plant may be melting. but as with 3-mile island in 1979 there may not be a crisis. >> there was a considerable melting of the core but essentially all of the material was contained in the concrete containment. namely very little of it was released. >> reporter: the nuclear regulatory commission says the west coast of the u.s. is not in danger. >> even if there were a significant release it would be dispersed probably before it came to the united states but at the present time it seems unlikely that there will be a major radio active release. >> reporter: as long as the

reactor core is covered during pooling it is less threatening to the public as each day goes by. linda yee, cbs5. >> the japanese government is passing out water and food. residents in sendai received tomatoes and bread from the government. convenience stores that suffered only moderate damage remain closed simply because they don't have anything left to sell. the bay area's japanese community is rallying to help japan. consulate officials say it is not clear yet what is the best way to help but it is obvious money is need and many are ready to give like the owner of this restaurant who will donate part of the proceeds from his four restaurants. at the buddhist temple in japan town they will donate through various organizations. >> on proportions of hurricane

katrina and worse so we will provide support for the long- term and not just the short term. >> among the group's accepting donations are the japanese community center in san francisco, the red cross and national buddhist churches of america. the disaster in japan is dominating the news but libya are still in the headlines. new information tonight about that tour bus crash. how witnesses disagree with the bus driver about what happened just before the bus flipped over. i'm meteorologist lawrence karnow in the cw weather center. we have had the rains, gusty winds. even a couple lightening strikes tonight. what else can we expect? we will talk about that coming up. ,,,,

another icon of the 60s culture died. he died in a car crash in australia yesterday. he was a sound engineer for the grateful dead but was the producer of lsd. his drug reportedly inspires some of the music by the dead. jimmy hendricks and frank zapa. his family says he was driving with his wife when they ran off the road and hit a tree. standley was 76 years old. government loyalists in libya today using warships, tanks sweeping rebel forces from a key oil town. now the government is headed for the last remaining rebel stronghold. mark phillips shows us where that is. >> reporter: the ante gadaffi rebels never had much series

military equipment and what they did have now lies destroyed along the roadside. evidence of a retreat that threatens the area. the government advance has now moved past it and onto braga. the road toward bengazi seemed lightly defended as well. there is nothing the rebels with their light weapons can do to stop the gadaffi event. it may already be too late for anti-gadgadaffi forces. >> we don't have the weapons. >> reporter: this is the furthest point of advance. this town. the only evidence they were here is a shot up police station they had presumably occupied. the town itself is completely empty. the only sign of this conflict are some celebrating pro-

gadaffi soldiers. these are trophy towns the regime is showing off. a libyan army spokesman said bangazi is next but that a major assault won't be needed. >> these are very limited people. >> reporter: but that's just what the people of bengazi fear. >> when gadaffi comes here, nobody will be left. all of them will be dead. investigators looking into saturday's deadly tour bus crash are getting conflicting information as they try to figure out what caused the accident. 14 people were killed when the bus flipped over in new york city. it hit a light pole that nearly sheered the top off the bus. authorities say passenger and eyewitness testimony contradicted the bus driver's version of events. the driver initially told police that a tractor-trailer clipped the bus. the passengers have reportedly told authorities the driver was

speeding and swerving even before the accident. well, two of the boats that sank in the santa cruz harbor during friday's tsunami have been recovered. a total of 18 boats sank when the wave came in after the 8.9 quake in japan. crews are evaluating the area and are prioritizing the recovery effort. the coastguard said the safety zone around it will be enforced until safety conditions improve. $17 million of damage to the harbor and not including the boat. the harbor in cressents city is also closed tonight as officials gauge the damage caused by the tsunami. it was hit by an 8-foot wave. crescent city is a fishing industry town but the harbor master said this morning there is no fishing economy in the counties right now. governor jerry brown declared a state of emergency for some

counties. if a big, tsunami hit the bay area or if an 8.9 quake struck here. how prepared are we? today volunteers taking on a six-week course put on by emergency responders and learning how to protect themselves and help others during major disasters. >> emergency services are going to be taxed and these small programs of community members with some basic training can really help us out and do some basic life saving measures. >> the program has been up and running for two years now. it has caught more than 100 volunteers over that time. >> finishing up the weekend with some rain. lawrence is here to tell us if our workweek will start with rain. i think so and may keep going and going and going. we saw that rain sweeping in across the bay area especially in the afternoon hours. out there right now. yes, rain and fog mixture as we look towards the building.

we continue to see heavier amounts of rainfall showing up right now. another band of moisture sliding on through. pockets in the cells could produce lightening strikes. next couple of hours keeping an eye on that. scattered showers showing up around the bay area and another band making its way along the peninsula. making its way towards redwood city and in towards san jose. scattered light showers now but they had some more rainfall move through early on. a band is now pushing onshore. so with that in mind it looks like we are going to continue to see more showers overnight tonight. going to keep things unsettled and a bit on the wet side around the bay area. not only tonight but looks like just about the next seven days. temperatures right now, fairly mild. these storms originating with some tropical moisture so really not all that cold outside. i think if you're traveling around the state we will keep things mild. you will see showers in sacramento and if you plan to head to the high country you

are going to see a wintery mix. we have got weather advisories above 7000 feet. rain and snow though down at lake tahoe and you'll see rain and snow mix continuing into tuesday and then we could see some real snow developing everywhere with some colder air on wednesday. here is your system making its way through. keeping things going overnight tonight. maybe even some showers lingering into tomorrow morning and then looks like we will catch a brief break before the next storm system starts to set itself up. we are dealing with lots of rain on and off for the better part of the next seven days and it will just continue. overnight tonight, taking a look at the models. scattered showers into midnight and after that going to be hit and miss throughout the night. the commute tomorrow. not that bad. just maybe scattered showers out there as we head through the morning hours then that will taper off. i think the skies part as we head through the middle part of the day. temperatures really going to be fairly mild. a lot of numbers by the afternoonmorphing well into the 60s in many places inland as high as about 63 degrees in

livermore, 63 in san jose and 62 degrees in oakland. so, with that in mind as we look towards the next few days we will see yet another storm move in. come tuesday probably about the middle of the day in the afternoon on tuesday going to see the rain really kicking up around the bay area then from that storm system some leftover showers into wednesday. now, it will be interesting after that we have got a much colder storm system that is going to dive into the bay area and that's right, back to some more wintery stuff and we could see snow levels down to 3000 feet locally. more rain event expected on friday. into saturday. and into sunday. i know it looks pretty ominous. it is not going to rain solid that entire next seven days. there will be breaks in between those storms. >> we will look for the sun. >> all right, lawrence, thank you. some iphone users may have a little extra spring in their step today with extra sleep. they were running as late as two hours late after their devices failed to spring forward overnight. reports surfaced of users
