good morning. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm jon kelley. we're working on a developing story? spain, incredible new video to show you just into the newsroom, the moment a passenger train jumps right off the tracks, smashing into that guard rail wall and killing at least 78 people right now injuring 141 others. this happened over in spain. we've just confirmed several american passengers were on board that train when it crashed. marla tellez has been all over the story and is live in the newsroom. rescue workers searching through all those smashed cars and they say it is possible this death toll unfortunately could go higher. >> yes. here we go. when looking at that video, jon, it's hardly to believe the death toll isn't worse than it already is. almost 220 people were on board the train when it crashed about 375 miles northwest of madrid which is where it originated.

we'll show you the security cam video again. the clip was just released this morning showing the moment of impact. while it's tough to gauge speed from that clip, at least two spanish media outlets report the train was traveling at more than twice the speed limits. earlier reports say it was going 120 miles per hour when the speed limit was just 50 miles per hour in this zone. this is not confirmed by spanish authorities. however, officials do confirm terrorism has been ruled out as a possible cause. what you've been looking at now is more of what the scene looks like today. it's just after 3:00 in the afternoon in spain on thursday as emergency crews literally work to pick up the pieces of the aftermath. also the cranes have been hauled in to lift the wreckage from the tracks. just into the newsroom within the last 15 minutes, the u.s. embassy from madrid reports five americans are among the injured. more than 140 people said to be injured and at least 78 people dead. so far the embassy has not

received any reports of american deaths. embassy officials saying they are working to determine exactly how many americans were on board. we've also just learned how the prime minister plans to honor the victims of this deadly train derailment. i'll talk more about that in my next report at 6:45. 6:03 right now. a damaged gas line and a glitch in the community alert system. this morning repairs are done, but there are new concerns in alamo after an emergency evacuation alert meant for only a few neighborhoods wound up going out to everyone in contra costa county. "today in the bay's" christie smith is live in alamo. christie, county leaders and businesses raising concerns about large-scale and unnecessary evacuation. >> reporter: yes, good morning to you. they're saying it went out much farther than it needed to. i want to show you one silver lining in this, especially if you live in the alamo area. that is that danville boulevard is back open this morning.

east bay mud was out here all night and fixed the waterline. the gas line is fixed, too, but there are still questions about how this happened and why people were notified in such a wide area. east bay mud says that pg&e did not properly mark the pavement to let them know where this line was. pg&e says it asked the utility to use hand tools to dig into the street because their workers weren't sure exactly where this line was in the first place. now, alerts were sent out before noon to evacuate after east bay mud hit the gas 8@line. notification went out and a county supervisor says that the community alert system did work. another alert system sent a text message to people out of the affected area. we spoke with a man in danville who says he got a severe text alert, it said to evacuate now. he took it very seriously and even told co-workers. >> i came here to inform all7b' co-workers, and they looked at the text message and we swiftly

evacuated everyone out of the premis premises. that's when we're evacuated the store and went to santa cruz. >> reporter: now, emergency workers did evacuate a three-block area. but leak was actually about three miles away. the supervisor says the integrated public warning system had a glitch in it. they were updating the system and had not alerted, let the county know to use that updated system, so people were alerted in a much wider area than may be necessary. reporting live in alamo, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> we also have more new video into our newsroom, a wild scene at the end of a high-speed chase that ran from oakland to san leandro. this is the scene at the end of the crash near the intersection of williams boulevard and orchard avenue. you can see the water spraying into the air. the suspect's car hit a fire hydrant at the end. you can see all that gushing right out onto the road as the emergency crews there try to handle it. it all started in oakland when officers told our photographer

they tried to stop that car at about 2:00 this morning after hearing gunshots. the driver and a passenger, they were both taken to the hospital. no word yet on the exact injuries. 6:06. union city police looking for more possible victims after they arrested a suspected flasher. authorities say 27-year-old zenaido gonzalez exposed himself to a 14-year-old girl outside niles liquors on tuesday afternoon. he was arrested at his home about a mile away after he confessed. he also admitted to exposing himself to at least eight other people in the area. gonzalez is out on bail this morning. a state agency is investigating six flags discovery kingdom in vallejo after investigation the park is polluting nearby waterways. vallejo environmentalist doug darling says the park has been polluting the lake and the streams for years now. he says three years ago he

that would be east 80, probably heading to one of the two accidents here. let me show them to you. the low clouds not presenting much of an issue for the drivers. the speeds westbound through berkeley just fine. slower through the incline. we're likely to see the metering lights on any second at the bay bridge toll plaza. this is backing folks up westbound in your commute direction through richmond, right around barrett at the off-ramp, reports of a crash and maybe another one closer down to the golden gate fields area. i didn't see the flashing lights stop there. they continue up toward barrett. that looks like that's where the focus of the activity. two cars reported from chp in lanes. crews are heading over there. two crews just arrived, they may be moving to the shoulder quickly. that backup started. another crash has been reported to chp as well that could cause another slowdown for the upper east shore. there you go, our sensors showed you speeds coming down below 60 for the yellow zone. north 680 reports of a new

issue, maybe a stall for the benicia heading into the north bay. we give you a look at travel times. speeds are looking pretty good throughout the tri-valley. speed coming into livermore, that's the slow drive. once you get into livermore, you're in the upper 50s. from grant line over toward livermore avenue is where the slow drive is. a live look outside, things picking up for the south bay. i . 6:10 right now. coming up, all eyes on you. hear why you might have a police record on file in palo alto even if you haven't done anything wrong. could today be the day that facebook actually goes above its ipo price? big stock moves today. we'll take a look coming up. plus an olympic blessing from the pope. may make you bay area proud. we'll tell you about today's grand gesture in the heart of brazil next.

welcome back. here are today's top stories. about half an hour ago, the pope raising the flags at the city palace of rio de janeiro. pope francis visit ag slum and addressing about a million young roman catholics on copacabana beach. we're getting a dramatic new look at the deadly train crash in spain. it shows the moments before and after the train derailed killing at least 78 people. the cause of the crash is under investigation. there are reports the train was traveling too fast through the area. just hours ago, crews repaired broken gas and waterlines that led to a frightening text alert in contra costa county. the county issued an alert in alamo yesterday. but it went out to some people

outside of that affected area with very little detail and it scared a lot of people. the county seems to think a glitch tied to a computer upgrade is to blame. a police patrol car in palo alto is creating continue searcy this morning because it's now equipped with technology that can automatically read your license plate. "today in the bay's" bob redell live in palo alto this morning to explain. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, laura. this is raising concerns over a big brother. palo alto police department started on tuesday using a patrol car outfitted with one of these. you can take a look at it. they just showed it to us within the past hour, an automatic license plate reader. if you're not familiar with the technology, it's basically four cameras on top of a squad car. as the squad rolls through town, that camera system records and scans the license place of all surrounding vehicles and immediately alert the officer if there's a stolen other lost

vehicle or alert to a car registered to someone with an outstanding arrest warrant. it also records the license plate data of innocent people as well and stores that data. that's where the aclu and other privacy rights advocates have a problem. the aclu said in the past it doesn't mind these readers scanning license plate numbers. it doesn't like the fact that law enforcement is storing reams of data of where you are with your car and when. when san leandro started this technology, one driver requested all the info linked to his plate. 112 images of his car came up along with the location. the chief with this department will meet with other chiefs in santa clara county to discuss how long this info is used and how long it's kept for. right now palo alto pd will store it for a year. after this meeting that number can change, maybe less, maybe a little longer. the bottom line is they're

trying to come up with an overall policy governing how this data is used and stored. reporting live outside palo alto police, bob redell, "today in the bay." on the national scene, the controversial nsa surveillance program will be continuing. at least it will be for now. late last night the house voting down an amendment that would have stopped funding the program that collects american's phone records. the obama administration, nsa officials and house republican leaders all fiercely oppose this amendment. in the senate, dianne feinstein leading the effort to change parts of the program to address privacy concerns. 6:16. the trial of private first class bradley manning is set to wrap up today. closing arguments by the prosecution and defense teams will be delivered this morning. manning is accused of giving hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the anti-secrecy group wikileaks. also new this morning, apple warning its chinese customers not to use knock-off parts.

closing bell, $25.61. $38 is the number to beat. that's the highest facebook has ever been, on its first day of trading. caterpillar disappointed investors, pushing markets lower. looking ahead, numbers at starbucks and amazon.com, a few minutes ago we got durable goods, items like kitchen appliances, things designed to last many years. only bad news i could find, first time jobless claims much higher as well. generally we ignore these numbers in the summer because of lots of car plants and factories actually shut their entire factories down to retool. those numbers don't really count very much. we'll look for amazon and starbucks. >> let's not look for the bad news. >> exactly. we'll ignore it. >> we're all about the silver lining. that's how we like to do it. speaking of that, sunshine and beautiful skies out for christina loren. >> really one of those days, not too hot. just about right everywhere.

went out to everybody in contra costa county. christie smith live in alamo. christie, county leaders and businesses racing concerns about the large scale and apparently unnecessary evacuation. >> reporter: good morning to you, jon. the gas line is fixed, the waterline is fixed. danville boulevard is back open. i just spoke with one business owner and says she's very frustrated with the emergency alert system. her business is about a half block down that way. she says she wasn't notified at all that anything was going on yesterday. in fact, she had to drive into it and that's when she saw the street was blocked off. we shot some new video this morning, and you can see the patches that were put in place here on danville boulevard. east bay mud worked here all night. alerts to evacuate the area were sent out before noon after east bay mud crew hit a gas line. a county supervisor says the local community alert system worked, but another community alert system sent a text message

to people out of the area. emergency crews did evacuate a three-square-block area as a precaution. three miles away, one man tells us he got a severe text alert that read emergency alert in thñ area until 7:45 p.m., evacuate now. but tamara trujillo told me she was returning to her laundromat and had no idea the gas leak was right on her block. >> went and called a couple businesses around my business to find out what had happened. they said there was a gas leak, there was a shelter in place. so i was waiting for some type of notification. i have boilers, i have gas dryers and all that. i'm waiting for notification. i get no notification. >> she says there was actually another leak right in the same area recently. she's lost two days' worth of business. they say the integrated county warning system had a glitch. the system was updated and the

county was not notified to use the updated systems. certainly notification uneven at best. reporting live in alamo, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> a followup to breaking news we brought you yesterday. we're getting a look at three people accused of breaking into a south bay gun store. 39-year-old tinaf&i marie guzm 27-year-old horale moreno and 26-year-old marcus moreno were arrested yesterday morning. police say the trio stole seven guns from reid's indoor gun range in santa clara. they were arrested less than a mile away from the store thanks to a silent alarm. the guns were recovered. a police patrol car in palo alto creating controversy this morning because it's now equipped with technology that can automatically read your license plate. "today in the bay's" bob redell live in palo alto. he's here to explain all. bob, people worried about big brother watching. >> that's the concern. over the past 48 hours, on

tuesday, the palo alto police department equipped a patrol car with an automatic license plate reader. that is now out on the streets, joining the list of at least 30 other bay area law enforcement agencies using this technology. if you're not familiar with how it works, as the patrol car goes through out the area, four cameras on top are scanning and reporting the license plates of all surrounding vehicles, immediately alerting the officer of a stolen or lost vehicle. it can also be set to alert to a car registered to someone with an outstanding arrest warrant. but it also records license plate data of innocent people as well and stores that data. in palo alto's case it keeps the data for a year. that's where the aclu and other privacy rights advocates have a problem. the aclu in the past said it doesn't mind that the readers are scanning the tag numbers. the issue is the fact they're keeping and storing the dat toof where your car was and when it was at that location. when san leandro pd started using the technology, we know of

at least one east bay driver who went to the police department and said i want to see all the information collected on me. over two years that police department collected 112 images of his car and its location. now, in just over a week the chief of the palo alto police department will meet with the chiefs of other departments to discuss how the info is used and how long it is kept for. the goal is to come up with an overall policy governing how long they store that data and how it's used. reporting live outside the palo alto police department, bob redell, "today in the bay." 6:56. facebook five dollars under its all-time high set during the ipo in may of 2012. >> quite the recovery. scott mcgrew, that stock number one with a bullet. >> just amazing. it's up 26% this morning. we can now call it $4.40. we are really watching facebook on the move this morning, better than $33 a share.

corral la, scott. 92 degrees inland, but not that bad. 78 bay side at the coast 67. when you consider we're done with the humidity, that's good news to one man i know, mike inouye. >> yes. not a fan of the humidity. i like this view of sunol. beautiful sunshine coming up. no problems at the golf course, but the map shows you coming in out of pleasanton. 84 through livermore as well as 580 showing an increase in volume, really very nice, very light. it's a thursday. not so bad for this morning's commute. the speeds are down below 30 miles per hour. the bulk of the slowdown, san pablo and richmond, earlier crashes have cleared. you're getting a burst of traffic through berkeley towards the bay bridge toll plaza. 6:58. a final check of the day's top stories. a high-speed chase in the east bay ended in this watery mess. police in oakland tried to stop the driver of the car about 2:00 this morning after hearing gunshots. the suspect's car eventually hit a fire hydrant in san leandro. hours ago, crews repaired
