niles canon. that story coming up. the update on the passengers hurt in this crash and what we're learning about their condition. that's coming up. more rain moves into town. the steps being taken today to get rid of an apartment building teetering on the edge of a cliff. "today in the bay" starts right now. tuesday morning, laura garcia-cannon. thank you for joining us. i'm sam brock. >> thank you for having me. i'm laura garcia-cannon. let's get a look at that forecast. little break today. >> little bit of a break today and then ramps right back up tomorrow into the rest of the weekend. as we take this break, we can still see the rain on the radar as it approaches parts of northwestern california. it is well off shore, though. we'll take the time before it makes it to the north bay. chilly as we get started. 39 degrees in the north bay and

san francisco now at 50 degrees and looking at highs around 60 there, as well as the peninsula and the south bay. a high of 63 degrees and i'll talk about that rain. let's get a view of the north bay with mike. >> later. right now getting a break for the drive. look, dry on the sides of the road, as well. lighter flow traffic southbound. this is san rafael. let me show you the map and anywhere south of the golden gate bridge and no problem towards the bay bridge and we have one state route that is closed. state route 84 between sunol and fremont. that is closed for the time being. mission north and over towards 680 or vice versa. i'll talk more about the local impact and the reason why. i'll hand that one off to you guys. now to a developing story we've been following overnight. a commuter train coming off the rails in niles canyon and pommels into a nearby creek, plunges, we should say. several people are recovering with injuries this morning.

>> here's what we know so far. 214 people onboard. nine of them hurt, four seriously. preliminary report shows a downed tree on the tracks may have caused that derailment. >> we have our team in place to cover all the angels and we start with bob redell live at the scene. laura just mentioned a second ago, 200 plus people onboard that train and amazingly no one was killed. >> sam and laura, the alameda county sheriff's office calls it a minor miracle that no one died when that rail car fell 50 feet into alameda creek. that's a creek which has been swollen from recent rains. a sergeant describes a chaotic scene last night. passengers stuck inside, screaming. cold from the water. hurt from the crash. as you mentioned, nine people were hurt, four seriously. this was the number 10 ace train. the last train of the night for

travelers from silicon valley to central valley when it derailed around 7:30. the engine was pushing four rail cars. the engine and two cars stayed upright and a fourth car derailed and also stayed upright on the edge of the drop while the fifth car tumbled into the water. >> preliminary investigation shows it was a mudslide that may have caused the derailment. so, a lot of mud. also have to move away from the tracks that go up to the wheel of the rail cars. that will take some time and they also have to move some of the heavy equipment and the machinery that they used to be able to move or pull those rail cars out of the way. >> it's not clear how fast this ace train number 10 was traveling. we do know that generally speaking they are supposed to go slow. as you heard that spokesperson

from union pacific was talking about. there were five cars. the engine and the two cars in the back have been moved out of the way. we still have two cars that are up on the tracks. that is one that is the one you're looking at right now that is derailed. the sergeant described to us was really in danger of tipping over. clearly, that hasn't happened and the fifth car in the water. the union pacific is waiting for sun to come up so they can get bater sense of what happened to the rail and what damage happened. there is some damage and you can't tell because there is not enough light out here. we did hear from the ntsb. they are gathering information on this derailment and will have information later in the morning. it's not clear whether or not that federal agency will be stepping in to investigate. reporting live here in niles canyon, bob redell "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, bob. let's turn to "today in the bay" stephanie chuang at eden

medical center where several passengers are recovering this morning. any update on their conditions. >> good morning, laura and sam. five injuries and four more hurt that went to trauma centers. reportedly at least one of the passengers arrived last night. now, take a look at what it was like. the scary experience for the 214 passengers. this is cell phone video from one of those passengers showing just how chaotic it got. there was the pouring rain adding to the injuries and all the confusion everyone trying to safely get out with the help of firefighters pulling people off the train. but mudslides making it more difficult to rescue the trapped passengers, especially those in the front train car that was partially under water in the creek. >> all of a sudden, just some hard stops and rapid deceleration and it was just jarring. and then it just stops and then we could see mud and rocks and trees up against the side of the

train. >> one member was just under the mudslide and we were trying to dig her out while the train was hanging. it was a pretty crazy experience. >> the crazy experience, but thankfully no deaths. we heard some passengers describing people getting out of window and also the trek back in the dark from the remote area to get out of the area in general. now, this morning i also called washington health care, which i understand got an update from the media contact there. there are two patients there who suffered minor injuries. they were taken to the e.r. they were being evaluated. so, i'm waiting to get some calls back and hopefully have some updates on these passengers for you later this morning. live here in castro valley, stephanie chau ng. ace train service disrupted for possibly the next couple of days and traffic will also be impacted. >> let's turn to mike inouye with an update on that. >> right behind me is the ace train map and starts out in

stockton and goes through man teaka. a tote oal of ten stops. the impact to the train, we don't have the ten trains for the day, but folks hitting the roadway. let me show you the map. the folks zil to h s will have highway and come over through tracy. we may see more traffic flow here and we'll track that over the course of the morning but the more local and more severe impact is going to be because of the closure for niles canyon road. that's highway 84, state route 84 just off of 680 getting really local here, folks. if you get off of 680 you take it over here and head to 680, you can't get here. between main street and the closure over there, we do have that cut off now. for folks getting to the pleasanton school that is open there. and there is the train station where you catch the train of olights and access main street and not highway 84 and that is a major cut through for folks for the morning. this may send more local traffic

over towards mission north which is 238 on our local maps. this whole section right here could get a whole lot more surface street traffic and morning and evening commutes could be severe. we'll send it right back to you. we'll have more coverage of this developing story throughout our newscast. we've also posted some photos and a video of the crash site to our home page. just head to nbcbayarea.com for instant coverage and we'll also be tweeting updates throughout the morning. 5:08. a shooting near a concord mall. >> police first got to the scene outside the willow shopping center just after 8:30 last night. they found an abandoned car run up on a curb near diamond boulevard and willow way. evidence of a shooting and no victim and no suspect. anyone who may have heard or seen anything is asked to please contact concord police. finally starts to come down today. 320 has been red tagged for the

last six years. the cliff that building is sitting on has been eroding away for years and things got much worse with this el nino city. the city manager says that the property owner has not taken any steps to demolish that 20-unit building so the city is stepping in to knock it down. >> we are concerned that the building could end up on the beach below and, if so, would cost a lot more to demolish and it would also potentially hurt someone who is on the beach and also the asbestos that i mention and the lead would be exposed to the environment. >> crews will start to tear down the interior today and then the full demolition is scheduled for thursday, weather permitting. now to a look at our microclimate forecast right now. let's take a peek outside this tuesday morning. beautiful bay bridge. it's really been a wet couple of days and now more rain is on the way. >> it sure has. almost like feast or famine. right now we're feasting. let's turn to meteor also kari hall. >> during this feast, we want to

take a break and let the food settle. we will have more of this rain as we go into the next several days. look agate these temperatures today. low 60s in the south bay and mostly sunny skies in the peninsula we'll have some 50s near the coast and 60 for the inland areas and also for san francisco, we're looking at upper 50s and we'll have a chance of late-day rain in the north bay. the rest of the bay area does stay dry. we are expecting another round heading into tomorrow. won't be really heavy. we'll talk about that and what to expect as several more rounds of rain move in. that's coming up in less than ten minutes. but let's get an update now on the morning commute now from mike. >> i checked the camera and all the traffic seems to be moving well except for over here we just saw a little fog drifting off the side. let me explain, a golf course. a lot of grass off the side and drift through for a couple seconds and not major problem. 101 just off 680. we'll look at the map and show south bay no problem and the only issue on state highway 84

niles canyon road that is closed between sunol and fremont for that train crash and meanwhile the rest of your freeways and backup minor right now. >> thank you very much, mike. dangerous chemicals that drugstore. the reason local researchers say you need to stay away from certain beauty products. what if you can rate your friends the way you rate a restaurant? we'll show you coming up in "business and tech." got a tip for bay area's investigative unit incall 1-888-996 tips or e-mail. nbc bay area, we investigate. a bay area health-tech compy

is being singled out foralledlys a bay area health tech company is being singled out for allegedly putting people at risk during the ebola outbreak. ap, the associated press, we should say, obtained e-mails from the world health organization. leaders called on a san francisco startp called to help fight the outbreak. but staffers there at a tulane university made a series of costly mistakes, including botching lab results. the ceo of the company is defending what happened saying that there's no evidence that his employees were responsible for any of those mistakes. the ebola outbreak killed more than 10,000 people. be careful what beauty products you buy. that's a new warning from researchers at uc berkeley. they found most products women buy from the drugstore can be dangerous to your health. >> looking at hormone disrupting

chemicals in products like makeup and shampoo. the chemicals include failates and parabins. >> and this isn't uncommon. we all use these products and we all basically have exposure. >> what happens is that the chemicals either block or mimic other hormones like esttrogen and testosterone. but those chemicals are completely avoidable by double checking your ingredient list and opting for more organic products. a controversial new iphone app is live this morning. >> scott mcgrew is sort of like yelp for people. >> which means you can rate your friend really well or really poorly and thus the controversy. a couple screen shots i made this morning as i downloaded it to my iphone. feel free to rate me however you wish. one person said it's like linkedin for your life.

rank people based on datability. it's abusive behavior. let's check in with a top notch person who would never post anything mean online. landon d oowdy live at cnbc world headquarters. good morning, landon. >> of course, not, scott. good morning to you, as well. wall street could have a tough go as the dow and s&p 500 posted a fifth positive day on monday and partly due to a big jump in oil prices. the crude is still near $38 a barrel. that is a two-month high. prices are up 45% and setting a low of $26 in february. the dow rising 67 points to 16073. the nasdaq slipping to 4708. scott, back over to you. >> thank you. is international women's day and in some countries it's a paid holiday. in's a holiday for women only. if you showed up to work and none of the women were there, i guarantee it would be a

difficult day getting anything done. this newscast would not get on the air. speaking of air, the flight to saudi arabia was flown today by three female pilots, maybe not unusual here in america, but, remember, these women were landing in saudi arabia. air india celebrated today by crewing a flight from deli to san francisco entirely with women. all-women crew. that flight landed in san francisco after 17 hours in the air. it set the record for the longest flight by an all-women crew in history. the remarkable thing to me is not who is flying the plane, it is a 17-hour flight. >> that's a long one. holy cow. >> exactly. >> says the guy who always flies in the most plush conditions. 17 hours, scott. how many movies did you have to watch? >> i don't care what seat you're in. >> very nice. well, millions of people are about to get a break from the sun.

a lunar eclipse is expected tomorrow. >> that is when the moon passes between the sun and earth blocking the sun. the last total solar eclipse happened last year. this year the sun could stay blacked out from anywhere from 90 seconds and four minutes, possibly. it is not going to be visible over the bay area, but if you're cure about this phenomenon the exploratorium will hold a special event tonight from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. >> pretty cool. maybe not because of the eclipse, but all the rain clouds we have been having. >> wae will see the sun today. but after that, very iffy. we will have a lot of rain in this forecast over the next several days. a live look now at the golden gate bridge. nice, dry start to the day. we had some patchy fog in spots, but no rain and no very dense fog in the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen come on over and take a look. we will see the break we will have from the rain today and after that get ready for more soggy weather heading into the weekend.

we're fracking ttracking the ne system as it is fairly weak as it approaches the coast and this will move into the north bay later on this evening. in the meantime, we get a break from those showers and partly cloudy skies. still a cool day, though. here's a look at the futurecast and what the radar could look like. shows that we start tasee to se showers moving into the north bay and then the rain kind of fizzles out as it moves across the rest of the bay area in time for tomorrow morning's commute and we're only looking at spotty rain, so, no major worries with this next system and then another one after that approaches as we go into thursday morning. and then it will be a heavier one with some gusty winds and the potential for some thunderstorms, too. that moves in by thursday afternoon into the south bay and it can linger into early friday morning. so the rain futurecast shows, once again, with the next weather system moving in not bringing much of the rain and south bay may not see anything. then the weather pattern

continues with subtropical moisture streaming into it bay area. one after another areas of low pressure will be here and the next one moves in tomorrow and another one thursday into friday and another storm system moving in as we head into the weekend. i'll keep you up to date on this rainy weather pattern and let's get an update on what is happening with those roadways with mike. >> because we don't have the rain night a, we have a nice, easy drive. north of the coliseum, i should say. which, oh, as we look at the map, go ws. we're looking over here towards the rest of the east bay and carquinez and benicia bridges and no slowing across the golden gate bridge. we'll move ut. one serious issue we have right now is the closure of niles canyon roadway. that means folks trying to move over there as an alternate to mission. you have to use mission to get to 680 and down to mission north and cut back over. this is closed at main street and if you're trying to get down, foothill road, perhaps.

you can access 680 from there but it is going to be crowded. quick look at palo alto will show you the peninsula. coming up next, the road to the white house. another pivotal day in the presidential race. who's looking to come out on top amid another busy day of voting in four states.

nch a surreal scene caught on video. a small plane literally dropping to the skies to the emergency parachute that deployed.

the father and daughter inside of that craft walked away with a few scratches. this happened over the weekend on long island in new york. the engine suddenly cut out. the plane's parachute technology is relatively new, but already been credited with saving more than 100 lives. >> look how close to that building, too. you wish you knew what happened here. today marks two years since malaysia flight 270 disappeared with 239 people onboard. >> so many questions, of course. relatives from passengers mark that anniversary at a buddhist temple in beijing today. the prayer session also serving as a protest of sorts. the family members held signs and shouted slogans demanding that malaysia safely return their relatives. however, no one onboard has ever been found. investigators believe that the boeing 777 following from koala lumper to beijing crashed in a remote stretch of the southern indian ocean after flying far off of ocourse and running out of fuel.

malaysia's parliament marked that anniversary with a moment of silence today. >> we need someone that will unite this party and i can and i will. to decision 2016 now. another crucial day on the campaign trail. four states will weigh in on who they want to run for president. >> "today in the bay" tracy live in washington with a breakdown of what key can expect today. a lot of action, tracie and michigan voters could mark a turning point for democrats. >> bernie sanders needs to catch up to hillary clinton, no question about it. she's ahead in the michigan polls by 13 points and ahead in the delegate count by 600 and hammering him on whether or not he supported the auto jobs up there. michigan is going to be critical for him. new this morning our nbc news survey monkey poll shows the first big spread between the democrats since we've been doing that poll this year. in one week a seven-point difference. a seven-point spread and we haven't seen that since that

poll started in january. michigan could be critical and they also compete today in mississippi. as for the republicans, new poll shows this morning that donald trump is holding steady with a 19-point lead and where is he going with that 19-point lead. they have 14-4 contest in four states today. ted cruz has been gaining ground in terms of the delegate count. is he going to be able to pick up more delegates and be even closer to trump when they get to the all-important winner take all states next week. that's what we're watching for today. >> as for a candidate that looks like he had a lot of steam. marco rubio suffered a very difficult super tuesday. looks like that could be happening again today. >> super tuesday after that. it just hasn't been a great run for rubio. he picked up two areas. he got puerto rico and minnesota. and he's hoping to get winner take all florida. but right now eight points behind donald trump in his home state. >> all right. one to watch. thanks so much, tracie, live

from washington this morning. coming up next an alleged drug ring at a california university. a massive bust that landed six students in cuffs at uc santa cruz. good morning, i'm bob redell and take you back here live to niles canyon with what union pacific believes caused this ace train to derail last night. that story coming up. joining us.

i'maura rcia caon. a very good tuesday morning to you.

thank you so much for joining us, i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. over the weekend it was coming down in buckets, but now not too long. keep the umbrella handy, kari. >> today you can leave it in the trunk of the car. even though we are still tracking that next weather system moving in it is fairly weak and approaching starts of northwestern california. very far off shore and then as it moves into the north bay, it won't be until later until tonight. so, now, it's 39 degrees and mostly clear and chilly with patchy fog and we're in the upper 40s else where. looking at today's forecast, we'll bring it up to 62 in the east bay and 59 degrees in the north bay. san francisco today cool with a lot of sunshine. 60 degrees. so,uling i'll talk about what to expect as the next round of rain moves in. the metering lights are on at the bay bridge toll plaza, mike. >> we have the traffic guy. we are looking over here. fills in the toll plaza after a couple of minutes. those metering lights.

that is not a surprise and everything moving well. a little build west 580 out of the alatmont and watching this closure for niles canyon road. this area is closed. we will talk about why, but i want to let you know, mission over here north towards 680 will get more traffic flow. for the reason for this closure and follow up with a local update and send it back to you guys for a bigger story. one we have been following oerveg night, mike. frightening moments untolding as a commuter train derails into a nearby creek. >> completely horizontal. here's what we know so far. 214 people onboard that train. nine of them injured and four of them seriously and preliminary reports indicate that a downed tree on the tracks might have caused that derailment. we have a team in place to cover all the angles of this developing story. we start with "today in the bay" bob redell who joins us live from the scene with what we're learning and investigators coming to scope out the accident

scene. bob? >> well, good morning to you, sam and laura. this train, the ace train was traveling on union pacific tracks. so, this is right now a union pacific investigation. and the spokesperson for that agency indicated to us that they have not yet heard from the ntsb and usually if the ntsb were to be taking over they believe they would have already done that. union pacific says preliminarily they believe it is a mudslide that swept the tree on to the tracks causing this ace train to derail. you have the one car that you're looking at above. that one is hard to see from our vantage point is barely up there on the edge of that ravine up there. still upright and you have the other rail car that fell into the alameda creek below. this was the number ten ace train from san jose to stockton. the last train of the night was carrying 214 commuters. as it wound its way through niles canyon and derailed at around 7:30. about a mile west of sunol. that one car stayed upright and the other fell about 50 feet

into alameda creek, which is swollen from the recent rain. that car flooded while first responders raced to save the people inside. everyone survived, but nine people were hurt, four seriously. >> to paint the picture, when you're there and you're close, you feel like the movie "the fu fugitive." that starts your movie and that's the kind of scene it is. it's rugged and rural and cold and dark and for the people that are on the train, they may not be dressed to be out in 45 degree weather at the time. and kind of a misty fog. so, you've got to account for all these things. >> this was a five-car train being pushed by an engine. so you had an engine pushing four rail cars. it's not clear how fast the train was traveling. we do know that generally speaking the ace trains are supposed to go through relatively slow because as you heard the alameda county sheriff sergeant there saying the

terrain is so curvy and so steep. as far as cleanup and getting that car out of the water. now union pacific is waiting for the sun to come up so they get a better sense of how badly damaged the rails are. they know there is some minimum damage, but they can't tell how severe it is. they have been able to move two of the cars. that being the engine and the last rail car. they, obviously, have to get that one out of the water and then two more on the track. so, they said it clearly will take several hours, if not the day, maybe even longer. reporting live here in niles canyon, bob redell "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, bob. let's turn to stephanie chuang now live in eden medical center. the passengers seriously hurt went to that and maybe some other trauma centers. >> that's right, laura. trauma centers are really places with more surgeons and resources to better handle those very serious injuries. so, reportedly at least one of the train passengers is here at eden. the good news is, though, none

of the passengers suffered any life-threatening injuries, which is pretty incredible when you take a look at the cell phone video we have here from one of those 214 passengers aboard. people described hard stops and a very fast jarring deceleration when they got out they said they saw the front train car had flipped over and others hanging off the tracks and the rain adding to all the confusion. >> well, i was in the middle of the train and i heard, felt a jerk and a very abrupt stop and didn't realize until later that the front car had derailed. >> two of our fellow employees were in that car. and we found them and they cl b climbed out when the car turned sideways and they were able to get out so they were fine. >> the mudslide making it more difficult also to rescue some of the trappeds. now, despite people describing how some got thrown around inside the train and breaking

glass when they hit the windows and the passengers some were not hurt. some walked half a mile to get out of the area. washington health care in fremont was getting back to me this morning. it is not a trauma center and two passengers transported there to the e.r. and it is determined that they suffered minor injuries. live here in castro valley, stephanie chuang "today in the bay." >> thank you, steph. ace train service disrupted for possibly the next couple of days and traffic already impacted because of the cleanup. >> so, let's check in with mike inouye and has a closer look how it is affecting the commute. >> highlighted with the bright green line and take you between stockton and san jose. other than just jumping in your car because stockton and those areas don't have an alternate for us and b.a.r.t. doesn't come in until pleasanton. we don't see anything different for the altamont and focusing on this closure for niles canyon

road and that area is a popular cut through. over here, consider it closed at mission boulevard. even though the official closer, don't turn over there at the 7-eleven. locals know what i'm talking about and also over here at 680 you can't access past main street and you can get to suno glen elementary and can't get to past main street and use that surface street. they do look like good options towards 68 o0 and continue that for the morning, guys. we are going to have more coverage on this developing story throughout our newscast. we also posted video to our website of the crash site. just head to nbcbayarea.com for instant coverage and also tweeting updates all morning. six uc santa cruz sorority and fraternity members behind bars this morning. they have thousands of ectapill. they belong to the fraternity sorority. investigators say ecstasy was

being exported and shipped to chose students. police raided their homes friday and the ecstasy seized was worth more than $100,000. some students we spoke to at the university saying they're not surprised. >> we're in santa cruz. a lot of drugs here. >> frats, you know, they go crazy. so, it's bound to happen eventually. >> santa cruz police found out oabout another large shipment of drugs headed to that same group. that shipment, however, was intercepted by homeland security. it's hard to believe that we're saying this, again, but a serial predator strikes again near uc berkeley. now, police are sending out warnings across campus and beyond. they're passing out these fliers alerting people that another woman was sexually assaulted near the uc campus. that is the fourth attack since last month. the latest one happened after midnight on saturday on etna street and you see the location of all four attacks there. a man grabbed a female cal student and dragged her off of

the sidewalk and then proceeded to sexually assault her. investigators are rereleasing this video recorded last month because they think that's the suspect. i know it's dark. if you catch a glimpse, you think you recognize him, please call berkeley police. in the meantime, the search continuing this morning for a hit and run driver who struck two brothers as they were walking to school. police right now looking for this man. daniel morris. he's accused of losing control of a stolen car and ramming into that family. it happened yesterday morning near marshall elementary school in castro valley. the car, as you see, eventually jumped the curb and pinned a 6-year-old boy into a power pole. that boy is still hospitalized having suffered serious injuries. his brother was also hurt but doing okay. morris then took off running. at the right place at the right time. a chp officer now some good news to tell you about. being praised for rescuing two kids stuck inside of a burning car. it's all caught on camera.

>> take your kid. >> the officer behind the car in monterey. he spotted flames and smoke. the driver pulled over, but couldn't get door open. he rushed in and pulled two crying children from the back seat. the driver and another woman managed to escape through the passenger door. they were all treated for smoke inhalation. >> restoring our faith in humanity aal bit there. new to our microclimate forecast. mike will be joining us soon. but, first, a live look outside at san jose. a wet couple of days and more rain is on the way. >> that's right. a satellite radar to show us. >> yes, but today we take a break. don't worry too much about what we're seeing here. this does not move into the north bay until later tonight. so, now, we are in for some cool and some sunny weather. up to 60 degrees in los gatos and upper 50s for along the immediate coast and the chance of rain in the north bay late

tonight while the east bay sees highs of around 60 degrees in san ramon today and also at about 60 today. we will have some cooler and some rain for the rest of the week. i'll detail that coming up in a few minutes let's see what's happening on the roadways now with mike. >> kari, starting over in dublin with a new vice of 580 westbound and the volume of traffic looking pretty standard. the traffic flow and the concern out of the altamont anden the map. just off of 205 and flow traffic easing up where the express lanes start. soy far looks standard. that's where our camera is. down here in sunol the concern for local traffic flow. this is closed niles canyon between sunol and basically over there and mission boulevard. so, you're going to use mission to 680 as your alternate. a crash approaching 92 is causing some slowing in the middle of the freeway and this is causing more slowing. the first burst for san jose. back to you. >> that sight we're familiar

with. thank you very much, mike. tackling a persistent problem in san francisco. the declaration one supervisor will make today that could lead the massive shake up in the city. companies fall for a very simple trick. we'll show you that trick coming up in "business and tech."

new and two other deputies faced several criminal charges. one of the defense attorneys accuses san francisco's d.a., though, of using this case for political gain. >> really an attempt tadraw attention to himself. i think as a candidate he wants to be mayor or attorney general or something else. >> mr. stern is trying to down play them. clearly, i think he's the one with distraction. >> take an year to bring this case to court. both the public defender and district attorney brought those allegations to light last march. now to the homeless crisis in san francisco. pressure is building on mayor ed lee to take more action.
