many injuries are severe and witness accounts are talking about the man waving into the crowd. there is no doubt in the mind that this was a deliberate attack targeting at the muslim community and therefore you assume by somebody who is an extremist. it is the latest attack in london. this one different but only will add to the sense of tension. on the other hand there are some stunning stories of people gathering around and apprehending the man and others wanting to take out vengeance on him there and then and people calming the crowd and saying no the police will arrest him. an impressive act of lawfulness. >> thank you. officials are investigating a deadly collision. it happened saturday night while

investigators are looking at a number of things including marine traffic records that show that the cargo ship made some course corrections around the time of the crash and a u-turn before heading towards tokyo. there is some dispute over when the collision might have happened. u.s. navy officials have been saying around 2:20 in the morning. japan's coast guard officials are suggesting it could have been closer to 1:30. there are a lot of pieces they are hoping to put together to form a timeline to figure out what happened and why. we had a look at "uss fitzgerald" from a distance and the damage is larable. it is crushed on the starboard side. apparently the damage below the water line is even worse. divers had to access the damaged areas in order to recover the bodies of the seven sailors who have now been identified. the navy is saying that this is a time for grieving.
