announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places. ♪ welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is on assignment. so anthony mason is here. >> good morning. >> good to have you here. investigators at the scene of the deadly train accident outside of new york are looking to the engineer for answers. a new jersey transit train full of commuters crashed into the hoboken terminal yesterday and one woman in the station, fabiola bittar de kroon, was killed. more than 100 others were hurt. >> the train was making its final stop at hoboken across the hudson river. officials say it was going very fast and jumped the barriers and landing on the platform. jim axelrod has more. >> reporter: investigators won't be able to fully inspect the damage until they remove a

portion of the damaged roof that still sits on the train in the terminal behind me. trains are supposed to approach the station no faster than 10 miles an hour. the officials don't know how fast this train was going yesterday when it pushed onto the platform during rush hour. the force of new jersey transit train 1614 tore apart the concourse inside hoboken terminal. >> i thought we were going to die. i didn't think we were going to get out. >> reporter: passengers climbed out of the wreckage after the thursday morning crash amid wires, glass, and toppled beams. >> we tried to clear the way for the people that were bleeding more to get out first. >> the train just didn't stop. >> reporter: surveillance video shows the train approximately 40 minutes before the crash. new jersey transit officials say the train made up of four passenger cars and a locomotive

entered hoboken terminal on track five moving at a high rate of speed and it jumped over several barriers at the end of the track. >> it went over the bumper block, basically through the air. >> reporter: fabiola bittar de kroon died in the accident. the 34-year-old was hit by debris in the station. more than a hundred others were hurt, including 48-year-old thomas gallagher, the train's engineer. officials say gallagher is cooperating. the ntsb will interview him and piece together a time line of his actions in the 72 hours before the crash. investigators removed one of the locomotive event recorders or black boxes from the wreck app. >> from the event recorder we hope to get information such as speed and breaking. >> they will examine two cameras on the front and back of the train. more than 15,000 new jersey transit riders pass through the hoboken terminal every day and some of those commuters, along with first responders, helped prevent further tragedy. complicating the investigation the nts b said there are now

concerns over the building's structural integrity stemming from a water leak. investigators expect to be on the ground here in hoboken for the next seven to ten days. anthony? >> jim, thanks. the head of a trauma center that saw dozens of patients says quick action from bystanders and emergency personnel was crucial. all of the passengers on the train survived. the woman who was killed was a lawyer and a mom who had just dropped her daughter off at day care. demarco morgan is in hoboken also with the details on the devastating crash. >> reporter: ordinary people performed unselfish acts at this train station behind me. despite the unsteady ceiling above them and live wires below them, many sprung into action at the height of rush hour. as soon as the commuter train crashed the work to get people out began. 250 passengers were packed inside the new jersey transit train. many were shaken. some were bleeding.

>> i think everybody took probably about a good five seconds after that happened and was just like, okay, what just happened? >> reporter: michael larson entered the first car. >> they were crawling on their hands and knees. and we were trying to get, you know, as many people out. i assisted in maybe three or four. >> reporter: you say america's man, i'm not lying. >> everybody color ran to try to help. >> reporter: 34-year-old fabiola bittar de kroon, the married mother of a toddler was on the platform and killed by falling debris. she was a native of brazil and recently moved to hoboken. she had a husband and a child. >> we are in great sadness over that loss. >> reporter: people left through downed ceilings and live wires and asbestos coated debris. incredible many of the dozens who were hurt were only considered walking wounded. >> for trauma, it's about the golden hour. getting them to your trauma center within the first hour and that is what saves lives. >> reporter: governor chris christie said the people of new

york and new jersey were tested by the event. >> regular commuters left the safety of where they were standing to rush to the train to help first responders evacuate injured people off the train. this region has developed a resilience that is admired by the rest of the world. >> reporter: there are 21 people that remain in hospitals right now. governor christie says there is a coordinated approach of between state and local investigators, and the new jersey transit system's first priority is always public safety. >> demarco, thank you. we spoke to bella dinh-zarr who is vice chair of the national transportation safety board early this morning when she arrived on the scene. what have you learned so far? >> so it's still pretty early on. but what we are doing is we are finding out how to make the scene as safe as possible so that our investigators can actually get in there.

the canopy is actually collapsed on to the train and it's a push/pull configuration where there are three passenger cars with a locomotive at the end. and with that, we're -- we were able to get the recorder out of the locomotive, but we are going to have to wait to get parts of the canopy removed, and so that we can safely access the rest of the cars. >> when do you hope to have some answers? >> we get answers all along the way. what we are doing today is we are having our organizational meetings with all of the people who will -- all of the groups that will give us factual information. so we get technical information from various different organizations, and with that factual collection of data, then we take all of that back. we will be on scene for about seven to ten days, and then -- but that doesn't stop the investigation.

once the on-scene part is done, we go back and we keep using that information to do our own independent analysis. >> bella dinh-zarr, thank you for your time. >> thank you. in our next half hour, kris van cleave looks at why the train in hoboken didn't have the appropriate train technology that could prevent accidents. >> one of the most-read newspapers is breaking tradition and endorsing anyone but donald trump. "usa today" is taking a stand on a presidential election. the editorial board is telling voters not to vote for trump. the paper does not endorse any candidate and has critical words for clinton. but the board says trump is, quote, by unanimous consensus, unfit for the presidency. the election is 39 days away. people in 11 early voting states are already casting ballots. nancy cordes is in ft. pierce, florida, where both candidates are battling for votes. >> reporter: good morning. clinton will be speaking at this

theater several hours from now but a crowd has already began to gather. florida is a handful of battleground states where the clinton camp is hoping to use its organizational edge to get supporters like these to the polls well before election day. >> it's a great honor to have her sporting me. she is going to go vote early today. >> reporter: ruly stein decked out her walker and cast voting on the first day of voting in iowa. >> i'm 103. that is the reason i vote early. i'm not taking any chances. >> reporter: she and other clinton supporters were escorted from a rally in des moines to a polling place and a highly orchestrated effort to run up clinton's vote totals in battleground states, six weeks before election day. >> are you ready to go to the polls. >> reporter: later on her campaign plane, clinton was asked about her favorite world leader. >> oh, let me think.

oh, no. >> reporter: she was expecting the question one day after it stumped her libertarian opponent gary johnson. >> who is your favorite foreign leader? >> i'm having a brain -- >> reporter: name anybody! >> clinton named angel merkel. >> she has been an extraordinary, strong leader. >> reporter: in new hampshire, trump fielded the same question. >> well, i think merkel is a really great world leader, but i was very disappointed that when she -- this move with the whole thing on immigration. >> reporter: trump has been highly critical of merkel saying at one point she is ruining germany. >> hillary clinton wants to be america's angela merkel. >> reporter: his inconsistencies prompted "usa today" to announce not that they are endorsing clinton, but, quote, disendorsing trump. in an eight-point take-down, the editorial board called trump a dangerous demagogue who is ill equipped to be commander in chief and a serial liar.

and who traffics in prejudice. on clinton, the board split are some expressing reservations about her sense of entitlement and lack of candor and extreme carelessness. "usa today" did allow trump's running mate mike pence to issue a rebuttal to that disendorsement in the paper. he called donald trump a bold leader, comparing him to ronald reagan who, pence said, also made some republicans uncomfortable initially with his unique style. >> nancy, thank you so much. donald trump is not letting go of the controversy over his comments about a former miss universe. he lashed out on twitter overnight to attack alicia machado and her support of hillary clinton. trump has been outspoken about the beauty queen's weight. major garrett is here with the trump's latest attacks. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. early this morning, about 5:15 a.m. precisely, donald trump fired off a trio of tweets personally attacking former miss universe alicia machado. one tweet he calls her a con.

writes that hillary clinton using her as, quote, a paragon of virtue shows bad judgment and trump urges his some 12 million twitter followers to look into a sex tape and ask, did crooked hillary help disgusting alicia m become a u.s. citizen so she could use her in the debate? this, of course, all began when hillary clinton brought up trump's own words about machado at the first presidential debate and reminding he referred to machado as, quote, miss piggy. as owner of the miss universe competition, trump sought a weight loss campaign for machado. she was implicated in a 1997 murder case in venezuela and accused of threatening a judge, but never charged on either county. this episode, once again, underscores there is only really one person running the trump campaign, donald trump. but those around him are trying to rein him in and bringing in new jersey governor chris christie to try to help trump prepare for the second debate,

giving him attack lines because trump respects the way christie took down marco rubio before the new hampshire primary and his advisers hope trump can do the same thing in preparation for round two. >> what kind of a difference will it make? everybody says chris christie is a very good debater. >> he is but it's all about the focus that donald trump brings to the task and he didn't bring a requisite focus the first time around' those who wish he would. it's entirely up to him and whether he believes the lost the first debate, which i'm still not convinced he does and if he does, does he need to change his methods? until trump changes himself, those around him only struggle with the topic. >> we did learn today he likes to get up early and likes to tweet. >> early morning tweeting, no doubt about that. >> at 5:15 precisely, you say. got it. world leaders said good-bye to israeli former president and prime minister shimon peres. president obama offered a mosque

tribute. he also said peres' dream of peace in the middle east is not over. holly williams is in jerusalem at the funeral. >> reporter: good morning. shimon peres was a giant of israeli politics. a man who made israel stronger by building up its military, but also a tireless peace maker. they came to jerusalem from all over the world. presidents and prime ministers to pay their final respects to a man who tried to bring peace to his people and to the middle east. >> shimon accomplished enough things in his life for a thousand men. he understood it is better to live to the very end of his time on earth with a longing not for the past, but for the dreams that have not yet come true. >> reporter: palestinian leader mahmoud abbas was also here today shaking hands with israeli's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. as israeli's foreign minister, shimon peres opened secret negotiations with the palestinians, which led eventually to the oslo accords

signed in 1993 on the white house lawn. the first agreement between israel and the palestinians aimed at ending their conflict. it won peres the nobel peace prize but didn't deliver lasting peace in the middle east. >> now he is gone. leaving only a blessed memory and a powerful example. that's more than enough. >> reporter: bill clinton called him our complicated brilliant friend. >> shimon was being interviewed by charlie rose and he looked at him sort of saying, i'm going to serve a softball up to you. and watch you hit a home run. what do you want your legacy to be? and he said, i'm more concerned about tomorrow than yesterday. >> reporter: shimon peres was laid to rest just a short while

ago here atop mt. herzi and along with other israeli leaders. >> holly williams in israeli, thank you. a teenager accused of shooting three people at a south carolina elementary school is due in court this morning. the officials have not named the 14-year-old because of his age. a judge will decide if he can be freed on bail. he is also accused of killing his father at home before shooting two students and a teacher on wednesday at townville elementary school. jacob hall is still in critical condition and authorities are trying to determine a motive. >> hurricane matthew strengthened to a category 2 storm overnight and could be stronger today. it hammered puerto rico yesterday with heavy wind and rain and triggered floods and landslide. a teenager was killed in the nation of st. vincent. matthew is heading west across the caribbean and could turn north. the national weather service says it's too soon to determine if it will affect the u.s.

"usa today" reports on shares of deutsche bank plunging in european trading today. the stock fell as much as 8% to a record low. some investors believe the german bank may need a government bailout to settle fines by the u.s. justice department. there were reports some hedge

funds were moving their business out of the bank. deutsche bank may have to pay $14 billion over its sale of mortgage-backed securities in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis. "the washington post" reports on the ceo of wells fargo facing new calls to resign over the bank's aggressive sales practices. lawmakers hammered john stumpf on capitol hill yesterday and one even suggested he should be in jail and compared him to a suspected bank robber. >> did wells fargo employees steal from a million to 2 million other customers? yes or no. >> in some cases, they did. >> do you know this guy? apparently, he robbed your bank. he's in jail as we speak. they get all of the money back. only simple question -- what the heck is the difference between you and mr. holmes? >> interesting analogy. stumpf is forfeiting $41 million in stock awards and working without pay, but lawmakers say that is not enough.

"the new york times" says a space probe has just plunged into the comet it has studied the last two years. scientists celebrated the successful outcome this morning at the european space agency in germany. the rosetta probe was the first spacecraft to orbit a comet. the rosetta wasn't designed to land so its mission ended with the crash. it was sent into space to discover new insights about the early solar system. the new jersey train crash is reigniting concerns about positive train control. it has not been implemented in any of new jersey transit trains or on tracks. in august, federal regulators said the system was in place in five railroads. kris van cleave explains why installing the technology has been such a struggle. >> reporter: good morning. positive train control is not new. it's been around for decades. the government mandated all railroads have it installed by the end of last year. but after an intense lobbying effort by the industry citing the cost and technical

difficulties with installing it, the deadline was pushed back. investigators will try to determine if positive train control could have prevented the speeding new jersey transit train from smashing into the hoboken station. >> that is absolutely one area that we always look into for every rail accident. as you know, the ntsb has been recommending positive train control for 40 years. >> reporter: they remain on gps satellites and radio towers and ground sensors. if it detects a train is going too fast or operating unsafely, on-board computers will kick in to slow it or stop it. in january, amtrak showed us how the technology works using this simulator. when it's beeping, you take over. >> if you don't brake action it will take over control of the train. >> reporter: nationwide it is available on 29% of passenger

locomotives and 22% of passenger track miles. as of last may, commuter railroads have spent nearly a billion dollars installing the pricey technology. new jersey senator cory booker is frustrated by the slow progress. >> we don't need any more warnings and we don't need any more accidents. it's a matter of getting it done. >> reporter: back in 2011, also in hoboken also, at least 30 people were injured in an accident involving a p. a.t.h. train. two years later one derailed in the bronx killing four people and in may, 2015, eight died and more than 200 were hurt when this amtrak train derailed in philadelphia. investigators say p.t.c. would likely have prevented them all. the american public transportation association says commuter railroads are 100% dedicated to ptc but estimate it will be $3.5 billion.

that's more than what congress has set aside to implement ptc. it's not expected to be in use at least 2018. gayle? >> maybe they will rethink that one. thank you, kris. the associated press investigates find confidential police databases have been used by some police officers to obtain information that has nothing to do with daily police work. the findings show some police run searches on romantic partners and business associates and journalists and family members. don dahler is here with the details. >> reporter: good morning. the databases give police instant access to a wide range of information, including a addresses, phonenumbers, criminal histories. and driving records, which is all critical information when used appropriately. but as the investigation uncovered, there are sometimes illegitimate searches that remain unchecked. after being harassed for nearly a year, 30-year-old alexus decany said she was violently attacked by her ex-boyfriend, a former sergeant with the akron, ohio, police, named eric paul. >> he raped me and attacked me

and strangled me until i was unconscious. he made known in writing, via text message and social media that he was coming to kill me. >> reporter: using confidential police databases, she says paul had access to private information that made the stalking even more relentless. >> i tried changing my number several times. and he would just get this other app on his phone where he could call me from his phone, but it would come up different numbers. i would try to go hide and stay at friends' houses or my mom's and he would find me. >> reporter: paul is now serving four-year probationary sentence after pleading guilty to charges that was the unlawful use of a law enforcement database. a crime that can be difficult to track. >> it is often difficult to distinguish a questionable search from the millions of legitimate searches that law enforcement officers do every day. >> reporter: an investigation by the associated press found that between 2013 and 2015, law enforcement officers and employees were fired, suspended,

or resigned more than 325 times for the misuse of police databases. they received lesser punishments over 250 times. chuck gallop is a former police officer who was disciplined for database misuse. he says officers were encouraged to practice searching on innocent subjects. >> i have spoken to officers who went through that training at the time and they were told pull out your high school yearbook and start running people and get used to the system. it's new in this and use it. >> reporter: no single agency monitors the use of databases but in the case of alexus decany, it's often when a crime has been committed that such incidents are revealed. >> there needs to be some sort of checks and balances, some sort of way to hold these officers that have complete discretion accountable for this information they have at their fingertips. >> reporter: because eric paul accepted a plea deal, he could be released before his four-year sentence is up. as for alexus, she started a go fund me page to pay for relocation should her former stalker be back on the streets.

in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto.

some roof damage right there. and just underneath that, that's where the train engines are. that's where the investigators will be focusing. couple of concerns they have, one is the structural integrity of the building, there was some water damage after the crash yesterday. have to be very careful moving in and around there. that's why the terminal is still empty right now. investigators also need that roof damage, they need to actually have that roof removed before they can get to parts of the train that they need to look at. there is a thought that the train was moving as fast as 30 miles per hour, maybe even more as it moved in here. trains of course not to be -- shouldn't be going any faster than 10 miles an hour. next seven to ten days investigators will be here trying to figure it all out. anthony? >> jim. jim axelrod, thanks. donald trump walaunched a twitter attack against alicia machado. in one tweet, he urged his followers to look into a sex tape and wrote, quote, did crooked hillary help disgusting
