things are getting back to normal for bart riders in the east bay. we'll have the latest from the station where a train derailed yesterday. in santa cruz the tremendous task of pulling up more than a dozen folks from under water. the situation in japan continues to grow tire with word of a possible third explosion at a nuclear power plant. it's all ahead on the ktvu morning news. well good morning, to you welcome to monday march 14th i'm dave clark.

>> and i'm claudine wong. let's start off with a quick look at your weather and traffic. >> good morning. we do have cloudage skies -- cloudy skies and rain. parts of the south bay and peninsula. highs will be in the mid to upper 60s. watch some of this rain starting to increase. if you are stepping out see that line forming from clayton to dan vail. here is an update on your traffic from sal. the toll plaza we are getting a little bit of a delay as we get into the 6:00 hour. the metering lights are usually turned on in the next few minutes. it will be wet and rainy for your commute. also a problem in the santa cruz mountains with highway 17. at least one lane is blocked northbound. southbound is blocked if you're a highway 17 driver you should give yourself extra time. this morning bart is back on track after am serious accident in the east bay and ktvu allie rasmus tells us about the important announcement that came a few hours ago.

>> that is right. bart service is back to normal here at the concord station. trains are leaving this concord station from san francisco without any problems. some of the passengers here say they have noticed the train being a few minutes delayed. right now you can see people waiting for the next train. we watched the first train pull in here around 4:15 this morning. more or less on time. since then there have been several other trains go through. that was not the case yesterday. yesterday's service on this line came to a complete standstill. at 9:20 yesterday morning is a parking lot train derailed at the concord -- a bart train derailed at the concord station. bart officials are still investigating why this derailment happened and according to a recording we listened to from barts chief spokesman they will not have another update until much later this afternoon. but repair crews worked all day

yesterday and throughout the night fixing the line to restore service and we got word a couple hours ago that things were going to be back to normal just before 4:00 this morning. we talked to commuters who were very relieved to hear that. >> i do depend on it. i had to change my schedule. i was going to pleasant hill. my dad woke me up earlier and found it was back on time. >> i didn't have to drive my car into work. very relieved. >> reporter: just before 4:00 a.m. this morning bart did have eight charter buses on stand by at this concord station just in case service wasn't restored in time. they thought they would as an alternative bus passengers to the pleasant hill station. that's what they did yesterday. service has been restored at the concord bus station. you should not have any problems today.

at 6:06 we turn to japan where there is growing concern about a possible third explosion at a nuclear power plant. the japanese government say a nuclear reactor has lost its cooling capacity. in addition officials said this morning nuclear fuel rods and another reactor are fully exposed which raises the risk of overheating. two explosions rocked the area over the weekend. the estimated death toll has topped 10,000 for theet quake and tsunami in -- for the earthquake and tsunami in japan. large areas of japan are being surrounded by water and are unreachable. survivors in the hardest hit areas have been without water or electricity since friday. ktvu jana katsuyama is live in tokyo this morning. she is with us live on skype. good to talk to you. tell us about two things. we are hearing about rolling

blackouts all over japan. we are also hearing about large numbers of bodies washing ashore. what can you tell us about those two things? >> reporter: let me start with your second question. right now it's about 10:00 at night. and i have been kind of monitoring they have been having the live news conferences on the japanese television. i can understand a little japanese so i've been trying to get information. the last thing that i heard was that there could be as many as 2,000 bodies that washed ashore. obviously it's very difficult for a lot of these rescue crews to produce some of the information because there needs to be a lot of confirmation that is going on. so that point is difficult. it could be in the 2000. i think everybody is saying right now it's difficult to get estimates of the death toll because the search and rescue missions are still very active.

so i just spoke a top official who says a few days ago there were 150 u.s. rescue workers who went up there with 12 dogs. those are really critical to this effort to try to see if they can get anyone out. that's what we know about that. your second point, dave, in terms of the blackouts i mean you can see earlier when i was up on the screen the lights are on here. they did talk about having rolling blackouts because power is a problem. the nuclear power plants were providing a lot percentage of power to this part of japan. it's a densely populated very high-tech country. so what they have been doing is shutting down some of the rail lines as you can imagine 50% of bart service that's what has been happening with some of the rail lines. we were at the tokyo station today and saw signs up talking

about the rail lines being closed. >> i can only imagine. if you could just before you go explain the basic mood in the area you are right now. >> reporter: dave, let me tell you, anywhere you go you see the television is on people are watching. the news has been nonstop 24 hour coverage. you can think back to katrina or 9/11 in the united states. it's that kind of news here. and today i woke up just about 12 hours ago when i felt my first after shock. and then just six hours ago my japanese cell phone here started ringing because it has an earthquake alert. we had another after shock. at least three today that we felt. and you know, you can imagine it's difficult to feel at ease when you are feeling these fairly large after shocks as far away as tokyo.

it makes it very clear and immediate. and it's very tense i would say. >> well stay safe. that is jana katsuyama reporting live from japan. we'll talk violatedder on. time now 6:10. back here at home the santa cruz harbor remains closed to boats. ktvu kraig debro is there in san coo cruz with the latest about the safety concerns and how long that harbor will be closed. >> reporter: good morning, dave. the short answer is on that at least until sunday but the main reason they are closing the harbor are because of boats like these. that is not so much a problem for people trying to take boats out of the water because they can see where it is. the problem is all the other boats they don't know where they are. there are 12 boats that are unaccounted for that could be under water in the harbor out to sea. around 11:00 on friday morning

a large series of waves and title currents surged into the santa cruz harbor. 18 boats sung. several docks and piers inside the harbor are damaged. there is no reports of injuries or deaths. the damaged books have had a minimal effect on local wildlife concerns because the fuel carried on the pleasure boats here. the department of fish and gain said most had seen a harbor serving large commercial boats. sometimes you have a harbor with large commercial boats those waves could have caused a environmental damage. they may not have been aware of the tsunami warning. those that were took action. >> i spoke to the people at boat works here we were able to move it up a little bit. we got real lucky on this one. >> reporter: now docks in the harbor southwest side are

supposed to be open to licensees. still only that might be the case the harbor officials here are saying there will be no vessel operations until further notice. all docks are closed for now. the southwest side of santa cruz harbor may open when they get power. you will still not be allowed to take your boat out. the obama administration is watching closely as japan scrambles to prevent melt downs at its nuclear plants. the clock ticking down for pg&e. what state regulators threaten to do with that deadline is not met.

time now 6:16. the u.s. military moving its ships away from the power plant. as ktvu alison burns tells us navy crew members have been exposed to radiation. >> reporter: that is right the u.s. seventh fleet has moved its craft away. this is video the navy posted online of its operations from

the uss ronald reagan. they were operating within is hundred miles of the damaged power plant when airborne radio activity was detected. the navy says the crew was exposed to a months worth of normal radiation. they detected low levels of radiation on 17 helicopter crew members when they returned to the ship after missions closer to the plant. they washed with soap and water and no contamination was detected. the u.s. military is playing a major roll in relief operations. providing food, water, transportation, and other support. meanwhile the white house says the u.s. is also sending or has sent a team of nuclear scientists to japan. they are experts in the type of nuclear plants have been damaged. reporting live from washington, d.c. alison burns ktvu channel 2 news. 6:17. secretary of state hillary
