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 mastfaster than 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 at 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 bl k 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. >> i would like to applaud all of the first responders who did a magnificent job, once again.

today is another situation for us to deal with, but when we work together, there is nothing that we can't accomplish and nothing that we can't overcome. >> reporter: complicating the investigation, the ntsb says there are now concerns over the building's structural integrity stemming from a water leak that started following the crash. 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 hoboken also with the details on the devastating crash. >> reporter: ordinarily people performed unselfish acts at this trainship train station behind

me. despite the unsteady ceiling bof 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 mormg 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

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. one 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 word 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 efforts 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 grags. >> reporter: trump has been highly critical of merkel saying at one point she is ruining >> 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. 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 ma chau dough. she was implicated in a 1997 murder case in generals 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. >> 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 pres scisely, you sa. got it. world leaders said good-bye to israeli former president and prm shi prime minister shimon peres. holly williams is in jerusalem at the funeral. >> reporter: good morning. shimon peres was a giant of israeli politics. a man who made israeli 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 paimed 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 ed, 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

"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 this morning at the european space agency in germany. 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, a train control has not 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 to our -- for 40 years. >> reporter: they remain on gps satellites and radio towers and ground sensor. 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 hemorrhage simulator. when it's deeping 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:? 2011 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 p.c.t. but the final price tag is more money than congress set aside to implement p.c.t.

it's not expected to be in use at least 2018. gayle? >> maybe they will rethink that one. thank you, kris. the associate 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 database give police instant access to a wide range of information, including a addresses, phone numbers, criminal histories. and driving record, 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 decontainy said she was violently attacked by hearse 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 p.m. it's new in this and use it. >> reporter: no single agency monitors the use of databases but in the case of alexus decontainy, 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.

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.
