that's partly due to how destructive the crash was. >> reporter: investigators say they're having trouble removing the forward facing camera from the train that crashed. it could be a couple more days before they have full access to the site because of asbestos concerns. >> there is no evidence aboard this train and the information on the vent recorder and the forward facing video will not be affected by this delay. >> reporr: it slammed into barriers then we want with airborne before plowing into a wall, debris raining down on commuters. the investigation will also look at whether technology called positive train control could have prevented the accident. the system is scheduled to be implemented at this station in 2 years. >> if speed was a factor, positive train control is all about controlling speed. it's all about stopping a train when

>> reporter: the crash killed 34-year old batar. more than 100 others were injured including the train's engineer, 48-year old thomas gallagher. the new jersey transit section of the station remains closed which is causing travel nightmares for the thousands of commuters who use this system every day. officials are evaluating the structural integrity of the station before clean up begins inspect and we've learned that that woman killed had just toddler at day care minutes before she was killed. . the owner of little pumpkin's day care says she wants to keep the center open as she battles receiving her state license.

voters we surveyed with only 24% unfavorable. boston mayor marty walsh is not far behind. and in third senator elizabeth warn with a 46% favorable rating. but anything below 50% is usually seen as a warning sign. and with warn facing reelection in 2018 we tested her strength against someen warn would breeze by 19 points against former red sox pitcher schilling, but the poll shows her beating lieutenant governor polito but just 4 points and defeating former governor by just 3. both results within our polls 4.1% margin of error. and in 2018 match ups, baker would beat the

healthy 1 point margin and mayor walsh by 9 points but look at this 4th district congressman joe kennedy ties baker in a potential match up. looks like the kennedy name still has clout around here. when we asked voters what word comes to mind when they think of baker and warn, moderate competent honest and fair and positive statements like strong smart and fighter the single most prominent word for her was liar. . meanwhile hillary clinton or at least someone who works for her campaign maybe a little closed eyed this morning. overnight her official account tweeted it's 3:20 a.m. as good as time as any way to tweet

because it can take them down. this is our current color and we've got little areas of moderate color but notice what's missing any peak or past peak typically these areas should already be in peak so the very warm conditions we've had all summer long and fall have delayed things very similar to last year. you've got to go back to 2014, '13, and '12. the past 2 years they have been late. ends i think they'll really be peaking but areas where typically on columbus day weekend you'd think it would peak it's not going to. beneficial rains for today we've got some moving up from the north at times it will stop. more comes in. some improvement for tomorrow with just a couple of scattered showers. the bulk of tomorrow is dry so everything you get in the rain gage today up and through about 8, 9:00

matthew next week. right now i don't think it's going to impact new england. we'll be keeping an eye on it. you can see the elements of rain moving up from the south here's 128, 495, the pike and you can see this area here moving up towards the north. some areas where it stopped it will start back up again and this is going to be the trend for the day today. we'll have these rainy areas notice temperatures really reflective in the 50s not going up maybe a degree or 2 and you can see i left the rain going to pour the whole day, just that it's going to be a wet day. here's matthew category iv it was briefly a category v overnight just for a couple hours, but that was about it. and now it's forecast to go down to a category iii which is still a major hurricane. but thank goodness not a category v as it crosses jamaica cuba and the bahamas. we'll have to see how

does here in new england. maximum winds 155 miles an hour. you can see temperatures this morning mostly in the 50s, lower 60s off the vineyard. so us a plan out your day not much to talk about temperatures mostly in the 50s. that bin is going to be gusty too. let's put the radar into the future. we go through tomorrow morning and you can see the rain lifting towar so there most of tomorrow is just cloudy we're not going to expect much sunshine if you want to see a little sun maybe in eastern portions of new york. and notice the chance of rain goes down over the next several days. all right. let's show you the 7-day forecast and we'll give you the trivia answer. so you get the idea for the next couple of days and then it dries out here. i'm not sure we're really going to 100% clear out much of this week. we'll have to keep

off the water interact. all right speaking of wet how much rain do we get in october? what do you think is our average? >> i thought about it didn't do much. let's go with b. >> and you are correct. 3.94. it's one of our wetter months of the year. >> it is? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> that surprises me for some reason. >> i know. i think sometimes we average up. >> okay. fair enough. well still ahead a historic moment for a new president that is breaking barriers, stay with

the outside corporate interests bankrolling question two are trying to deceive you. here's the truth: every time a new charter school opens, it drains money from the existing public schools. according to the state's own data. which means real cuts to our kids - in arts, technology, ap classes, pre-school, bus service and more. that's why question two's opposed by the massachusetts pta and school committees all across the state.

welcome back for the first time college financial aid forms can be filed in october 3rd months ahead of thedi federal student aid forms can be filled out starting today. the earlier date gives students and families more time to figure out which college that they can afford. well this has been a historic couple of days at wellsly college. dr. paula johnson came from harvard medical school. they also served as the executive director for women's health and againer

if it stays down there for 3 days 4 days something like that it will move out to sea. if it were to become ejected much quicker it could impact parts of the east coast but i'm leaning towards it stays down there and doesn't bother us. beneficial rain today. of course zero relation to anything going onto the south. i'll give you a quick check at the radar and we'll take that 7-day forecast all on the way. . david swings and hits it down the right field line. it is gone. a 2 run home run for david ortiz and the red sox lead it 5-3. big papi does it again. >> yeah, baby. got to love it. the guy who always comes througt thousands of fans who turned out for his final regular season series.

well into the night in california where 2 new videos have just been released showing the crucial seconds before and after police shot and killed a black man. that video appears to show 38-year old olango acting agitated. some of it is tough to wait. security video shows him walking, his sister called 911 to say he became distraught over a friend's death. police officersro his pocket and then as a family member screams police say one officer shot a stun gun at him the other fired his gun. still images released earlier this week show him pointing something at police. it was later determined to be part of an electronic cigarette. this morning we are waiting to learn what police removed from the home of a connecticut mother missing at sea and feared dead. law enforcement from 4

for years the national

access that provides blind people to engage and work in community affairs. this morning they're here to talk about a big event they have coming up. we're joined by 2 members of the group. nice to meet you both. >> tell us a little bit about the mission. >> well, we started 1927 as a by weeking braille newspaper for the blind and we certainly have evolved since then but our mission has stayedhe we focus on providing braille to the blind community and to children so they can read and write. that's critical to our mission. >> joe, what is your part? tell us about your situation and how this has helped you. >> it is the only way a blind person can read. so one of the things that i've come to learn as a blind person myself is that listening to things or listen listening to books is not the same as reading.

eyes is what helps you read. to me, to show case our mission it's really important that people understand that braille is a must for blind people to be able to read just like we wouldn't ask sighted kids to go through school or life without books. . >> that is very interesting. for those that adopt understand that that makes complete sense. now, the organizatio some financial needs and volunteers. tell us what you need. >> we're putting on a fundraiser on october 28th. you can go to our website and take a look at it. we raised over a million dollars a year, this is our biggest fundraiser. part of our mission is to make braille material affordable. we believe that a blind person shouldn't have to pay for more information that a sighted person does. so any donation helps us do that.

more to make a book in braille than print. it helps us cover that difference. >> and you also need volunteers you want people to help out in your mission. >> yes, we use volunteers all the tile to assemble books for us too to reduce or costs and we do a print braille book to that a parent can help a child read are braille or a grand parent canea go or be a volunteer? >> well as joe said on our website you can click onto a link and it gives information about it, and you can buy tickets right there as well. and if you want to volunteer you can call us directly and the numbers are on the websitely as well. >> i know how important it is. i'm so glad you both came in and share with us the mission of the organization. thank you so much. >> thank you for having us.

north of south america it's very far to the south. usually hurricanes do not form right at the equator so they've got to form a little to the north a little to the south and this is pretty far to the north -- pretty far to the south. winds 155 miles an hour is definitely going to effect jamaica it's going to effect portions of cuba perhaps even the western fridge of days. let's go closer to home. you can see elements of yellow. that's where it's really a steady even a downpour type of rain. so we've got some between 495 and the 128 belt moving up. so that's going to be the trends for this morning and early afternoon hours rain especially in eastern

i've left rain in the forecast the entire time. if you're west of worcester you basically have a fairly dry day. that's where you can get outside and at least move around without the fear of getting completely soaked. temperature 50 there, 49 in orange, 46 in springfield. down towards 60 towards the cape. planning out your day basically a wet day temperatures only in the upper 50s with that raw wind off the water it's reallyng uncomfortable and we move through tomorrow morning there will be elements of showers activity, but look at the day tomorrow the white, gray that's just clouds. so i really think that the bulk of tomorrow is not raining. it's not going to be a dry beautiful sunny day, but it's not going to be wet like it is today. we're going to drop the chance of precipitation way down to only 50-50, that means an equal chance that you don't see anything and a very good chance we don't see any precipitation at all monday,

little north of 0, it's not impossible. so for the game tonight this could be a problem depending on exactly where those elements of heavy rain are. it may get delayed but i suspect if they're looking at the radar they should be able to get this game in. if not maybe they'll move it to tomorrow, i don't know. tomorrow they'll definitely get the game in because we're not going to see a rainy day. if you are headed to the revolution this afternoon do expect showers throughout the hours. a better day tomorrow. if you're tailgating temperaturl with the wind still coming in off the water. let's check the 7-day forecast and we see temperatures cool the next couple of days and start drying out here tomorrow and especially the rest of the week. >> you should get these apples off the desk. i almost just sneezed. for one minute every night young patients in rhode island

the people of providence. this is such a great story. here's what you can see from the hospital rooms. flashes of light, strainers flash flashlights to show their support and the kids get their own flashlights to return the message. so great. well the owner of a day care chain isn't letting no license stopping her from doing business, coming up why she says you can still bring your kids to

forecast for the next 7 days on the way. checking our top stories a developing story can where once against protests lasted well into the night in california. 2 new videos have just been released showing the crucial seconds before and after police shot and kid a black man identified as 38-year old olango. images from video released earlier this week show him pointing something at police. it was later determined to be part of an electron waiting to hear from police what they removed from the home of a connecticut mother who's been missing at sea and feared dead. police are investigating linda carman's son nathan who was rescued. the family has come under scrutiny before as they for you to over millions of dollars after a family member's death. this morning the fbi may have missed its last chance to

every time a new charter school opens, it drains money from the existing public schools. that's 400 million just last year - according to the state's own data. which means real cuts to our kids - in arts, technology, ap classes, pre-school, bus service and more. that's why question two's opposed by the massachusetts pta and school committees all across the state.

well good morning. how about david ortiz. he hit his 38th home run last night in leading the red sox to a win over the blue jays. he's 2 shy of 40 home runs at the age of 40. think about that. he was honored before the game s charitable efforts and the more than 500 lifesaving heart surgeries it has possible. one of the survivors a 15-year old boy who took to the mound to throw out the first pitch, a little bit off the mark but not to david ortiz. he was just fine with it. the game got underway after a rain delay, bottom 1 ortiz getting the sox on the board. the jays got the starter for 3 in the 5th. tie

the monster seats. 3-1 toronto. top 7 ramirez with a nice play here makes the grab at the edge of the seats and a little love to the fans. lots of love these days at the park. bottom 7 best knocks one back up the middle, scores tying the game setting the stage for big papi. game winning blast this one down the right field line 38th year, 500 with the red sox yet another milestone and delivers a 5-3 win for the sox. >> focused man, just want to go out there and do something when i step to the plate and you know, concentration and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. >> i've seen it for 10 years. pretty special man, every time there's a big situation he's always find ago way to come through. you know, we're going

follow your own sense of style... because, you want to be confident. t.j.maxx really helped us express our creative side. that's the best part. going to find. i always find great deals on shoes... purses... we're a team. yeah.

7:45. good morning, everybody. rainy day out there this morning dave. >> it is especially east of worcester that's where the rain seems to be heaviest moving up from the south just continuing these elements of rain, and hey we're into october, different month, different pattern. >> i thought october was sunny. >> you were correct because the long-term average -- stay with me -- the long-term average 1961 to 1991, october was one of the top dry east months but the long-term average over the past 30 years it's become a wetter month. we've increased the amount of rain that's been happening over the past 3 decades whether it's a very long-term pattern or not we'll have to wait and see. yeah, october seems to have wetter months now. beneficial rain

today. some improvement tomorrow. few a few scattered showers and we'll be watching matthew right into next week. there won't be nearly as much rain today up in northern new england. if you're getting up thinking we'll go take a drive, your pictures tend to look a little bit better with the bright colors and the gray background and makes the colors pop a little bit more. but down here it's not great picture taking weather. we've got these elements of rain moving up from the south. right here back through in that area right around 495 and these continue to move off towards the north. they'll move in that area and some more here pushing up towards the north. it will also push into lexington. then there will be breaks and more elements of train. that's the trend for the next several hours.

little bit of rain drizzle not a nice day. winds gusting 10 to 20 miles an hour or higher along the coast. this is the radar so what you want to think about is don't say look it's raining at my house at 10:00. this generally is not going to be correct. it's a pattern. what i look for is that most ofe rain is to the east. i see breaks so that's why i forecast showers during the evening hours. then i see a little bit of around 12:30 in the it looks to me like the rain gets steadier so there may be another burst. but that's the idea. and then that pushes through and be look at the time and the trend again is to get it out of here towards tomorrow morning and then i look at the rest of the day and i just see a couple of greens here and there. so that's why i left showers in the forecast but mostly it's a dry day. that's how we tend to look at the forecast. generally not right but gives you a good

here. the game is going to be on the edge whether they get it in or not. tomorrow will be a better chance because any showers will be light and scattered far and few in between. heading to the stadium same thing chance of rain showers out there. tomorrow if you're tailgating cloudy kind of cool but mostly a dry day, and during the game it should be in the lower 60s and don't expect much in at all. foilage will be peaking. let's take a look at the 7-day forecast. here's today that's the wetter day especially east of 495. tomorrow a cloudy day, brief shower but mostly dry, then we dry out a little bit more on monday and tuesday but still not confident how much sunshine

the week. >> all right. we'll be patient. we'll wait. thank you. welt more to come here on wbz this morning. we've got a preview of the pet parade
