midnight. four people are in critical condition. it's unclear just how fast the train was going when it slammed into the parked train. one man on board explained the chaos. >> mitch blacher is live in center city the ntsb news conference will begin any moment now. >> what kinds of questions will investigators ask as they try to figure out what happened? >> reporter: this marriott has become the command center as we await that news conference. the question we anticipate them trying to answer is how that collision could have taken place when the train itself was equipped with train safety and slowing technology.

an early morning collision under investigation. one of septa's 26 cars crashed into another parked at 69th street terminal injuring 42 people. >> there should have been an indicator that there was a train on that track. >> the engineer says investigators will look at everything from the on board technology signed to avoid a collision to the train's latest inspection reports. automatic train control is supposed to slow or a train from speeding. he wants to know why it didn't. >> two of the things i would certainly want to check would be the operator and also the braking system. >> this morning we asked for the latest inspection records from the norristown high speed line. everything from track inspections to the passenger cars. regulators from the federal transit administration and penndot pointed to septa to provide them, but officials said they wouldn't be able to release them today. investigators will likely also look into passenger reports that

the car's stops before crashing at the 69th street terminal. leaf residue can sometimes cause brakes to slip. >> that suggests either a braking problem or either the braking itself or leaves or other low friction residue on the rail or if didn't brake until afterwards that suggests some sort of operator issue. >> reporter: our investigation finds the high speed rail cars have been running for 25 years. they were built between 19993 and 1994. septa hasn't told us how often they are. inspected with a maximum speed of 50 miles per hour the high speed title can be deceiving, but the 3 million passengers who ride the line each year are looking for a speedy explanat n explanation. as we said, the ntsb starting a press conference right now. let's take you to it live.

>> we're still awaiting some more members of our team. they are in enroute and arriving tonight. before i go any further on behalf of the ntsb, i'd like to extend our concerns to our family and friends affected by this accident and also like to thank the responders who have been working hard in response to this accident. the ntsb is an independent agency charged to investigate transportationen accidents, determine the probable cause and make recommendations to prevent the reoccur rans. like i said before, we're just arriving on scene. we're just starting to get our investigation started. here's some preliminary information that we have to date. at 12:15 a.m., septa train 155 struck an up occupied rail car while entering the 69th street transportation center.

preliminary report from local authorities indicate there were 32 passenger injuries and one train operator injury also. on board video recorders from the two rail cars involved have been downloaded and they will be sent to our vehicle recorder lab in d.c. for further analysis. the ntsb has brought an eight-member go team. each team member is an expert in different fields. and they will be collecting in their specific disciplines, which include mechanical, operation, signal and train control, crash worthiness, emergency response and human performance. throughout the next few days, ntsb investigators will work on scene to gather the details of the accident. our mission during this accident investigation is to understand not just. what happens, but why.

why it. happened and to recommend changes to prevent it from occurring again. we will not be determining the cause of this accident while we are here on scene. right now, we are just beginning the investigation so we do not have a great deal of information. we will keep you updated as we learn more. >> on scene is the media relations officer. members of the media can reach eric at 202-314-6100. i can take a few questions now. >> so when you guys are on scene, when can we get an idea of when there might be results from your investigation? >> we're going to be here on scene for four or five days collecting evidence. we will continue back at headquarters in washington, d.c. all the documents that we

collect, all the evidence that we collect, we're going to open up a docket eventually and that will become available to the public. in the docket will be our reports from each discipline. and then we'll finish the investigation nine 9 to 12 months from now and available to the public. >> our mechanical person is going to do a complete inspection of the train.

>> and he'll also be looking at the communications between the control center and the field. he will be look iing at the car themselves. what caused the injuries to the occupants. he will be look iing at the desn of the car, the crash worthiness, how they survived and perform during the crash. if there's any improvements to be identified. and we'll also have our operations. they are going to be doing interviews of the train crew. >> you describe the damage to the two cars or doesn't it appear to be a lot of damage to the back of the car that was there and the front of the car that was coming in. then aoife follow up.

>> we do a preliminary examination of the two vehicles. there is normsome damage inside. there's some buckling of the floor. but where the cars are situated right now did you want allow for a complete inspection to get underneath the cars. and there's some damage where we can look underneath and do a thorough examination and document any other damage we can identify. >> i know you can't speculate, but it appears not only here but in new york several trainen accidents in the last couple years all appear to be caused by speed. what would you say to train engineers who may be listening about your concerns about speed on the rails, which appear to be the cause of many of these cr h crashes. >> we're focusing right now on this investigation. right now, we're collecting all the evidence we can. make sure we don't lose any

parishable evidence right now. speed would be speculating, and i can't say that was a factor right now or not. once we get back to d.c. headquarters, we do a a full system comparison with others to see if we can identify trends. ien wouldn't say speed was a factor. >> this car that was struck, was that out of place or been there? >> right now, we're still collecting records. it was stationed there and parked there. there was no occupants or train operator. it's not unusual for septa to have trains ready to go or recover at different places along the rails. >> you're listening to a news conference at the ntsb on a train crash that injured 42

people. the big question is how a collision could have happened had that safety and slow iing technology. why wasn't it noun that the train was on the track. you heard him addressing that right there saying they are continuing to analyze that video and this happened at 69th street transportation center. second crash at that location in the last six months. >> no question it could take 9 to 12 months to determine the cause for the national transportation safety board. this is the second major incident to disrupt that terminal. in february several train cars derailed after a market frankfurt l train collided with two other cars on a loop track. four people hurt in that incident. a a preliminary report of the cause has not been release d by the ntsb. not surprising considering that 9 to 12-month timetable they talked about. early indications pointed to a problem with the mek that switches trains from one track to another. remember be the first to learn about breaking news in your area by downloading the free nbc 10

out, you see the timing right around 8:00. and i think this will continue into the overnight hours. take a look at the our model here. we take a look and this is within the last hour giving the stronger thunderstorms through the lehigh valley and chester county. from 10:15 through the overnight hours at 1:30, notice that most of these storms have weakened. the overnight hours, the cooling conditions helps to deenergize the storms instead of to strength b them. we have the possibility of anlated storm near philadelphia. the likelihood this will be in the form of showers and pockets of heavier rain and just some lingering showers. things are going to start to get better as we go into tomorrow. glenn "hurricane" schwartz, it's been a hot day. >> but at least it's a one-shot deal. yesterday it felt like it was 89

which is why the forecast is more so overnight, not in the next few hours. here's the timing looking at 9:00 by reading. and philadelphia hour by hour model. it shows the same basic idea. theest thunderstorm chances are in berks 45. we continue from 10:45 through the overnight hours. this is 2:00 a.m. an isolated storm further south. then it clears out with some lingering showers possible on south jersey and the shore tomorrow morning. but overall once the storms move out tonight, things look a lot better by tomorrow. i know right now it's still hot out there. >> the hottest of the day. officially 92 degrees, but look at the beaches. the pmarina only 80 degrees.

it feels like 102 in vinenland. 98 degrees in wilmington and in trenton. but it's not going to foal like that tomorrow. temperatures, it's going to feel just like those temperatures or maybe even a little bit below. so let's say it might feel like 81. you see the dry air across the region. not the jersey shore. we have a chance of some showers first thing in the morning. and it will be cloudier there. as we go. through thursday, just beautiful weather for the eagles game. just doesn't get much better than this. for the weekend, it doesn't get better either. highs in the 70s. sunshine friday, saturday, sunday, can take it into monday too. >> there's a lot at stake in the federal corruption sheet. >> the trial of bob menendez,
