>> christa: breaking news at noon. a red line train full of passengers traveling down the tracks without a conductor. it left braintree at 6:08 this morning. crews finally stopped it in dorchester. the conductor was hit and hurt. the train just left without him. quite a story. good afternoon, everybody. i'm christa delcamp. >> sarah: i'm sarah french. red line train departed inbound from braintree station around 6:10 this morning. it passed by several stops. crews eventually killed the

station. coverage live in braintree. with a passenger onboard at the time. >> reporter: we did, sarah. that passenger tells us they got on to that red line train here at braintree just around 6:00 this morning. with no indication that there was anything wrong and no indication that there was no operator. they said they got onboard, the doors closed and the train took off as it normally would in the morning. they said it wasn't until they got to quincy that all of a slow down. the lights began to dim. and then they were stopped. they said the problem was they had no idea what was going on. they didn't know if the train was disabled. that is when some of the passengers obviously, became a little bit antsy. they were trying to get off the train. trying to figure out what was going on. the passengers in the car closest to where the operator should have been, they realized there was no conductor onboard. they said after about 30 minutes, that is when another "t" operator came on without saying exactly what had happened. took all of those passengers

at that point, those passengers were given no explanation of what had happened. you can imagine how frustrating that was for the passengers waiting. . >> everything was normal. nothing unusual. when i arrived, i arrived here around 5:53 in the morning. because i pay the parking. everything was normal. the first train that was on the right side left. we went to the train on the left side. nothing unusual. nothing... it was really, really weird. it was really confusing. everything was dark. everything was stopped. and we were trying to open the doors. we couldn't. we were trying to press the buttons to the emergency room. and nobody heard. and the people on the first car were trying to knock on the door of the conductor. that is when we discovered there was nobody there.

>> we were trying... my only concern was people trying to open the train when we didn't know what was going on. >> as it was moving? >> no. when it was stopped. people were trying to breaking the windows so we could get out. which i was not going to do. i don't know if, you know, the line is on and off. some people were trying to break the windows. most of the people were trying to open the doors. and some other people were just trying to call and see what's going on. people called the m.b.t.a. to say what happened. we really didn't hear anything. i just decided to be quiet and you know, i don't understand anything about trains. i'm not going to try to do anything. >> reporter: so obviously, the m.b.t.a. is trying to figure out exactly what happened. he said they are looking into the possibility as to whether or not this train may have been tampered with.

sources, when officers responded this morning, they responded to somebody hurt on the platform hit by a train. that was obviously the operator who should have been onboard that red line train. now, what we are hearing is that the operator's account is that they were trying to manually switch one of the switchers that the train when the train took off and the operator was hit. we are trying to confirm. that to see, in fact, if that is what happened. we will continue to follow the story throughout the day. the m.b.t.a. saying passenger safety is of the utmost importance. and no passenger were hurt. again, it is going to be continued to be investigated. we are live from braintree, 7 news. is now at a rail yard in dorchester. byron barnett is live with more. byron? >> reporter: yeah. we are at the cabot yard where the train has been for quite a while now. take a look at it sitting right here. this is the six-car red line train, sitting here in the cabot yard.

it is not much activity here. there had been a number of investigators on the scene within the past hour or so. if you look closely, you can see all the doors of the cars are open. we don't know what that signifies. perhaps this is the way the train was when people got off. perhaps this is what the investigators were looking at. this yard is where all the buses and the trains have maintenance performed. and there is training here as well. in addition to the investigators, the maintenance people, if you swing the camera a little bit further, you see a couple of officers. transit officers standing here. the police are here as well. police investigators, maintenance people, all going over this train, trying to figure out what happened here. was this some kind of operator error or was there something else. right now it is pretty quiet here. as you can see, the train is just sitting in the cabot yard, pretty much just waiting here to see what the investigators

not much activity right now. it is train is secure while investigators try to figure out exactly what happened to cause this train to take often and... on its own. i'm byron barnett, 7 news. >> christa: the boston f.b.i. office is confirming that they are aware of what happened. they are in contact with transit police. for the latest on this, let's head live to dorchester. you see 7's dan hausle. dan, what's happening there? well, a lot of the passengers originally got off here the first time the train stopped and then was brought into this station. but the investigation being handled by the m.b.t.a., but we are getting some happened from the governor's office. originally, the m.b.t.a. was telling us that a safety system on the train had been disabled. that left room for... was it disabled intentionally or not.

the governor's office confirming there was tampering with controls on the train. and they say these trains are there is no driver. a lot of passengers asking us about a dead-man switch that wouldn't allow the train to operate, and the governor's designed not to operate if there is not a driver there. something was changed. the governor's office says they were tampered with. the f.b.i. also looking in on this. right now an m.b.t.a. investigation. the f.b.i. says they are monitoring this situation. this comes as we get a statement from the m.b.t.a.'s general manager in which he says, "passenger safety is the highest priority for the m.b.t.a., and this highly troubling incident is under investigation by transit police detectives. " a spokesperson for the governor saying governor baker is grateful no passengers were incident. and will be monitoring the investigation closely. so again, you have the m.b.t.a. taking the lead here. the investigators looking into

us that controls were tampered with. and the f.b.i. saying they are keeping an eye on what's happening and what is learned. live in dorchester, dan hausle, 7 news. >> sarah: we want to mention that governor baker is at an event in plymouth right now. this is the plymouth county sheriff's training center. he is due to speak about what happened on the red line today and if and when he does step up to the podium during this live broadcast, we will, of course, bring that to you right here on 7. we also want to let you know we will stay on top of this breaking news throughout the day. both on air and on-line. check whdh.com and the 7 news mobile app for the latest information. we will put new details on facebook and twitter as well. the murder fril of a teenager accused of raping and killing his high school math teacher is getting close to going to the jury. >> christa: more proceedings are happening today. victoria warren is outside the courthouse with more. >> reporter: yeah. potentially yet another delay with this trial. today was supposed to be a

about jury instructions. now they are in recess as the judge has to consider a motion from the defense. they want to include some new evidence, even thee they have already rested it. the judge is actually considering it. on the eve of closing arguments, on a day when the jury isn't even present, another possible delay in the murder trial against teen suspect philip chism. >> that seems fundamentally unfair to the qept on the eve of closing arguments. >> reporter: at issue: brain scans that weren't allowed as evidence. >> problem with the doctor is i don't believe him. i just don't believe him. >> reporter: the defense wasn't allowed to say the scans show chism who is accused of killing his math teacher is schizophrenic. now the defense wants to say the scans can also explain why he may have faked other psychiatric tests.

extreme mental health symptoms which is the commonwealth's case. report tt judge will have to take the drastic step of flying the doctor in to testify without the jury present if the scans can be used in the way the defense wants to argue. and the judge needs to make his ruling soon. also philip chism was present this morning despite yesterday, saying he didn't want to be there. he has decided he does not want to be present for the rest of the afternoon. live in salem, victoria warren, 7 news. >> christa: all right. back to our breaking news of the day. we have been hearing about this train that left a station there in braintree. the red line train without a driver. we have been telling you how the state's governor is due to address the situation. there you see him coming out of the doors here of the plymouth county sheriff's training center. this is in plymouth. he has been there for a scheduled meeting of the massachusetts sheriff's association. best but obviously, given

there at this station. leaving so many people frightened. let's listen. ff. >> good afternoon. so i think as many people know, there was a train that left braintree this morning that was unmanned. the passengers were let off. thankfully, nobody was hurt. the trainitte... itself, it was determined that it was unmanned and traveling from braintree within a couple of minutes when it left, the power on the third rail was shut off at that point in time. the train koersed because it had momentum at that point forward. through several stations before it came to a stop. inspection of the train determined that some of the controls had been manipulated. and there is an ongoing investigation right now that involves folks from the m.b.t.a., from d.o.t. and public safety. from what we can tell at this

isolated incident. >> governor, is the f.b.i. involved in the investigation, to your knowledge? >> to my knowledge at this point, they are not involved. i believe it is public safety, d.o.t., and the m.b.t.a. >> you said this morning it was tampered with. >> manipulated, tampered with. it is pretty clear that it was set in forward motion which is why it moved in the first place when the signal was manipulated. but as i said, within a couple of minutes of it leaving, the third rail was turned off and it coasted through several stations. >> the motor man, what was his role, to the best of your knowledge? it was explained to me that he detected something wrong with the train, got out to check it,. was wrong. he got out to check the signal. then it went forward. -last question. >> did he have something to do

>> the investigation will involve questions. they will talk to others as well. i don't want to draw conclusions about that until the investigation is a little further along. this? are people safe? >> look, as i said, at this point, we believe this is an isolated incident. and i think the system overall is running on normal schedule and a normal way. this particular incident is being investigated on its own. but as i said, within a couple of minutes that, train leaving the station, they cut the power and it coasted until it stopped. >> to your knowledge, is it conceivable, governor, that this person put something in gear and said, i better get... and made a mistake? >> i don't want to get too hypothetical about this. i think the big question at this point, that you are one. you know, the discussion that's going to take place on negligence versus something else.

>> is tampering a question? >> it is pretty clear the main control that drives the train was tampered with. but as bill just said, i think the big issue on this is whether it was a negligence issue or something else. >> thanks, everybody. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> christa: looks like the headline coming out of this here is that the governor has been kept aware of the situation on the red line earlier today. and it looks like at this point, this is an isolated incident. that this was perhaps a case of negligence, that he was talking about. just to bring you up to speed if you are just joining us. this happened earlier today when this train that you are looking at left the station on its own. without a driver. nos one operating it. the big question here, why, how, how did this happen? he does say it appears the controls had been manipulated to. what end? and why?

was supposedly operating that train got out at some point. it sounds like to check a signal and he was injured. very important to note, we were reporting earlier, correctly, that the f.b.i. was being kept aware of the situation just as a precaution. given state of affairs around the globe today there. you heard the governor saying that the f.b.i. at this time, is not involved. >> >> sarah: yeah. the governor said saying the m.b.t.a., public safety, and d.o.t. are involved right now. we will take a quick break. we will have much more after

>> jeremy: a few rain-drops out there earlier this morning. otherwise, we have turned the temperatures up. a mild afternoon ahead of us. a mixture of sun and clouds. at times, more clouds than sun. regard lets, we are warming up. 50's and 60's. plenty of them on the 7-day

54 in boston right now. that wind out of the south, southwest at five miles an hour. dew point up to about 48. we do have a little bit more moisture in place. that will allow for some low clouds at times overnight tonight. the bottom line is the warm weather will continue. 54 in boston. look at. that 61 in providence, rhode island right now. unbelievable for this time of year to have a consistently warm pattern. any rain-drops we had earlier this morning now off to the east of us. in its wake, dry times to be had for the rest of the afternoon. into the evening hours. warm weather extending all the way back through new york city, down into washington, d.c.. i do expect not much to change several days. week. so some sunshine at times. easy for me to say. with that sun. mostly cloudy. still mild out there. these overnight lows, nowhere close to the freezing mark. temperatures into the lower and middle 40's. as i mentioned, the mild

through the next several days. including the weekend. >> reporter: yeah, it will be really nice the next few days. temperatures actually, above average. mild today. tomorrow, we will see the sun peek through in the afternoon. still above average, though. look at this temperature trend. as we head into the weekend, temperatures climb into the 60's. sunday is the day we need to talk about. here is why. this back-door cold front comes in as we head into your sunday. depending on where it sets up, we could see a big range in temperatures from the northern to the southern area. we could see temperatures 40's. and south of the front in the 60's. a big spread across the area. the 7 on 7 forecast, you can see that really well. we are at 59 today. 60's friday and saturday. then as we head into sunday, look at this. up towards the north, we are in the 40's. then in the 50's.

>> christa: we continue to follow breaking news. a red line train full of passengers was traveling down the tracks with no operator. we have been following this story all morning long. it left braintree at 6:0 this morning. 30 minutes later, someone actually got on to help these passengers. some people were trying to break out of windows and get the doors open. clearly, very frightened. we are talking about a train that was unmanned. no operator. no conductor. as you mentioned, sar remarks it finally made a stop in dorchester. so the conductor was also hit and hurt.

we do know that he received some minor injuries. there you see some of the workers throughout on the tracks trying to recreate things and get to the bottom of this investigation. we do know from the state's governor who spoke moments ago, that it appears the controls had been tampered with. whether this was a case of negligence or something else at this point, is unclear. we will be following this story and we will be right back after this quick break. terror attack in paris. then, a brutal act of it's time for a tested who won't try to contain isis. jeb bush has a plan... to destroy them. and keep america safe. should not delay in leading a global coalition to take out isis

>> sarah: breaking news at noon. a red line train traveling down the tracks without a conductor. it left braintree at 6:08 this morning. >> christa: m.b.t.a. crews finally made it stop in dorchester.

him. good afternoon, everybody. >> sarah: we have team 7 coverage of this breaking news story. of course, the red line train departed inbound from braintree station around 6:10 this morning. it passed by several stops. crews eventually killed the power to the third rail and got it to stop at north quincy station. nicole oliverio begins our coverage live in braintree. nicole, you spoke to a passenger who was onboard during really all this chaos. >> reporter: sar frarx you can imagine, you know if you are taking the "t," you are getting ready to go to work. 6:00 is a popular time for everybody to be getting on the train. many people aren't paying attention to whether or not there is an operator onboard. you would assume there is a this passenger we spoke with says she got on to the red line train here at braintree. she says it took off without any problems. there was no indication that there was anything wrong. she said it wasn't until they got to the quincy area that the train began to slow down.

and passengers were wondering what was going on. now, they were sitting without any word of what was happening for about 30 minutes. she said it wasn't until the passengers who were closest to where the operator would be leaned over to ask what was going on and realized there was no operator. she says after about 30 minutes, someone from the m.b.t.a. did show up and that's how they managed to get to the j.f.k.-umass station. when they got off, they were not told what happened. they had no idea this had anything to do with a disabled train or what was going on. it was really only those passengers at the front who noticed that there was no so passengers, of course, frightened... one woman talk about what it was like inside the train when all of this was going on. >> everything was normal. nothing unusual. when i arrived... i arrived around 5:53 in the morning. i pay the parking. everything was normal. the first train that was on

so we went with the train on the left side. nothing unusual. nothing they would say, you know felt off. it was really, really weird. it was really confusing. everything was dark. everything was stopped. and we were trying to open the and we couldn't. we were trying to press the and nobody heard. and the people in the first car were trying to knock on the door of the conductor. that's when we discovered there was nobody there. we had no idea. >> there was other people. my only concern was, you know, people trying to open the train. when we don't know what was going on. >> were they trying to open the door as it was moving? >> no. when it was stopped. people were trying to break the windows so we could get out. which i was not going to do. some people were trying to break the windows. most of the people were trying

and some other people were just trying to call and see i know people called the m.b.t.a. to say what happened. we really didn't hear anything. >> reporter: the latest from governor charlie baker, he believes the train was tampered with and that's why it was able to take off without the operator. as officers responded this morning, they only responded to hear that somebody was hurt on the platform. they later realized it was the operator. now, according to our sources, the operator's story is that he had to manually fix that problem. the operator claims that that's when the train jerked forward and took off. again, governor baker says they are investigating because it seems as though the train had been tampered with. now, who did that and exactly what happened and was it intentional? that is all going to be investigated.

saying that passenger safety is of utmost importance. it is what they are most concerned with. they are just happy there were no passengers that were hurt. that woman we spoke with said when it was time for her to take the train to come home, make sure there was an operator. live from braintree, 7 news. >> sarah: byron barnett is live with more. >> reporter: yeah. we are at the cabot yard here. these trains. behind me over here. now, we don't have the same view we had before. because a couple of cars are partially blocking it. you can see the front of the train there. there are some investigators who are inside the train right now. and just a few feet away, several other... looked like investigators. some wearing yellow safety jackets. police here as well. m.b.t.a., transit police. and the department of transportation investigators.

what was going on. now, we have a better view of some video we shot earlier. you can see the entire train. again, these six-car red line trains here, a number of the doors are still wide open after this incident. the train after was stopped when they disabled the tracks. the third rail. the engineer, we are told, got on and drove it over to the cabot yard here. maintenance for the buses and the trains. they do training and so forth. so it's pretty quiet here now. the investigators are on the train as we said. they are calling all over, trying to figure out exactly what happened here. if this train was tampered with, who did it, what happened, was it something on purpose. investigation. but the folks are here on the investigators, maintenance people. and the police officers. that is the latest live here

i'm byron barnett, 7 news. >> christa: earlier, we were told the f.b.i. was made aware of what happened. they were in contact with m.b.t.a., transit police as a precaution. however, the governor just saying during that news conference a few moments ago, the f.b.i. is not involved at this point in this investigation. so just clarifying that. as we send it up to dan hausle, in dorchester, dan, maybe you can tell uls more of what the governor said. >> reporter: well, the governor's office has been the best source of some information. the m.b.t.a. investigating. the governor's office gives us some indication behind the investigation. originally, we were told by the m.b.t.a. that safety systems on the train were disabled. that left open the question of exactly how the governor's office... the governor saying the controls were tampered with. this makes it more difficult and interesting to understand. the governor's office saying that there are systems on the train that are supposeds to

is no operator. a lot of people asking us, is there a dead-man switch on the train? the governor's office says there are systems on the train that are supposed to keep it from operating when there is no operator. the governor's office also saying that is some of the controls were tampered with. but not saying whether, for sure, it was intentional or whether it might have been negligent. here is the governor speaking within the hour. >> thankfully, nobody was hurt. the train itself, it was determined that it was unmanned and traveling from braintree within a couple of minutes of when it left. the power on the third rail was shut off at that point in time. the train coasted. because it had momentum at that point forward. through several stations before it came to a stop. inspection of the train determined that some of controls had been manipulated. and there is an ongoing investigation right now that involves folks from the

from public safety. from what we can tell at this point, it appears to be an isolated incident. the big question at this point, that you are asking, bill, is the right one. you know, the discussion that will take place on our end is going to be negligence versus something else. tlort you see one of the key questions the governor says is was this intentional? was this negligence? you heard him say the controls were manipulated. when asked if he was falling back from the word that they were tampered with, he said no, they were either manipulated or tampd tampered with. he wasn't pulling back. controlled were tampered. the question, though, was it intentional or negligence? dan hausle, 7 news. >> christa: we are staying on top of this breaking news story on air and on-line. you can also check whdh.com and the 7 news mobile app for the latest information on this and other breaking stories and when we get new details, we will post them on facebook and twitter.

a nice mild afternoon. here is a live look outside. chris lambert, it is hard to believe it is december. i'm okay wit, though. >> jeremy: 55 in the city of boston. wind out of the west, southwest at six miles an hour. that wind warms us up. it kicked out some showers. light showers that we had earlier this morning. the clouds sometimes have to break this time of year. we are beginning to see these clouds erode and more breaks of sun appearing. a mixture of sun and clouds 55 in boston. look at this. 61 degrees in providence, rhode island. 50 in nashua, new hampshire. upper 50's to near 60 this afternoon. afternoon. after some clouds around in the morning. and the mild weather conning into the weekend.

week. we will talk more ahead. >> christa: donald trump has postponed a december trip to israel, saying that he intends to visit after he becomes president. he will also be campaigning in portsmouth, new hampshire today. and he had some harsh words for president obama. >> we can't be politically correct stupid people. we have a president... i think he is a stupid person. our president is the greatest divider i have ever seen. excuse me. our country has never been more divided than what barack obama has done. whether it's white on black, whether it's... our country has never been more divided. >> christa: trump's controversial plan to ban all muslims from entering the u.s. is sparking major backlash. a facebook comment from the facebook founder mark zuckerberg voiced support for muslims.

my parents taught me that we must stand up against attacks on all communities. even if an attack isn't against you today. in time, attacks on freedom nor anyone will hurt everyone." muhammad ali, a devout muslim released a statement saying "i am a muslim. there is nothing islamic about killing innocent people in paris, san bernardino, or anywhere else in the world. true muslims know this goes against our religion." >> sarah: breaking news. a red line train full of passengers traveling down the tracks without an operator. m.b.t.a. crews finally stopped it in dorchester. they say the conductor was hit when he stepped off the train to check the signal that apparently wasn't working. he is okay, though. he had minor injuries. no passengers were hurt. governor baker saying the controls were manipulated. the m.b.t.a., d.o.t., and public safety are now investigating.

>> jeremy: the weather pattern has remained unchanged here in the first days of december. running above the average. this time of year, average high is 44 in boston. yesterday was a cooler day. still, 46, above the average. not only were we above the

we were substantially above into early next week. look at the numbers right now. 55 in boston. 53 in bedford. 57 in plymouth. island. sprinkles we had pushing offshore. cloud cover still lingering in place. we are getting more breaks in the cloud cover. and the temperatures this afternoon staying mild into the upper 50 and lower 60's. here we are in boston. at 55 degrees. mild weather still back to the south and southwest of us. i don't expect this pattern to change much as we go through the next several days. this afternoon, about 58, 59. in boston, lower 6's. perhaps a full 60's out through the blackstone valley. overnight tonight, mostly cloudy skies. still mild. nowhere close to the freezing mark. 42-46. with such a mild start tomorrow, once the early clouds shake off, we get some breaks of sun, it is mild again. mid-50's to lower 60's. we did mention the weekend forecast. the next best chance of rain.
