derrick? >> repor gooeven let's be clear. this is a fact-finding report, a release of information. doesn't necessarily get too much into the why but we know what happened. the why as they say is in the details. ta a look at these pictures. what you're seeing is some of the severe damage from arcing done to the third rail and some cables. this happened about 1,100 feet ahead of train 302. now, the ntsb has also released a chronology of how things happen after that. now, they say at 3:06 a circuit breaker at one end of the sectio third rail tripped. it opened up. usually that happens when there a fluctuation in courage or voltage in the line. it a safety measure, so that wod cut a power to the section of a track. ten minutes later at 3:16 we are told that metro operations center turned on ventilation fans remotely in the tunnel because smo w building up. but at 3 chn 50 a breaker at the ot of third was opened remotely

by metro operation center. so that means there was 46 minute the time that first breaker opened up until they opened up the second.d that meant there was possibly power from that section of rail that rescuers needed to get to and passeneing and trying to rescue themselves. it possibl als means you still had power going to whatever fault theret caused that first breaker to open up in the first place. again, these preliminary findings of fact doesn't necessy le get into the whys but it does narrow them to a certain extent. meanwhil while all this is going on you had two trains trapped that tunnel and hundreds of passengers also trapped smoke-filled cars. as we know, one pass died. her preliminary cause of death has been determined to be acute respiry failure. the city is conducting an informat study as well. we are told that the mayor will look at the 911 tapes and get the local response to this. and the lawsuits that have
