so for that, let's go to washington to rene marsh, and rene, tell me what we've learned from the firstbefore the crash, we know that the first officer warned the crew that the plane was descending too fast. pilots who have blown 777s say 52 seconds is more than enough time to react and correct the problem, but for whatever reason, the problem was not also, wnow kwhathe pot flng the plane was uncomfortable with landing it visually, without the help of .nrunt teluiim healle vl approaches, quote, difficult and stressful, and we also know that he wasn't very confident about how the 777's automated systems worked. and he felt that, according to what he told to investigators, he should have studied it a little bit more. as we have been reporting, brooke, we know that investigators are concerned about pilots overreliance on these automated cockpit systems and today at the hearing, we just saw, still going on, they questioned an expert about how the systems work. take a listen. >> we accept the fact that pilots, as all humans, make errors. we try to make errors that can be corrected. and notic

cnn's rene marsh is covering today's hearing in washington. i guess a big question is, did the pilots rely as some have suggested too heavily on automation, the computers that can run the plane? >> that is one of the key questions that investigators are digging into. and you know, we just got some new video coming out of that hearing that we want to get right to. we know that that video again, this is from airport security cameras, and this shows us a different perspective that we have never seen before of this crash as it happened. that is the video that you're looking at there. some incredible details coming out of this hearing. the ntsb says that the pilot flying the plane was concerned prior to the crash. he told investigatorshate found a visual approach difficult and stressful. we should mention he was tasked with making a visual approach as he was going to san francisco's airport. now, when asked how confident he was about his knowledge of the triple 7s automated flight systems, i'm quoting from the transcript, he said, he's not so confi

let's bring in cnn's rene marsh joining from us washington.ast the train was going but we still don't know why. this morning, investigators have more questions for a man who may have the answers. ntsb investigators continue searching for clues this morning and questioning train engineer william rockefeller for a second day in hopes of learning why this metro north train was going so fast. >> from the event recorders, shows that the train was traveling at approximately 82 miles per hour. as it went into a 30 mile-an-hour curve. >> reporter: that's nearly three times the speed limit for thi

let's go to washington and rene marsh for more on that. rene? >> freed and michael, we are learning more information about what happened in the moments before that speeding train jumped the tracks in the bronx. two senior law enforcement sources tell cnn producer that the train's engineer, william rockefeller, told investigators on the scene he was dazed in the moments leading up to the crash and he didn't know what happened. when asked by investigators was he -- what he essentially was thinking about, the engineer said he couldn't say. now, we should note other media outlets have reported that rockefeller admitted to falling asleep. however, the official stressed that the engineer never said he actually fell asleep. rockefeller also told investigators on site that the brakes had failed him. but again, we know that the ntsb will be looking intoing whether fatigue played a role and, of course, that is routine. one other point. we know the union has not yet made any comments or they're not commenting on this new revelation that apparently he told

. >> joining me with more are our own nic robertson and renee marsh. nick, you're there on the scene. any update first of all of the condition of some of those injured in the crash? >> we know 16 people were taken away for treatment. 67 people taken away for treatment. 16 at least remain in hospital. three of them are in critical condition. at st. barnabus hospital in the bronx. there are nine patients still there. seven in icu. the doctor there we talked to earlier today described how this isn't just a physical recovery. there's going to be a tough emotional recovery, as well ahead. >> for a lot of these people, the metro north train from upstate to new york city was their way of commuting to work. i think a lot of these people will have to contend with, you know, getting back to normal life at some point and having to get back on a metro north train that goes right through that the same area at some point. and i -- i think that's going to be very difficult for them, honestly, you know, i don't know how they're going to deal with that. i assume with t

cnn's rene marsh is in washington with much more. rene, passengers rights, is that another way to make sure you do not kill people on a plane. >> yes, translation you could put it that way, chris. let's back step it just a little bit. here's what happened. the fcc voted 3-2 to consider ending this ban on in-flight cell use, like voice calls and texting, because they say new technology essentially eliminates the risk of interfering with cell towers on the ground. that was reason for the decades old ban. that created a stir, mainly from people who hate the idea and i can tell you shortly after that vote we heard from multiple lawmakers saying not if i can do anything about it. at this point, there is both a bill in the house and the senate aimed at blocking in-flight cell calls, chris. >> i've decided to be in favor just to be controversial. let's keep the conversation going. there's another federal agency, the d.o.t., the department of transportation which could preempt the whole thing and end this conversation. tell us about that. >>

right, rene marsh? rene marsh is covering this story.ng it, carol. you saw those live pictures. fcc is moving forward today with its proposal to allow fliers to text and talk on their flight. all fcc commissioners will vote on whether to lift the ban. in ano op-ed this morning, dozes of companies around the world permit use of cell phones and airlines have taken advantage of the flexibility that those systems offer. he calls the ban outdated and says that technology has advanced enough that cell phone transmissions from the air would not interfere with towers on the ground. we should say after the fcc does complete this vote today, the issue will be open for public comment. and this will be a topic of discussion, carol. >> i'm just thinking about it. on a train, you can go to the quiet car, right, where people aren't allowed to talk on their cell phones. but on a plane, you're sort of trapped. >> you're stuck. >> so i guess the airline -- individual airlines could decide whether to allow you to talk on the phone or not, in spite of the f

cnn's rene marsh has details. >> the details make you shake your head and ask, how could this happen? the pilots got the warning. they were aware they were going down too fast, but the problem wasn't corrected, and it may just be they didn't understand how the automated systems work newry released individual show crashes last july in san francisco. now we know more about what was happening inside the cockpit. it's clear the plane was descending too quickly. today we learned someone noticed. the cockpit voice recorders say 52 seconds before the crash, a relief pilot in the backseat of the cockpit called out sink rate, warning the plane was dropping too fast. yes, sir, the pilot responded. the warning repeated in english and korean. the pilot at the controls was a trainee on the 777, but had substantial experience in other aircraft. he told investigator he was not confident in understanding how the plane's autoflight system worked and he felt he should study more. he also said it was, quote, difficult and stressful to land the plane visually without an instrument approach to guide them,
