This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening, well, the curve was sharp and the train was going way too fast. Late today, federal investigators say that the commuter train was bolting down the track at 82 miles an hour as it approaches the 30 miles an hour zone in the bronx, new york, early yesterday. Cars from the metro north train flew off the tracks and nearly into the harlem river. Four people were killed. Some were thrown from the train. 75 others were hurt and 11 of them critically injured. Investigators are poring over the data from the trains black boxes to find out why this happened. We have a team of correspondents covering the story starting with jeff pegues at the crash scene. Jeff . Reporter scott, investigators were able to determine the speed of the train from the black box which is show the throttle was cut and the brakes were applied far too late. By the time the train reached the curve it was traveling nearly three times as fast as it should have been. Earl wainer is an n. T. S. B. Board member. The preliminary information and let me emphasize this is preliminary information from the event recorders show that the train was traveling at approximately 82 Miles Per Hour as it went into a 30 miles an hour curve. That speed again was 82 miles an hour at the entrance to a 30 miles an hour curve. Reporter the train passed through a 70 miles an hour zone then entered into a 30 miles an hour curve traveling at 82 miles an hour, 52 miles over the speed limit. The brakes were fully applied just five seconds before the train came to a complete stop likely after the train had already started to derail. The throttle was cut just six seconds before the train stopped. It was only six seconds before everything came to a stop that the throttle went to idle. Reporter so this was late in the game . Very late in the game. Reporter the n. T. S. B. Says its still reviewing the data from the recorders and interviewing the trains four crew members. Among them the engineer, 46 yearold william rockefeller, jr. On sunday, Law Enforcement sources say rockefeller a 20 year m. T. A. Employee told First Responders that he hit the brakes as he was approaching the curve but the train did not respond. Investigators say so far they have not discovered any evidence to suggest there was any problem with the brakes and, scott, they say its too early to tell if the cause of the derailment was human error or faulty equipment. Pelley jeff, thanks very much. Investigators also want to know what witnesses saw and heard and don dahler has that part of the story. Reporter early this morning, huge cranes began lifting the 40 ton derailed cars and the locomotive. Train derailment is down by the train station. We have five cars off the tracks. Reporter had you ever seen anything like that before . No, no. Reporter photographer felix lam lives above the crash site. He says he will never forget the sound of the accident. I hear a roaring noise like a mountain when the rocks are coming down. Down. Reporter look an avalanche . Right. Reporter lam grabbed his camera and arrived down the hill before most of the First Responders. He captured the rescue efforts, the dismay of the victims and the chaos of what had been a quiet sunday morning. The train left poughkeepsie, new york, at 5 54 a. M. With about 150 passengers. Many were going to work or returning from the Holiday Weekend. At the time of the wreck they were just 21 minutes away from their final destination, Grand Central terminal.

Is the weight distributed correctly in the cars . Thats another thing to look at. Reporter the entire train was removed to an undisclosed location. Scott, what happens next is the tracks have to be repaired and then fully inspected before service will be restored to this busy stretch of commuter railway. Pelley don dahler at the scene on the harlem river. Don, thanks very much. And today Michelle Miller spoke with one of the survivors. Im feeling pretty lucky, to tell you the truth. Reporter lucky . Yeah, very lucky. Reporter Dennis Oneill boarded the metro north at 7 02 a. M. Heading to a trade show in new york city. 18 minutes later he realized something was wrong. Did you feel the train braking at all . I did not. I could feel the car lean and flop over hard and as we were sliding down all the windows a lot of the windows had blown out. A lot of dirt was blowing through. At that point there was nothing to do but cover up. There was enough time to think the bad thoughts like this could be it. Reporter how scary were those few seconds . Scariest moments of my life, yeah. Reporter oneill remembers people crying for help. He found his ipad and his cell phone and dialed 911. Then he called his wife maureen. They had just celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary on thanksgiving. They have three children. Have you really processed it all .

In another important story tonight, the Health Care Web site faced its first big test today since the Obama Administration said that it met its deadline to make healthcare. Gov work smoothly for the vast majority of shoppers. Trouble since the sites debut in october has cut into enrollments. We learned today that 100,000 signed up in november for a total of more than 206,000 so far, but that is a million short of the enrollees projected. Wyatt andrews has been checking into the web site today. Wyatt . Reporter scott, the Administration Says that 375,000 people tried to shop on healthcare. Gov and that was before noon today. Officials called that a strong sign of interest but, again, that high a number created some problems. When june milesmays tried to sign up for obamacare at a miami health center, the web site put her on hold. We need you to wait the site advised so we can make sure theres room for you. It was her third attempt at signing up. Very frustrating for me because i need insurance so badly and it seems like something in the system or something is not working. Reporter the need you to wait prompt is a new feature of healthcare. Gov. When the system is overloaded, it puts applicants in a queue and promises an email when its their turn. But despite promise it is web site could handle 50,000 users at the same time, the queuing system was turned on today at approximately 35,000 users. Officials said they had to maximize the smooth User Experience of those who applied first. There are also potential problems for the thousands who have signed up for new plans. Officials are just now building the system for how Insurance Companies will be paid and the Companies Say their enrollments are slow because of Bad Information coming from the government. Robert zirkelbach is with Americas Health insurance plans, the main lobbying group for the industry. Theyre still receiving files that are duplicative, include missing and inaccurate information or in some cases theyre not getting the files at all. Reporter what is the potential danger or down side to the applicant . The concern that everybody wants to avoid is a situation where somebody thinks that theyre enrolled but, in fact, theyre not. Reporter the white house still argues the web site is better than ever and is enrolling an average of several thousand people everyday. Two months ago, 375,000 visitors would have cashed the system but today, scott, it held up and was able to put people in line.

That means, shell learn about her enroll. Probably in a week or two. Pelley wyatt, thanks very much. Retail web sites are apparently working quite well.

Very hot thursday night but things quieted down very rapidly so it was only so so. Reporter and after the weak business on black friday, johnson estimates sales this season will be up only about 3 . And thats very anemic growth and the reason is that real disposable income, the latest reading year over year is only up 0. 9 , which is minuscule. Reporter Online Shopping has been stronger. U. P. S. Expects to pick up more than 32 million package this is cyber monday, about a million more than last year. A survey by i. B. M.
