But what we are doing is we are finding out how to make the scene as safe as possible so that our investigators can actually get in there. The canopy is actually collapsed on to the train and its a push pull configuration where there are three passenger cars with a locomotive at the end.

When do you hope to have some answers . We get answers all along the way. What we are doing today is we are having our organizational meetings with all of the people who will all of the groups that will give us factual information. So we get Technical Information from various different organizations, and with that factual collection of data, then we take all of that back. We will be on scene for about seven to ten days, and then but that doesnt stop the investigation.

In our next half hour, kris van cleave looks at why the train in hoboken didnt have the appropriate Train Technology that could prevent accidents. One of the mostread newspapers is breaking tradition and endorsing anyone but donald trump. Usa today is taking a stand on a president ial election. The Editorial Board is telling voters not to vote for trump. The paper does not endorse any candidate and has critical words for clinton. But the board says trump is, quote, by unanimous consensus, unfit for the presidency. The election is 39 days away. People in 11 early voting states are already casting ballots. Nancy cordes is in ft. Pierce, florida, where both candidates are battling for votes. Reporter good morning. Clinton will be speaking at this theater several hours from now but a crowd has already began to gather. Florida is a handful of battleground states where the clinton camp is hoping to use its organizational edge to get supporters like these to the polls well before election day. Its a great honor to have her sporting me. She is going to go vote early today. Reporter ruly stein decked out her walker and cast voting on the first day of voting in iowa. Im 103. That is the reason i vote early. Im not taking any chances. Reporter she and other clinton supporters were escorted from a rally in des moines to a polling place and a highly orchestrated effort to run up clintons vote totals in battleground states, six weeks before election day. Are you ready to go to the polls. Reporter later on her campaign plane, clinton was asked about her favorite world leader. Oh, let me think. Oh, no. Reporter she was expecting the question one day after it stumped her libertarian opponent gary johnson. Who is your favorite foreign leader . Im having a brain reporter name anybody clinton named angel merkel. She has been an extraordinary, strong leader. Reporter in New Hampshire, trump fielded the same question. Well, i think merkel is a really great world leader, but i was very disappointed that when she this move with the whole thing on immigration. Reporter trump has been highly critical of merkel saying at one point she is ruining germany. Hillary clinton wants to be americas angela merkel. Reporter his inconsistencies prompted usa today to announce not that they are endorsing clinton, but, quote, disendorsing trump. In an eightpoint takedown, the Editorial Board called trump a dangerous demagogue who is ill equipped to be commander in chief and a serial liar. And who traffics in prejudice. On clinton, the board split are some expressing reservations about her sense of entitlement and lack of candor and extreme carelessness. Usa today did allow trumps running mate mike pence to issue a rebuttal to that disendorsement in the paper. He called donald trump a bold leader, comparing him to Ronald Reagan who, pence said, also made some republicans uncomfortable initially with his unique style. Nancy, thank you so much. Donald trump is not letting go of the controversy over his comments about a former Miss Universe. He lashed out on twitter overnight to attack Alicia Machado and her support of Hillary Clinton. Trump has been outspoken about the beauty queens weight. Major garrett is here with the trumps latest attacks. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. Early this morning, about 5 15 a. M. Precisely, donald trump fired off a trio of tweets personally attacking former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. One tweet he calls her a con. Writes that Hillary Clinton using her as, quote, a paragon of virtue shows bad judgment and trump urges his some 12 million twitter followers to look into a sex tape and ask, did crooked hillary help disgusting alicia m become a u. S. Citizen so she could use her in the debate . This, of course, all began when Hillary Clinton brought up trumps own words about machado at the first president ial debate and reminding he referred to machado as, quote, miss piggy. As owner of the Miss Universe competition, trump sought a Weight Loss Campaign for machado. She was implicated in a 1997 murder case in venezuela and accused of threatening a judge, but never charged on either county. This episode, once again, underscores there is only really one person running the trump campaign, donald trump. But those around him are trying to rein him in and bringing in new jersey governor Chris Christie to try to help trump prepare for the second debate, giving him attack lines because trump respects the way christie took down marco rubio before the New Hampshire primary and his advisers hope trump can do the same thing in preparation for round two. What kind of a difference will it make . Everybody says Chris Christie is a very good debater. He is but its all about the focus that donald trump brings to the task and he didnt bring a requisite focus the first time around those who wish he would. Its entirely up to him and whether he believes the lost the first debate, which im still not convinced he does and if he does, does he need to change his methods . Until trump changes himself, those around him only struggle with the topic. We did learn today he likes to get up early and likes to tweet. Early morning tweeting, no doubt about that. At 5 15 precisely, you say. Got it. World leaders said goodbye to israeli former president and Prime Minister shimon peres. President obama offered a mosque tribute.
