Under those tipped train cars just to freeze some trapped passengers. this happened in the bronx area north of manhattan right near the merger of the hudson and harlem rivers. you can see from video at this scene one of those cars came to a stop on its side just inches from the harlem river. the area where that train came unhinged is a very steep curve. it's considered a slow-speed area. of course, the ntsb is going to determine what went wrong. we don't want to speculate, but there's at least one regular commuter on board who said he felt the train was going much faster than normal. >> yes, i...

This train was headed south. that work train, the garbage train, was headed north. but it's yards that separate these two accidents. so they're going to have to look at whether a repair done to those northbound tracks should also have been done to the south, whether it was done or not, and they're going to have to examine the condition of the whole stretch of track. >> yeah, has foul play been ruled out? >> yes, the fbi was there very early. we also spoke to the senior metro north police officials. they said that specifically at this time, no criminalities. again, it's early, but it really loo...
