NTSB: Train was speeding before deadly crash

We are now learning the Metro-North train that flew off a curve Sunday morning, just north of Manhattan, was traveling 82 mph in a 30 mph zone. That's faster than the 70 mph speed limit for straight and level track. This was the first wreck in the railroad's history. Jason Carroll has the latest on the investigation.
