The new chairman of the Councils Education Committee is pushing for the new ordinance while mayor gray opposes it. Today, there was a forum on truancy at ann Beers Elementary School in the hillcrest neighborhood. John henrehan was there and joining us live from the newsroom. Was the proposed now law a major topic in. And that is largely the topic. When high introduced it, part of the new law required mandatory when unexcused absences exceeded 20 days a year and hes willing to drop that provision and believes that city intervention is necessary when students dont come to school.

And that is something that takes a second and fallling on the tracks happens on accidents more often than you might think. What if it happened to you on metro . Fox 5 Investigative Reporter sherri ly shows us what to do and how one woman survived. Reporter it doesnt take a subway pusher to fall on to metro rails track. In some cases, metro said people arent paying attention. Theyre multitasking when they fall by accident. Its rare and has happened on metro rail and now well show you one way to survive if you end up in the path of a train. In the hustle and bustle of a metro rail station, people get jostled. Its almost like a wrestling match. Reporter push and shove. Im very close on the butt. Reporter and sometimes it happens. People fall. I would say maybe three to five times in a month. Reporter over a year, that is up to 60 time 60 times a person ends up on the tracks, usually unintentionally. Sometimes people drop things and drop down to retrieve it with little thought for the danger. Typically in most situations, the customer finds a way to the platform. Reporter sometimes they cant and watch the Surveillance Video four years ago here. As the crowd is walking away, can you see it at the top of the screen, a woman falls on to the tracks. People try to help but within seconds, the lights begin blinking signaling a train arriving. Another camera shows people waiving desperately to stop the train. The video shows it in real time from the time the woman fell until the train arrived passing her takes just 17 seconds. Houston Transit Police officer Elliott Swanson remembers it clearly. And i turned to look into the track line and saw a person standing there with their arms in the air. Reporter he was working with metro for president obamas first inauguration. He had a few hours emergency training. She didnt have a lot of er how she survived is 11 and that is increasingly important after recent subway attacks elsewhere and last month, Surveillance Video from philadelphia shows a 23year old woman dragged off the platform and thrown on to the track. In 20 years, i havent seen anything this horrific. Reporter show climbed up and that came after two subway pusher attacks in new york city. Including a man police say was pushed to his death after an argument. And no one helped as he desperately tried to climb up from the tracks. My another person who would hesitate to not help anyone else. Reporter if this had been the d. C. Metro system, there may have been a way to survive. Its called an area of refuge, running the length of the platform beneath the overhang. Its a few feet high and 28 inches wide. About the same as these two pieces of paper put together and its meant as a last resort. When you cant escape an oncoming train. Using this bench as an example, you need to lie down up against the wall and as flat as you can and dont move. That is an entire train energized at this point in time. Can you touch a piece of the train that is electrified and electrocuted. Reporter ask metro riders and few people know the refuge area exists. And looking at it, many are skeptical. I dont believe so. I dont think so we we need to see someone do it to believe it. Im going to start praying. That is all i have. Reporter the 2009 2009 Surveillance Video is proof that the train cant stop in time and the woman is on the tracks still and that is when he remembered something from his brief training. I just started pushing her down and telling her to stay underneath the platform. The train came closer and she jetted back out again. I had to push her back in and the train rolled through. Reporter the train and track were deenergized while the woman remained trapped between the platform and train car still alive. The woman escaped without serious injuries. I had time to sit there and watch it and look at it, you know, just scratch my head and thankful it was there. Reporter the recent subway attack brought everything flashing back. And that is it happens. You hope people will react and do something, not just stand by and watch. Reporter metro has stairs at the end of the platform from the track bed, but if a train is approaching, there may not be time to get there. And if you have managed to avoid being electrocuted by the highvoltage third rail, the refuge under the platform might be the only hope of survival. Metro stresses this area is meant only as a last resort. If you see someone who fell on the metro tracks, call 911 and alert the station manager. Whatever you do, dont jump on to the tracks to help. Now, you have not one but two highways at risk. Sherri ly, fox 5 news. That is scary. Yeah. And that is real. And you go with your kids, too. Yeah. And clawed on to them. Absolutely.
