It included video of a similar months ago. Brianne carter spent her day at the hearing and joins us live from southwest d. C. Just in the past two hours, not only did metro reveal probable cause in the deadly smoke incident, but also, 43 findings and more than 30 recommendations for metro into the deadly smoke incident that happened on january 12, 2015. Officials say that the ntsb, probable cause was a short circuit that came from practices a really maintenance, failed practices, that h circuit where water and contaminants got into improperly constructed power cable connectors as a result of ineffective inspection and maintenance practices. Throughout the day, the ntsb highlighted a lack of Safety Culture at metro. Ntsb says metro either didnt follow its own procedures or didnt have procedures in place, including how to operate the fans to properly ventilate in a smoke incident. The closest Smoke Detector to the smoke from that incident, we understand, had a faulty wire. It was not originally detected by the rail operations center. Meanwhile, a Smoke Detector was 2000 feet away. That is because, we learned today, that while metro has Smoke Detectors in the station, they do not have them inside the tunnel. Today ntsb says metro was using passenger trains to pinpoint where smoke was originating from. Metro, however, says that is not currently a policy and the policy hasnt changed. Then the next operator will go by and see if there is anything they see, because we get lots of reports of that. But i will look at that. They have a recommendation and i will take a harder look. As we sit here today, the train operating in any state in this country has a lot more regulations than metrorail train does. Regulations, as for come that was a big topic for the ntsb today, talking about the fda, who currently has safety oversight over metro, saying that instead, the fra needs to have that. We will have more on that and what ntsb had to say to the department of transportation today. That is tonight at 5 00. Brianne carter, abc7 news.
