Just a short time ago, they were able to rescue him and news4s Darcy Spencer is live on the scene of this still developing story. Reporter tis was a pretty incredible rescue. If you take a look at this huge tower here behind me, its 100 feet tall. Im told this welder was on the top of the tower. Somehow fell down inside there, 50 feet, and was literally danglinging in mid air by his safety harness. Form fortunately, he was wearing that and thats what caught him. It took three hours to get him out of this water tower here in gainesville. They put him on a stretcher, brought him out to an ambulance. And then he was taken to a local school where he was choppered out to an area hospital. Were told hes going to be okay. But he was in a lot of pain. In fact, he had to give him some pain operation. One of the things that they were telling us, this was very difficult for them to do. They had to use ropes, they had to use ladders and Different Things inside here for this technical rescue. Fairfax county came in and helped Prince William county with this. Very difficult. It took three hours to get this done. And they say they also had to bring in an interpreter, because there was a language barrier are. It was the worker himself who called for help. We believe hes the one that called 911 to let us know that he was injured. He seems to be in good spirits. They are working with him through the interpreter to keep him calm.

Top metro leaders saying they might not be getting the truth about those repairs being made to the system. If your mechanic tells you your car is being fixed, but not all of the fixes are being made, thats a problem. And for metro, the possibility is being raised that its happening on a much larger scale. It appears to be a systemic problem. Outlines are given as to remediations needed for problems that are clearly defined. And a year later or whenever, you dont see that the progress has been made. All of this coming into focus after last weeks smoke and fire episode at the Mcpherson Square station, where power cables burned up.

Are metros top leaders being told repairs are being made when they really arent . Im making that clear that that is not acceptable. If i find that, that will not be tolerated.
