The apology comes one day after mayor Muriel Bowser released her report in response to the accident. Some of the major takeaways, the city said a First Responder trying to reach the smoke filled train said Radio Communication was, quote, nonexistent. Also First Responders were concerned about the trains on nearby tracks and currents on the third rail. Despite the breakdown in communications firefighters and d. C. s mayor defending their response.

Next up we have reporters notebook, a look at stories affecting our community. Were back in 15 minutes with more top stories. Good morning. Welcome to reporters notebook. Im pat lawson muse. We begin this morning with the deadly metro train incident last week. There are still many Unanswered Questions about the yellow line train that stopped and was filled with smoke leaving a 61yearold alexandria woman dead and 83 others injured, two of them critically. There are questions about Response Time whether there was a breakdown in communications among First Responders inside and outside the tunnel how long it took metro to turn off power to the third rail and to get word to the firefighters. Joe madden what does this say about the regions readiness for mass casualty emergency . All your questions are big ones. That need to be answered immediately. What disturbs me theyre saying at metro, it might take a year for all this to be thrashed out. We cant wait a year. This is the nations capital. Were constantly having to be vigilant when it comes to terrorist attacks. Its just the psychology. Weve witnessed whats going on in paris and almost simultaneous to that when we heard this we didnt know what the situation was. We didnt know if it was an accident didnt know if it was a fire a terrorist attack. We cannot wait and every question that you have asked, pat, needs to be an serpd immediately. Bre man they what does it say after metro safety five years after that deadly crash that left nine people dead . What we see coming out is it sounds like metro doesnt really have a formulated plan if theres an accident like this, what do passengers do . One of the biggest issues is you had passengers coming off the train, walking on that third line talking about whether or not there should be selfevacuation. Reports are that metro had talked about this but nothing was put into place. I think its unfortunate that someone has passed away metro should feel fortunate that there werent more lives lost in that sipgs, especially when youre talking about trains filled up with smoke, its in the nations capital. We talked about a terrorist attack and the way folks can situations. I think anyone can really sort of understand people getting off of a train thats filled with smoke not knowing what has happened. Dave the lawsuits have already started. Absolutely. First of all, theres mutual condemnation from the congressional delegation into what happened. I talked to senator mechanical ski, congresswoman norton senator warner none of them want to wait for the evaluation. They want to know now. Theyre scheduling a debriefing within the next few days. They want metro to tell them the answers to all the questions you just raised. The concern is after all the money, the new equipment that happened after 2009 what have they done . The answer seems to be im picking up from sources and other people not enough. People still dont know what theyre supposed to do arent doing it right, whether its middle management the worker bees. I asked senator mechanical ski about that. She said im not making any accusations ability that i want to go to this debriefing. If she doesnt get good answers, there will be people in big trouble at metro. It doesnt bring anybodys life back. Christopher berry under investigation. The son of the late marion barry is being investigated for allegedly threatening bang employee. According to a Police Report barry become upset after a pnc bank teller told him he had overdrawn his account. There are reports that barry use add derogatory term threatened the teller and threw a chair and. How do you think this will impact his candidacy, bremante . Any candidate running against him will probably bring this up. It depends on how they bring it up in what way do they bring it up. I think what this does is it calls into question his readiness for the position. He just announced. You would think he would know to handle himself differently knowing that now he steps into this possible public position any time youre running, youre really stepping yourself into a public position. Any of the candidates out there obviously will call into question his readiness, his temperament, is he the right person now to succeed his father. Just absolute immaturity. Ive been upset with banks forof reasons, but you this is even if he wasnt running, pat, he is a public figure. Hes had national exposure. You just simply dont get upset because a bank teller says youre overdrawn and then destroy property that could very well be a felony. Hes just hes lucky that the bank decided not to in essence, press charges, or at least they havent yet. Its sad. It really is sad. I think if i were advising him, i think i would immediately apologize, im sorry, apologize to his potential constituency apologize to the bank and then see if he can put this behind him as fast as he can. Dave. This is not the way to start a campaign. The question now, as joe says and as you inferred what does he do next . Contrition . Im sorry, it was a bad day, whatever it is. But then move on and try to have a counter argument as to why, even though i did this bad thing, there are so many other things about me that you ought to think about. Hes got to put a positive note on this now or else some people are going to tell him to just get out of the race. I dont know how you do it. I really dont. The other problem is folks are going to he has a track record of issues and runins with the law. This may only look like a continuation and has that person really changed to step into this type of position. And even having a Bank Overdraft in todays political scene, knowledge of that is bad, really bad. Because it questions your 5b89 to handle finances. But then to get mad about it. Ill never be able to run for office. It happens. Overdrafts can happen. But my god, to throw a trash can, to break a security to basically throw tantrum. Do you think it speaks to his temperament . Oh i think so sure. I think it does. It would speak to anybody. This isnt just him. Anybody who would do that if a newscaster if one of us did that thats exactly what people would say. My goodness. Again he allegedly threatened the teller also. We cant leave that out, someone will be waiting for you outside. Theres a lot there to pick through. Got to take a break. Well be right back. You get sick you cant breathe through your nose suddenly, youre a mouth breather. A mouth breather well, put on a breathe right strip and shut your mouth. Cold medicines open your nose over time, but add a breathe right strip and pow, it opens your nose up to 38 more. So you can breathe and do the one thing you want to do sleep. Add breathe right to your Cold Medicine shut your mouth and sleep right. Breathe right. And look for the calming scent of new breathe right lavender in the sleep aisle. Welcome back.
