Call the Verizon Center for customers with disabilities at 800. 974. 6006 tty v sunscreen is essential to guard your skin against sunburn, skin damage and skin cancer. Most dermatologists tell you the guard against Sun Protection of 30 or higher. And now reporter ri ka gone Erika Gonzalez is here. Yes, and recently Consumer Reports tested a wide variety to see which ones protect you to the best and others not so much. Reporter when you choose a sunscreen, most people check the spf which is to indicate the amount of protection that you get from the suns uvb rays which cause the sun burn and inkrees increase the risk of skin cancer. Consumer reports the tested 30 sunscreens to see if they delivered. They applied them to the panelists backs and had them soak for 30 or more minutes, and then the area is exposed to uvb light. The next day the aer yarea is examined for redness, and the tests revealed a cause for concern. Onethird of the sunscreens had below what they promised.

That is coming on later tonight on news4 at 5 00. But it is shock inging that less than half of the spf. And yes, with the kids you slather it on as much as you can, and they go right into the water, and so it is testing how much of it stays on once the testers were in the water for 40 60 or 80 minutes. And the cheap serer is the better . And it is not a bad option, because you dont have to spend 50 when the 9 can do the job. And now a womans search for answers, when she got an alarming text message from her huz hband and nouw the airlines refusal to help her cost him his life.

He asked for her forgiveness for what he was about to do. I started shaking the minute i got the text, and i was panicked, because i didnt know what to do. Karen was sitting on the run way in new orleans as her southwest flight was about to take the off and she was preparing for a girls trip away to the big easy, and she was going to turn back, and karen said that she knew he was easy because he was under stress.

Reporter she spent the twohour flight crying but when she got to the gate she called officers but when they got to the home it was too late. They got to their knees and put the hats over their heart, and gave me the i get to inform you that your husband has died. The airline offered us this statement saying that their hearts go out to the evers family during this difficult time. They go on the say that flight attendants are trained to notify the captain if there is an emergency that poses a hazard to the aircraft or the passengers on board. In this situation, the pilots were not notified. Haunting word ss, karen believes could have changed the outcome for a man who needed help. The pain of knowing that something could have been done breaks my heart. They d displayed extraordinary courage beyond the call of duty. Today, they were honored for that. The department of Homeland Security presented the annual valor awards. At the headquarters in northwest, and they went to ten dhs employees and two Law Enforcement officers, and among them a sergeant with the secret service. While driving to work last november he saw an accident on the bw parkway, and when the car caught on fire he pulled the driver out.

Showers and storms around 2 00, a and they will be scattered around the area, and not covering the way it is looking right now. This sis the model that sometimes fills things in a little much, but by 6 00, with scattered storms throughout the area, the same thing, the chances are headed upward and it is a 30 to 40 chance there, and for sunday it takes a dip then for sunday evening, and as we head through monday morning, because of the higher humidity, anything that we get will lead to the downpours this weekend, and that is is a look at the sunday and the upcoming forecast 86 with the higher humidity and 88 sunday and we will take a look at the sevenday forecast in a few. Thank you, veronica. Right now in tysons corner, the athletes are on the field that is the first to open in years. It is transforming the the tyson plant adopted in 2010.

Jewelry thieves who spy on Fairfax County residents so they know when to strike. Bureau chief julie carey reveals the tips. Reporter one burglar got away with 8,000 in jewelry, but police say he is not an ordinary thief, he is tied to a crime family in chicago. The man faces charges of burglary and grand larceny and tied to four daytime breakins, and the detectives well one of the reston homes was a target of the burglar and he got away with 8,000 in jewelry, but the detectives discovered he was not an ordinary thief. He is tied to an organized crime family in chicago. Jan parshefski is tied to at least four breaks in and he is tied to a rental car, and then they discovered that he has links to a crime family in chicago. Coming up on news4news4 at 5 00, we will look at the careful detective work that led to the arrest. And investigators still dont know what caused the deadly derailment in philadelphia.

And also ahead at 5 00, we are going back to the scene of a house fire in upscale home in the revelations of how fast that derailed amtrak train was going are raising safety questions about train workers. As we have a report of a train engineer reporting of engineer exhaustion in the weeks before the crash. They make us work 15 and 16 hours. Reporter fritz has driven the trains hundreds of times on the curve that was the site of the crash. He wrote a letter to the amtrak saying that amtrak has been enforcing Shorter Breaks in between the runs and increasing the fatiguerelated risk with the potential for the loss of focus focus. You need a break, and you need a chance to get off of the equipment. And now the problem is that a lot of times, that break time never materializes. Reporter amtrak did not respond to the iteam questions about the the engineer schedules, and ntsb did not release question ss about the scheduled work of Brandon Bostian before he crashed the passenger train going twice the speed, and they were question eded about the positive train control which could have slowed it down. 3 4 of the section have the technology but not north philadelphia.
