What we are learning is that the problem went beyond people trying to call 911 and police and fire out in the field and in the neighborhoods on saturday night into sunday morning temporarily deposit have any way to communicate with dispatch and that created a very dangerous situation for those First Responders out there in the field. And now Radio Communications from what were hearing seem like they came back quickly and computerized dispatch system of 911 and police and fire use to dispatch calls that was down for a while and again really tough for foam understand who was where and where people needed to go. We were able to confirm those sources of communication problems through radio transmissions we were obtain and when you listen to them you can certainly hear the confusion and frustration. The system is down. I understand. Were trying to get 27 back in service. You want us to stay out of service. Do it by land line larry. I cannot the phones are out too. I tried calling by phone.

About 300 to 350 calls on average that came in saturday night to surprised morning during that hour and time period. And we can only document 40 calls that came in through backup phone lines city officials are reaching out to people frying to find out if there was something make or that need add tense and 12 30 the woman was struck in head with the hammer and they showed us call logs where they tried to call 911 multiple times they can get First Responders out there and they were able to call back to dispatch some 45 minutes later.

What you just heard there wasre some of what was going o the scenes at the citys cit Emergency Response when the outage oemccncurred. Ore now this morning were learning more about the timeline of the e outage. 11 35 p. M. Saturday, 911 went 9n out four minutes later it wasatw discover the backup facility waw also down. Add night the public was madead aware of the outage. By 11 59 11 was restore. But there are still many many questions this morning as to whi this happened. This hap whats being done topene prevene from it happening again and wasn the city really in ddange wr dui the outage . Joining us now chris geld heart the director of d. C. Homeland security gury morning, chris. Good morning, steve. Steve chris, i ive kind of bumpedo i was of the understandingdi corrina was going to be joiningi you this morning. Is m was she not able to make thee t interview. Interview. Steve, were continuing to work on this weve got all h, ah on deck here at the facility fit making sure were doing thingsni we need to do to ensure thise t doesnt happen again. Again that is the key and i think thats the answer that a lot oft people in d. C d want to hear ass what will be done to make sure r that doesnt happen. Happe tak as far as what happened, we hadh heard and we had hea from d. C. Officials a contractor flipped a switch accidentally shuttingin down the entire system. System. How does that happen . So we have a large serverver room within the facility heree thats very secure area. We have injuries, building build engineers here some of those ara contracted engineers foreers for specialties Like Electronics and things like that, and at about 11 17 in the evening on saturday evening we through one of ourf normal checks our people here a the oec. Data center down there theyre found that there was an audibleb alarm going off. They notified the buildinguildin maintenance staff. Maintenance staff came in to that room and there was an alarm going off on a box next to the emergency power off, and through that process of going throughou that contractor for theor Facilities Maintenance went inte the wrong box to shut down thent alarm and shut down our s chris, youve worked in Emergency Services ever since se you got out of the your military service. Se doesnt it seem a little strange one switch would shut down anhun entire citys communication . . Well, you know its actuallyl designed to do that. Tt. Designed within that win that area to for the Fire Department if they need to comem n theres lot of electricityflet pumping into that room. So that, n box and then one botb ton on each wall is designed tog shut down the power to thater ta room. So that if they need to come in there don any Fire Fighting thaa theres not an issue with any o the firefighters getting electrt cuter. Its a necessary system,saryyste unfortunately, the person thatnt went in there to work on the alarm didnt dot right thing. Hi do we know who thatho that contractor is at this point . Pnt we do. And the contractor is no longere here on sight. Ig. Okay. A af youre saying thats necessary system for firefightet safety essentially, et cetera, why then is there no emergencymn link up to the backup that just ought matily triggersr sure. Steve, we have that in place. Pe but as we looked at our systemue and as the system was engineeree and were going back and going g through this our office of chiei technology is doing full review from an external on how our engineering is set up for the system, but as weve goneve g through the years as you knowno weve had Power Outages ines i southeast dc and weve had issues with ensuring we haveeav power to thinking facility wevy taken lot of redundancy intont account for that. Hat. That redundancy taken into takeo considerate for something that happens outside the wire lineide that. Room is a very secure room. Oo which was not one of the main mn concerns as we were looking at o that of how to do the fail safea and backup to it. As you know, if we lost power to this facility we still haveav several hours of just battery be let alone our generators that we have here to operate, so we have redundancy to redundancy on thaa and a switching mechanism to go to our backup site if thatfha happens. Something inside that room,hato, inside that wire line like thata ha that was engineered in. N we are engineering it in now ani were making sure its done appropriately. Ely. Which was the next question. I what do you learn from this nows to make sure that y theou nex cn just this base but any other potential problems down the road that may be you didnt for see e until this happened. Pened. Yeah, theres a full end to o end Systems Review going onng again as i said from our chief i Technology Officer here in the district. Dist the mayor is ensuring that we gg through this from one end to the other regardless of what wha happened here to ensure that all our redundancies are in place, a all working. G there are several we have in place that we know exercise some of them, some of them take downw the whole system when we do itet so its very difficult to t exercise them. He. Were working on ways to makeoae sure we test all of those andsea ensure everything is in place ie right now. Well be doing a full after aft action on this and not just thee actual supply to make sure weurw dont go down but develop del procedures and people do all tht right things and procedures alla wait through. It through. So this will be longer processrs but well go through and makeak sure that our in. In. You know, chris, as well as a anybody because you deal withl t Homeland Security on a regular basis. Basi you plan for the worse Case Scenario and when you look atoot Something Like this and nowli ts going back and looking at a everything again for potentialel problems down the road, thosed,o things do take time. Ime. What type of timeline do youe do look at now because a lot of o people worry, okay, this was a power outage. O what its a an earthquake and a terror attack and you have tooue act immediately . Sure. Ur i would say this. A td error attack, an earthquake those kind of things thosehose redundances are in place. Pce those have been testified much its been been done over and over the consequence is the outt power outage we would have. H were looking at this and sayinn what are the oh the things we we need to do and quite honestly is read the report this morning. Ori folks are working this 24 7 most of the predawn dan cease we dane believe we needed from an wee need from internal perspectiveei have already been started to beb worked on and some of them co i would say well do a fulll review of all the processes ands procedures but most of our technical fixes and things likek that were talking days, not dan weeks or months. On ll all right. A well thats good news as far asf the timeline. Lets talk manpower right now. We had heard various things thi about the backup facility. Acilit would that be staffed all thell time . Is there a way to make ao sure that you can get m there ia quicker amount of time . Whats the plan right now . Would youoy use cell phones to have accesscs or forward calls for folks onolo that are way to the backupackup facility . Whats the plan to make sures the primary and backup facilityt work seamlessly . . Until we have everything inth place all the redundances andncs theyve been testified welledel operate out of both facilities. S both facilities are receivingeci calls. Both facilities can be 100 or 50 50 or any percentage theree in. In. Well continue to operate out of our backup facweillityl antndn facility until were completelyl sure that our processes 100 1 effective end to end. End. Chris, before we let you gort you heard some of the radio theo traffic as we led into interview. We had heard various ttehings f the city now about police radios, firefighter radios, rado First Responders radios beingng down as well. Down we know from the police and fire people we talk to you heard frou the recordings we just played, a it may not have been foryed, the hour and a half but radioad service was down as well. Wel how do you explain that being b tied into this other outage . So again, the server room thats down there has a lot of systems a lot of major systems e for the city for Emergency Response. There was a system issue in the radios because of the power per outage. Ge that doesnt mean the radios dio not work. T w radios still worked. Worke officers could still talk to tak officers on the street. Firemen could till talk toal t firemen out there on the streetu we did havee an issue with w talking from this facility to the field for about 12 minutes,s but that was fixed very rapidly. But, again, we didnt lose radio coverage out in the field. We just lost we had an abouto 12 minutes falcade radio cover o from here to all the units inheu we have nerd some officers they were not able tod s communicate but that was on an individual basis perhaps thatss another investigation down the road. Ro. But as far as that tie in between the radios and bigger system, is that also one of thet things now thats part of this i new plan of looking at the entire process when it comes to communication . . Yeah, its really an end to t end look, and it goes beyond bon just radios and our our Computer Aided Dispatch systemye and our ability to take in 911 9 calls here. He it goes literally intoly into everything that may touch thishi process to ensure that we dont have issues with any of our o systems from a public safetyy perspective and we have thee the redundancy we need not just atta this facility but facilitiesilie across the district. Distr just to recap until you get this new assurance in place,n both the primary and backup system will run simultaneously,l correct. Yes, sir. Were going to make sure we s w provide 911 service to the cityc and that everybody can trust itt and doing that well keep bothee of the facilities open untilntil were sure that we can come bacc to just one. To just all right. One ish you a best of luck therehe well keep on top of it on our end. We appreciate you joining us us this morning, chris, good tooo t talk to you. Talko y you too, steve, thank you. 7 40 right now. Thank goodness no one losto l their lives. Th its dangerous situation. Tion but in this case it was just th mr.

Fra shes always talking about theut hottest stories that arehare trending right now. N first up, managing a teens social media use. Use break it down. Eak i down. Whats happening . Atsappe hi, you guys. H hi. I want to be your girlfriendi forever. Forever and ever. I like that. I l im your girlfriend. D of course. This story at of a c texas coach there cliff kings bury waw on recent podcast admitting thaa he and some of the other Coaching Staff will set up fake accounts and catfish some of tht players. Pl this is football players. Ayts this is football players. So this interview is getting atn lot of attention because is this right or is this wrong to do . Um, and of course, you know a kw lot of people think its reallyy awful that youre is heis societying these players up with fake accounts because, allse right, lets say they are doingd something wrong ng right. R okay, fine, maybe they learnf that lesson, but doesine, t mhaa them to go out in the world andd keep this kind of fake accountet thing going on . Going so i wanted to know what your thoughts are on this. I feel like i was sharingi with you before that my daughters are student athlete my oldest, and the coach makes nocs bones about it. T im always im sliding intont your dms im always there but i am who i say i am. A i think when youre a teenager youre emotionally on rollerolle coaster, and to set yourself up as someone who youre not ooh i feel like is just playing mindnn games that are not necessary. Esa i mean, yeah. Y what do you think . I think i dont understand what to gain from this really because ie think that monitoring is oneg thing and if somebody is doingog anything inn appropriate thentee you have that conversation withh them. But to just kind of set them upp and see who takes the bates bat seems a little like extra efforf thats not really need there. But lie say think of. Nk o cliff kinks bury was former forr player at that school he wasools quarterback so maybe he knowsow things as to what happens theret that we dont know, and, therefore is like, okay, well, want to put a stop to this. S his whole argument theyret e essentially trying to preventnt another matteo situation. Iton he was cat fished for a longon time. Are they doing that for the a good of the player or the good of the team . Good of the phe tea right. I dont think the monte tao t hurt the team in any wage it wa hurt him. Him theyre doing this to protece texas tech. Texa they dont want these players p anything inn appropriate soppror theyll try and catfish them tom catch them doing it first and a then punish them. Them youre a football coach. Focus on football. Tbl make that team be the best team on the field. Im against it. I think its transparent see ifs we find that youre doing this,i if its inn appropriate,priate whatever, then youre going to be suspended or cut and maybe theyre just telling tg them theyre going to do it andd dont and not follow up on it. Im on the fence about this one. I think, youre young, 19, 20 obviously getting a lot of o attention. Ntion so by them sort of testing these guys before somebody else does doe but thats ha they do text a picture. Pre thats what i was going tongo say, though. T are we under any sort off illusion when these high schoolo seniors going to these collegesl that theyre just shown where w the library is or other thingsng that go on . Dont take the higg and mighty is i mean mn dont put the dont give a playbook and tell them now well change the plays. Pys tell them what they canthey c cannot do. Cann somebody could care aboutut somebody thats what catfish is all about. S what call a ut. Its kind of scary. Do we have another comment. H.

Tre at halloween to have little tinn cupcakes with the, you know, whatever. What difference does it make . Ri in moderation i agree with thatt thats the key.

Thi imagine having one more week of relaxation thats a proposal byb Maryland Governor larry hogan. Holly joins us with thoseit details starting next year. Ext a i guess it will start year but im going to call thiss going old school. Ld sool. Yeah. Thats really what i think this proposal is. Right . An extra week would meaa classes in maryland would then n start after labor day. What an idea. Dea. Governor hogan alongside controller peter, are expectedxd to official roll pose the idealt tomorrow afternoon in ocean city by the way. While school superintendentstens oppose the idea he says extending the summer by those few days another week will w increase family time and perhaps more importantly boost the local economy. Om. We cant find anybody whosedo opposed to starting school after labor day. Ft day everybody wants it. It. And why not its a common sensee idea. It doesnt cost the state a a penny. No new taxes. Axes it extends summer. Summer. It increases the tourist seasons which means we have more tax revenue for schools and roads. O. Teachers love it. Families love it, kids love it. Everybody loves it except for ar couple of people that are are hoarding it up. Now, this lot of conversation on our facee bock page. We have nearly 300 commentss already. Ad and overwhelmingly most peopletl seem to be in favor of the ideaa you can see toy ya says letays those kids have that holiday and stop taking everything. Ryth they already get out of schooloo late enough during the school so year. Ye. Rachel says after labor day it ruined getting discounted vacation rates and now ourowur family is unable to afford a nice yearly vacation because she wants it to be after aft labor day because later in thece summer the prices of vacation houses go down and the hotelsotl and alike but susan says as lonn as summer break is still only 10 weeks im okay with it. H but im looking forward toorrd t paying less for child care nowaw that school has started. Started now ive gone through a lot of the different reactions, and and again, overwhelmin overwhelmingr labor da. Olaboay one person did make the point they were like, nextoi week alexandria, fairfax theyre alla going back laughter labor dayhtl and that they have less time to prepare for the standardized tests which happen nationwidetin the same date if you go back bac cramming more for those tests ii you go back earlier they have a little mr. Time to pre pair forf them. That was one persons argument. N i believe the definition of f craminming is last minute. Well, one less week, steve. E i get the idea. I mean, i, arc lost people said this and this is where i i stan. Stan im for after labor day as long as it doesnt mean they get outt later. I thinkla they get out late en enough. Im for less half days, teacherh work days i know they need somem teacher work days it seem likeme theres enormous amount of daysy off within the school year y already and i think we couldhinu have less of those and keep thee school year between labor day d and essentially memorial day or one weekend of june. Thats how i did it. I im for. Or. Theyre always going to be be somebody against. Gainst. Lets check in with fox5 fox resident lifeguard us wisdomm martin for some words of wisdomo here.

Oic whats next for Colin Kaepernick after his refusal to stand fortf the anthem. Will he face anye a punishment m his team . Hey, al. How you doing today . Good. Im just being mean to my good friend allison seymour. Ice look at the capitol domeho chewing a bagel trying to bee a weiss guy. Im ready. Dy. Its a stance obviously a oy lot of people talking. Alking. We talked about this all day yesterday. Yesterday. Folks still talking about lynnyn kaepernick and his addition ait decision to sit during theiturin National Anthem. It added to the controversy surrounding whether stay on thet team. Am. Wisdom is back with us now onn more how he could be let go butb really not over his politicalal protest. T we touched on this little bit yesterday how Colin Kaepernick. C hes had two off season surgeryy hasnt played that much in theyc preseason so this could be an be issue on the field for Colin Kaepernick. Ka Colin Kaepernick created a foyey storm by saying he will take a a stand by not standing did thedit National Anthem because of theef countrys treatment of minorit minorities. The white house is weighing in on thisi and theyre saying his spangled banner is objectionable but they say its right to demonstrate. Trat fox sports analyst jay, j indicates 49ers may cut quarterback cole lip kaepernickk f that happens glazer says itr wont have anything to do withth the enact kaepernick refuses tot stand during the National Anthem but for football related reaso reasons. The sources say he isnt playini well. Well we can see hes not paying welln and hes had several injuries as well back into the last season. A now another player did say thata he wanted to join the 49ers quarterback and not stand durind the National Anthem werewer talking about my did he varroaso a physical eagle a rookie. Ookie. He quickly changed his mind anda even apologized for becoming aog distract to the eagles. Les. Now, again he initially said hee was going to do this. O do ts. Rookie he was struggling trying to make the team. Ea he had nothing to lose bute but apparently he changed his name. Kaepernick has been struggling. G so it will be interesting to seo if h has a huge salary although we w know the nfl is full of badad quarterbacks and theres alwayss a need for quarterback. Ck he does have a huge salary which can mean 49ers won want to cutoc him because he makes all thisllt morning. I mean the salary 100 somethingi million dollars. Lars he has a huge salary they may keep him on the bench you have y the argument of youre not going to pay some guy a whole bunch oo money to sit on the bench. Benc. They also benched him lasteds year. You had the benching numerous injuries. Inri tried to trade him couldnt get anybody. He probably couldnt pass a physical because all the t surgeries. Rgies. Theres a lot its going here onh the field as well as off field. E hell have a tough time withith fans when he goes to another tnh places as well because heuse h already wasnt very well liked. D thats true. T t hes football player. Footb pla you go to the getye used to tha. Part of the territory. You have to have thick skipac for that. Fo weve only seen the beginning of this.

Noen. He was the nsa employee who lekytholeakthousands of classifd documents. Me hes now russia. Ussia i believe he as asylum until 2017. 20 now, Joseph Gordon levitt playsa oliver stone film maker takingg on jfk and nixon takes on thiss project. Prt. I spoke to levitt not only about becoming him but also he met m with him multiple times, onee time for four hours, and also what how you get to snowden. How do you even legally getet there . I dont even now knowno how that work. Wk. First, talk about the voice that was the one of things josephosh Gordan Levitt did so brilliant brilliantly. He became him. Brilou close your eyes you wou d think youre watching edwarddwd snowden. Watch this. Thi i think voice is absolutely incredible. Asked abouted about that b you listened to audience of his voice. Ce. The director depth pee of the nsa offered me a new position. Ot can you tell me anythinge ang about it . About you know i cant. Y im wondering were thereerre certain things that you latchedl on to about it, certain wordsins that helped you get into it anda did you stay in it duringt durin production even when the camera cut . Good question. Um, i dont think i stayed stayd totally in it, but i dont knoww if i came totally out of it either. Eier i didnt necessarily think about it that watches because itsi a physical thing, so, um, you just kind of get in habit i guess. S. Were there particular things . Dont know. N know. I dont know if i analyzed itt that specifically as much asuchs just listened to it a lot andnd then kind of repeated it. T i dont want to sound ignorer rap how the legality of thisf t works when you go to meet withth someone like snowden, obviouslyy i know you spent four hours with him and limb and lindsay were there. Er. How does it work . Do you know u where youre going . Does oliver stone go with. With. What was the process like l getting to him . Im yeah, i didnt know where i i was going. But we met up with mr. Kutch rer in a whos his lawyer in russia. And he a ranged to drive us to,s you know, an office. E know where youre going. No, no. O okay. N just again it wasnt where Edward Snowden lives. We just met at an office. Wow. Yeah. So i mean it wasnt honestly that, thats correct crazy as far as the logistics. It wasnt a Christopher Nolan script being delivered to you. Ou what are some of his interests . Has he senior movies . Does he e know about your career . Does he like tv shows . What did he sayy to you in regards to that. Ohat. Did you even speak on that . H . Yeah, yeah. Yea the first thing he asked me actually was, maybe you canbe yc settle a dispute that lindsayins and i are having. Is it hit record or hit record. R he actually asked me that. Oh, man, im you asked mee that. Its both. It a play on words. But i was he does hisis research. Hes the kind of guy i thinknk that reads lot. Ds l did he ask about the ending of inception. The thing he did in the ask. Tsk thats good question. Uest i wonder if hes seen that. Tha i dont think he wahe of fiction movies. Ovies. Im still wondering to thishs day if the thing is still spinning in inception. If you havent seen inceptioncen its one of the most one ofnf the most mind blowing endings ei ever. Is it a dream or not a dream. Dm if you havent seen inceptioneet hes running in the hallways. Ay hes such a good actor for mowow growing up angels in the outfield.
