Southwest airlines was a slowmoving maze of one weary passenger after another with a story to tell about the lightening strike that took dead aim at their travel adinner gary eight dinner area. We were supposed to go miami and our cruise got canceled. Aim engine imagine juggling this by yourself and a 5monthold baby. The f. A. A. Suspended all arrivals and departures at b. W. I. After the control tower was struck by lightening at 2 20. One employee was injured. Flights resumed at 5 00 p. M. But by then the damage was done. Really im still in limbo right now. Hoping to get to chicago but not knowing if were going to make it. Not knowing if im going to make it. Since several northeast airports including boston new york and philadelphia were affected the airlines could be playing catch up for a while. I do expect this evening to be continued flight delays. I would expect tomorrow their operation should be more or less normal. 100 and 20 flights were canceled here at b. W. I. You can expect a come to that affect to continue into the morning as for that injured f. A. A. Employee he was set to retire in two years. He is now recovering at home. Brian. Audrey barnes tonight. Its rough here. Check out colorado. Flood waters have overrun parts of the state so far three people have been killed. This scene took place in lafayette where ref rescuers had to free a man who was trapped in his car. D. C. Police say man was shot during a carjacking in the 1500block of john quill street. The victim is conscious and breathing developing tonight a massive fire continues to consume a new jersey boardwalk. The blaze started at a ice cream shop in sea size heights. Strong winds helped it spread quickly. This same board was boardwalk was destroyed during hurricane sandy. Now a growing protest over the name of the washington redskins. Its the name redskins coming under intense fire tonight again from native american groups to sports journalists. Fox 5 bob barnard is here with the latest. Brian, theres a line in the stand drawn by the team apps owner dan snyder refusing to budge over the redskins nickname at a time when the n. F. L. Commissioner is standing flexible and others saying no more. A recent station nationwide poll found an overwhelming majority i think washington apps pro football should remain the redskins thats what we found on the street tonight. It doesnt bother me. Leave it the way it is. I think so. I dont see a problem with the name and i dont think it should be changed. But there are a growing number of people who think its time for the redskins to go. Just because if it offends someone that much especially the people who were originally in this country then we should respect that i think. The latest to call out the redskins some of the country apps most prominent sports columnists peter king of Sports Illustrated and Christine Brennan of u. S. A. Today both saying they will never again call them redskins. Brennan telling her readers this is a personal decision. Its the right thing to do. If thats not reason enough try explaining and defending the nickname to a child. Its impossible. And bill simmons of espn. Com refers to the redskins as the washington, d. C. , apps. I know that you know the team name is part of their history and tradition and thats something thats important to the redskins fans. N. F. L. Commissioner Roger Goodell was asked about it wednesday. If one person so fended we have to listen and ultimately it is dan apps decision. The Team Owner Dan Snyder said he would never change the name never. We feel strongly mr. Snyder is out of touch with what respect is about. This person is with the organization shin organization that represents native americans. He represents an arrogance about current American Society and an ignorance about the history of racism thats exemplified in the rword. The rword is how mr. Morton calls the redskins. Now to a fox 5 paramedic has been off the streets now for a week sitting in office doing basically nothing. Jon botwin has not been questioned or told what jarj charges he might be facing. This is nothing short of retaliation. Paul wagoner has that. When jon botwin sat down write the city council and tell the members about his efforts to save a little girl he did not include any identifying motion but d. C. Fire said the privacy officer had concerns hipaa rules had been violated and botwin was ordered off his engine and told to report head equal headquarters. Art spitzer has read the letter to the council and sees no violation at all. All he said was that a 5monthold baby had died. I cant see how that could possibly violet patient privacy. In his letter to the fire chief art spitzer wonders why the investigation has gone on this long. This is a classic case in the d. C. Fire department. Ive been litigating since 1980 and ive seen this kind of thing repeatedly where the fire chief wants to let people know who the boss is around here. As weve reported botwin apps late letter pointed out less than half the paramedic positions were staffed including the two units stationed closest to the girl apps apartment. Botwin told the Council Citizens are in danger the remaining paramedics are burning out and its only getting worse. He spoke out on the 10 00 news last friday. If you call 911 and you want and need an a. L. S. Provider, the question is do you want it coming from over here which is farther away or the one that is supposed to be there and the people knew how many times that the city is left with less than half the amount of paramedics and i say less than half the amount of paramedics that were supposed to have even though that number doesnt come close to similar cities of similar size have its ridiculous. Peoples lives are hurting every single day. You just dont hear about it or it its just note your family yet. Jon botwin is not the first firefighter to be taken off the street for speaking out. Robert alvarado was demoted and Union President ed smith was transferred after he was critical of the chief. We reached out to the Fire Department to see if they wanted to respond and they sent us back the department has received a letter of inquiry regarding the detail of jon botwin. The department will not provide comment orie respond to any inquiries until the investigation is complete. In the fox 5 newsroom im paul wagoner. Now a story you heard first on fox 5. D. C.
