There are many more questions and incomplete answers after that incident that left one woman dead and sent more than 80 others to the hospital.

Reporter well there were 13 members of congress involved in a meeting with the ntsb today to talk about this and also members of the metro board there and when the members of congress in virginia and maryland and d. C. Came out they seem to have one theme that is some of the things that went wrong on january 1 should have and could have already been fixed. Chief among them is the ventilation system which ntsb chairman Christopher Hart says had an anomaly in the tunnel ventilation shaft when the third rail sparked sending smoke into the train as hundreds of passengers gasp for air. We have tested the ventilation system and noted anomalies that will require further testing. That ventilation system and trouble with communications are now a big part of the investigation. The only two reassuring things that came out of the meeting was that the interoperability between the District Of Columbia and the metro First Responders is now looking and second, a ventilation system that brought actually smoke into the car is now being reversed. One piece of new information, the d. C. Fire department recently encryptedded its communication system, but that info was never related to metro so during this incident firefighters couldnt communicate with Metro Control right away. That should be an immediate red flag in terms of making sure that inneroperability is maintained. Weve invested literally hundreds of millions of doand if they dont talk to each other in a moment of crisis they dont do much good. The 13 who met behind closed doors will continue to press for trouble spots that need to be fixed to be handled now and not wait until the final ntsb report comes out so there are no more incidents like the one that killed carol glover on january 12. There is a list says hart, but he would not detail it. Now it could take the ntsb over a year to come up with its final report. Both these members of congress say things should be done long before that and get some of these things fixed right away. With you is is a 9 news.
