Bruce . Reporter yes, we just received the name of the one woman killed from the chief medical examiner. She is carol glover, 61 years old from alexandria, a local analyst with a communications company. We have received no updates today either from the ntsb or metro, even know virginia senator mark warner and many others are calling for some answers now. People were just getting out of hand and panicking. The next thing you know you could not see from one end to the other on the train. Reporter investigato rs already have some answers. I have never seen anything like that in my whole life. Reporter they suspect the smoke that filled the tunnel and platform killing one and sickening others started with a short in the cables that feed the 750 volunteer third rail. A volt third rail. A female passed out here. Reporter it is the kind of ark seen by anyone that has ridden metro, but this one somehow got more intense. In certain cases the ark can start sort of feeding on itself and it actually generates gas that is are more conductive and it is kind of the worse it gets, the worse it gets. This was a failure reporter a former ntsb chair and current cbs news consultant said metro not only failed to quickly diagnose the problem and figure out how to respond, but failed to get people out before they were overcome. How are you going to handle this evacuation with so much, not just gas, coming not only into the tunnel but seep into the train cars themselves. Reporter metro improved safety they say after the 2009 crash that killed nine people and injured 70, but there is something wrong that needed to be fixed and we just didnt realize it. Reporter now, lots of Big Questions remain. Why was the train operator unable to move the train back into the station and unload those passengers . Why did it take 40 minutes or longer to get some of those passengers out. So long that according to the ntsb some of them evacuated themselves up through an air shaft here. And, what happened with the power . And did firefighters once again have trouble with the radios, being able to use them, down in the tunnel . Metro, ntsb promises answers and promises fixes, too. Eric and leslie, back to you. A statement has been released to metro riders. Here is part of it.

Deborah is live at the plaza with the story of one mans action. Reporter a man gave up air, air that he hardly had, to help another person to breathe. That woman he didnt even know her. She was like i cant do it. I cant do it. I need help. Reporter it is tough to talk about the woman Johnson Rogers of d. C. Said he helped give cpr to inside this metro car tuesday afternoon. She passed out. It was obvious. People were taking her pulse. She said i dont feel anything. Reporter this is video rogers took right when smoke started pouring in. He said soon after many people had trouble breathing, but this woman, the one you can hardly see through the smoke, holding a water bottle, caught on video, is the one he cant stop thinking about. A few of us were rotating, doing compressions and mouthto mouth. We did it for 20 minutes. It wouldnt doing anything. Reporter he said a man carried the lifeless woman out and he never saw her again. As we now know, the train was evacuated after about 40 minutes. His video, pictures and story revealed to the world on twitter. Today mayor Muriel Bowser thanked rogers for his courage and strength. I was hoping she could tell me something about the woman i assume is the one fatality. I really appreciated it. Reporter rogers said when he got home he hugged his wife a little tighter and petted his bulldog a little bit more, thankful for coming home, knowing one rider didnt. I hope that ladys family is doing okay, because i wish we could have done more for her, but reporter now, rogers said the mere act of snapping the pictures and rolling the the video helped him to calm down. He was hoping he could get on the other side and show people the video. He did say that ntsb has not contacted him yet as part of the investigation. Live here at will enfanity plaza, wusa9 news now. Thank you, deborah. Now we have more live from northeast d. C. With what andrea was told. Reporter 18 passengers were brought here to medstar and two remain tonight. One is in serious condition, the other in fair condition. The metro passengers entered the hospital with soot on their faces and fear in their hearts. Doctors quickly checked them for signs of respiratory distress. They all got an examination of their voicebox in the back of their throat to see if there was evidence of inflammation. Reporter this is dr. Jeffrey shook, one of 20 physicians at medstar hospital, catapulted into action. He said patients were shaken up but stoic, only one clearly struggling to breathe. If they cant get oxygen, you need to provide them with a breathing tube so they can breathe. Reporter no burns here. Just smoke inhalation and the long term prognosis is good. Most patient will be fine. They will probably have symptoms of cuff and upper respiratory chest tightness, but that will leave them in 7 to 14 days. Reporter medstar has practiced for mass casualty incidents like this and hospital officials are very pleased with how things went yesterday. They believe those drills paid off. By the way, we are still awaiting an update from Howard University hospital and g. W. We will bring that as soon as it becomes available.

President obama holds the first meeting with congressional leaders here at the white house and places technology has improved our lives, in small ways. In big ways. But what about this . Couldnt this be better too . At redfin we asked ourselves the same question. Which led us to create new ways to take you inside a home or instantly schedule a tour. But we paired that with our own agents who arent paid on commission but on your happiness. And thats what makes it all work the world has changed and now real estate has too. Welcome back. The d. C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is speaking out on the metro station tragedy. Bruce has more. Reporter yes. We have a lot of new information. How long did passengers say they were waiting for help in the tunnel. The Fire Department says the first dispatch said nothing about people being on board the train in the smokefilled tunnel. It only talked about smoke in the tunnel. Metro passengers tell us they need to know what to do in case of a emergency. I just want to know how we can have a faster, more effective escape plan. Reporter the Fire Department source says that smokefilled cars with passengers was only about 500 seats from the station. At 500 feet from the station. But the same source is telling colleagues the original dispatch said nothing about passengers still on the train. The officers could not say honoring it took before they learned how long it took before they learned people were on board and in the smoke filled tunnel. Enter fire chief eugene jones a short time ago. Are you saying there were no people on board the trains in the tunnel. I have not heard that. They were told there was only smoke if the tunnel. I did not hear that. You did not hear that . And now reporter mayor Muriel Bowser. No one should live in fear that they wont make it to work or school. Reporter now the university of Maryland Department of Fire Protection and engineering is talking about the tragedy. We talked about the size of the event. It was a relatively small fire. You would hope that small fires should not cause any injuries and a fatality, so looking at ways to get rid of the smoke more quickly would be e things we would talk about in the class here. Reporter now, back to mayor Muriel Bowser. She assigned is city administrator who is fairly new on the job to work with the ntsb on this investigation. She expect as full report from the citys Fire Department by the end of the week, by friday. Back to you guys. Bruce johnson, live. We will wait for that report. In the meantime, so many people have come forward since yesterdays incident telling their stories. Yes. Justin arena was on the yellow line train and said that calm eventually turned to panic. We called 911 and said listen, we need to get out of this train. It is filling one smoke and we wont be able to breathe in here. So, of course, the metro folks wanted us to stay on the train and not open the doors, but the 911 folks were not terribly helpful either. When it all came down to it, what to do. Central control at metro had no idea what to do. They should have maybe moved the trains into other tracks to get them through the platforms. It is like they didnt care that there was a train full of people filling with smoke. Justen says once firefighters got on the scene they did act quick lynn and led people from the train did act quickly and led people from the train down a tunnel and into safety. President obama is threatening to veto something making for a difficult dynamic but the new reality as the g. O. P. Gets to work. Reporter sitting between the Republican Leaders of the house and senate, president obama says he can work with them finding Common Ground on urgent issue, including cyber security. We can work hard together, get legislation done and make sure that we are much more effective in protecting the American People from these kinds of cyber attacks. Reporter the president is proposing a bill to protect consumer data, along with additional tools for Law Enforcement to go after hackers. The recent events certainly underscore the need again to tackle cyber security. Reporter the legislation already is moving through the new Republicancontrolled Congress and is at odds with the white house agenda. We are voting to block the president s overreach, his executive overreach, which i believe is beyond his constitutional duty and, frankly, violates the constitution itself. Reporter the house is vowing to reserve president obamas action on immigration and also has bills rolling back wall street reforms and Health Care Law requirements. This legislation we are considering is a jobs bill. Reporter the senate is working on approving the keystone excel pipeline, despite a veto threat. It raises a question in my mind in determining which fees of legislation advancing their way to the process process. Reporter greg boswell, the white house. Crews believe they located the fuselage and that half the bodies who died in the crash could be in the fuselage. The cockpit recorder has been recovered, too and all the conversations between the pilot and copilot should be on the recorder.

Child care workers found evidence of the sexual abuse but nothing was done about it and the children ended up pleading guilty to 2nd degree murder charges. I was happy to be away.

Only one team responded to the letter and no, it was not the redskins. It was the panthers, but we asked our facebook fan, how would you respond to this boy about why he should or should not be a redskins fan. John says as a former recovering redskins addict i suggest he root for the redskins if he enjoys drama and perennial disappointment. And marianne says she could not give him any reason to support the team so there is no reason to write to him. Obviously a lot of rivalry, but there is always support for the rifles. Look at this one from michael. 20 years ago i could have a given a thousand reasons why he should become a skins fan. Now i cant think of any without sounding like i am defending them. It looks like it was hard for redskins fans to come up with a good reason for this boy, but if you have one, we want to know, so please post them on our wusa facebook page.

As we can see from yesterdays footage at the Lenfant Metro station, smoke needs to be cleared out quickly to avoid injuries and even death. Turns out it is the leading cause of injuries in fires. It can be deadly once you breathe it in. Reporter nearly 70 of fire deaths result from smoke inhalation. Dr. Tom clark of alexandria hospital say there is are several different way that is products of smoke and combustion can harm you. First it is the direct thermal affect of the hot gases. When they are inhaled into the upper air way, nose, mouth and throat, then down to the lower air packages can cause a thermal burn which can cause swelling. Reporter next the irritating affect of the heated particles and gases in the throat can cause damage to the lungs and upper airways. Some of the gases are odorless and colorless and cause wheezing and spasms and difficult breathing. Reporter so, how can you increase your chances of survival in a smoky situation . First of all, dont panic. When you move, try to stay low to the ground. The hot toxey chemicals will hot, toxic cam cals rise toxic chemicals will rise. Turns out breathing through a damp clothe with decrease the temperature of the air that goes in and that can make a big difference when the situation heats up. Just having a damp cloth there will first require evaporation of that water. And that will help reduce the temperature of the inspired air. Reporter it may seem like a pair nowed move until you paranoid move until you need it. As well, cloth with filter out the toxins you could be breathing in. Well, speaking of smoke yes. New years resolutions include smokers wanting to quit. Apparently the rate your body breaks down nicotine can help determine if it is best for you to use a patch or drug to stop your cravings. Smokers crave cigarettes when the nicotine levels in your body drop. If you normally metabolize nicotine, then you have a better shot at using the drug chantix instead of the patch, but if you metabolize things faster, you may have better luck with the nicotine patch. January 1st people say i will quit smoking but one year out only 6 to of patients are successful. It 8 of patients are successful. It shows you how addicting nicotine can be. Nearly 70 of smokers who tried to quit failed within their first week. All right. Well, why in the world would anybody spent 5 million for a penny and quarter . Well, Beverly Hills businessman Kenneth Lipton just made the largest purchase for a penny ever. He paid 2. 5 million for a penny minted back in 1792. It is so old that lady liberty is on the front instead of abraham lincoln. Yes. I he also bought a quarter for 2. 4 million. He feels he got them at a bargain. These are incredibly historically important things as well as beautifully artistic things. When you come across the greatest and best of anything, they command huge trophy prices. He concedes he is a little nervous about spending so much for two coins but he is confident they will increase in value and he says i got them from the top coin person. I know he doesnt have anymore. He doesnt just give those away. No that is a lot of money for a coin. Yes, it is. I am tempted to say here we go again. Well, not as bad. The timing is bad, the morning rush hour, so that isnt good, but will it be a little less snow. Remember, it doesnt take much to shut the city down. January of 2000 , 4 10ths of an inch and the city shut down well, the temperatures are in the 20s. The humidity is low and the dew point is low. Pressure is high at 30. 56, falling a bit. Here is radar. We are watching this. We will be watching this all night. You can see that by and large the heaviest activity and most of it is across eastern North Carolina headed out to sea, but there is also a little prosecution in roanoke and southern sections of West Virginia kind of clipping us tomorrow and giving us a little bit of light snow. The yellow alert wednesday for light snow. Critical hours are 4 00 a. M. To noon. Hasnt changed on that. The heaviest, only talking about an inch or two, will be east of i9 and south of route 50 i95 and south of route 50. Prepare for a slow and slippery commute tomorrow. Montgomery county, arlington, fairfax and Prince Georges county and st. Charles county is where it when the worst and most of the snow will fall. So, how much . 1 to 2 inches playing south to fredericksburg and southern sections of Prince Georges county. A trace to an inch through d. C. And baltimore and through frederick and hagerstown probably just flurries. Not much north of pred rick or north of i frederick or north of i70. 5 30 in the morning, yes, there is the snow breaking out and there is a little mixture of rain that will cut down on the amount as little bit, but most of the snow will be in maryland. Around 7 30, this model is a little aggressive with the snow. By 10 00 still snow between d. C. And baltimore. In the noon hour there is still snow, moving further to the west but very light toward i 81, only a trace out there. By 3 00 done as it moves on out to sea. Tonight thickening cloudiness and cold. Light snow possible by dawn. Check out the temps, 18 to 24. Again, a little storm but a moderate impact because of the timing. In the morning, mostly cloudy and cold.

She won 4th place miss olympia, but the sport for women is dying. In the 1990s it dominate. Women got bigger and bigger. Reporter but popularity declined and it never recovered. This past may a signature event, the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic canceled due to lack of fan interest. Women like janet west have filled the boards. The former burgundy and gold cheerleader is what is now called a figure competitor, still muscular but leaner. We want to get in a dress and still look feminine and be perceived as a woman to the outside world but it is a little boring to see a woman standing up there during the quarter turn. Reporter a company out of hanover, maryland, says his company is not abandoning the competition but it is clear there are more options. We had one class in novice Bikini Division with 53 competitors in it. Reporter thus, body builders like auckland have a difficult dilemma, lose muscle or competitive venues, a bitter pill to swallow. Body builders were first. We led the way for all the other divisions to occur. Without us they would not be here. She says many traditional female body builders have to decide whether or not to lose mus toll get into the more lucrative divisions.
