Into the dock in 2003 was prosecuted and he plead guilty to manslaughter. the director of the new york city ferry system was also prosecuted. he wasn t even on the boat at the time. and that s because they failed to follow protocol and have two men two crewmembers on the bridge. so there is precedent for this. the recent accident was very similar to this derailment. and the office has recently this past week indicated they are not going bring charges against mr. rockefeller, that engineer. all right, thank you both very much for joining us on that breaking news as they re honing in on the engineer specifically now on the amtrak crash. a major development. outfront next a significant victory for isis, the capture of ramadi just it s baghdad. now the fear is isis will launch a bloodbath, murdering innocent civilians. that and we will reenact that raid for you exactly what happened. plus police in texas on high alert tonight. fear of more violence from biker gangs after a massac
With north carolina department of transportation, the ferry system, getting people off of these barrier islands and safely inland. tremendous help to us getting out in front of this early. mr. baker, i know one of the challenges when you re ordering these evacuations is that sometimes people don t listen. they stay. to your knowledge, are people heeding the warnings and getting out thereof? there s always a few, jim. yes, a majority of people are heeding the warning. again, i think not to be repetitive but getting out in front of this, letting people know early the danger that this storm represents as it strengthens and we certainly anticipate that it will continue to strengthen and those barrier islands along the outer banks are in the direct path of this so, yes, it s critical but there will always be a few, that s unfortunate. once we evacuate those that are willing to go then it becomes a search-and-rescue and often times recovery mission after
True story. nine-year anniversary today. best prank on our friends and family ever! peg y she shared a prank from seattle saying seattle has ferries that travel from seattle to the islands. one april fool s morning the ferry system turned their ferries around which placed the everyone had a good laugh. we got some tweets that people noticed. we got a couple tweets. if you didn t notice, here s a look at some of the thinge on that april fool s day trick, john wearing a hat. i was wearing mittens. those were mine. then we switched. right. i had my hat to the side. you had gloves. here was another one. what did we do? look like the terminator there. headphones, no music going in them. what were we talking about? i look very serious there.

so i want people to understand that this is not over. response and recovery efforts will be an ongoing operation. and i urge americans in affected areas to continue to listen for the guidance and direction of their state and local officials. before the storm made landfall, the department of homeland security and fema worked very closely with our state and local partners as well as volunteer organizations to preposition supplies and teams of first responders along the hurricane s projected track. and the american red cross opened shelters in communities across the region. i want to thank those americans for their work over the past several days, which has saved lives and property up and down the east coast. we continue to have search and rescue personnel on alert as well as water, food and other needed resources. and moving forward, fema s working with state and local responders to assess damage and assist in the recovery. i do want to underscore that the impacts of this storm
