A couple of those handrail lights overheated and caught fire. No one was hurt. The root cause of the fires has still not been identified. So now all of the lights in these handrails are off and riders are left shaking their heads. I mean it does surprise me its starting on fire but this being a new station you kind of surprised when stuff is breaking already. But a handrail starting on fire was not really in the things you thought would occur. Reporter now, this is an important point to remember here. Metro didnt build the silver line. The metropolitan Washington Airports Authority did. Metro says its going to hold them and their contractors responsible for this work.

Brian butler has the lead and the ball. Time out story wig. Texas has two remaining. Butler just one. Steve Isaiah Taylor showed he was going to use the screenandroll with lammert. Kameron woods was worried about switching. You cant have taylor go oneonone with woods because of his length. I think right now if youre butler you have to have a way to get this basketball in youve got to go get it a foul on Isaiah Taylor. Brian barlow will head to the freethrow line. Quick foul. Quick bucket by taylor. A quick foul. And i think rick barnes wanted Something Else there. Hes not happy with the way that shook out. Alex barlow. Out of the cincinnati area.

Reporter but now she fears that the 24hour Super Walmart will flood the neighborhood with traffic at all i hours. Absolutely. But for me that it is not just in my backyard, but i dont even like walmart in that community. Reporter she lives next door and has become a leader in that antiwalmart fight. This is a small quiet residential neighborhood. And this plaza, it is a neighborhood plaza. Not an appropriate place for an intense 24hour Super Walmart. Reporter in a statement they told wusa that they are looking forward to revitalizing a building that has sat vacant for 500 years. They argued that they had met their requirements to expand and open. Even if that is true, they are fighting against the largest retailer. Regardless of what is going to happen today that we will keep fighting. Reporter with so many speakers, that meeting will continue now, as we have t
