in sunset park? reporter: they just opened up the streets here so now traffic can go through. it had been closed all morning since the shooting. a couple of pieces of information for you, one from a source at the mta, who is telling me what they do not know is whether the suspect fled within the subway tunnels or if the suspect left and walked up the stairs and fled on the street. what they re doing right now is going from subway to subway to subway, station to station to station, forgive, they re going this way because he was on the northbound line, and they are looking at all of the surveillance video they can to see, to try to determine if they can catch a glimpse of this person within the subway tunnels. they don t know, again, whether he fled underground or up here. they re also doing the same thing with all the surveillance video on the street. they ve talked to multiple witnesses, and so far not a single one of them can give them a clear indication where this suspect went, wha
well it s not quite as cut and dried as all of that. in fact, if i could add some texture on some of your earlier discussion congress has already authorized what they call positive train control system to be in by the end of the year. the truth is, they already have something called automatic train control and that s what the ntsb and fra is insisting be put in place when they put this line back in place. automatic train control is what they call it, and it s something that is not quite as comprehensive as positive train control but it would have prevent this had tragedy and it is available now. they re going to put that in on the northbound line. another thing that s interesting is people say, well, you know the train engineer wasn t hit by a projectile. they would have known it if he had been obviously.

starting at about $100,000 per speech and moving up to $350,000 for one speech which is not a bad way to spend a couple of hours. i mean but at the same time, she s trying to make the point that she understands the problems of working families. she is committed to trying to make the playing field more level, improve stagnating wages, make all kinds of other improvements for the bottom line of middle class families. so far most of that is rhetoric. she s starting to put a little bit of flesh on those bones from a policy perspective and will continue to do so over the next year. but it s a bit difficult to do. optically when most americans could say wait a minute, never in a million years going to earn like even $100,000 in a year let alone for one speech. but ann, do you think when
