Your morning commute. It is october 17th, 2016. Alex is off. Lovely lauren dawn johnson is in this morning. Good morning, how are you. What is going on here. My neck line. It is no the straight. It is not supposed to do. I like to to things different. Sure you you do. We are doing something not weather first but traffic first because of the big tractor trailer accident. Exactly, no coffee but beer this morning. What . On a tractor trailer. At 12 00 or 12 30 earlier this morning a tractor trailer in the the left lane here involved in an accident. That tractor trailer was loaded with kegs and cases of beer. Some of the kegs pushed through and burst a big hole in the side of the tractor trailer. Lets go to the news van live i believe we have a live shot from the scene as crews have been hand off loading the tractor trailer all morning long but eastbound schuylkill expressway remains closed right now, at university. Heres the backup, already jammo there 30th street in toward that closure p
Cancel several trains for the evening rush hour. But folks we talked with say so far their rides are available. Theyre just not there yet. So theyre dealing with delays. Not cancellations. But the people we talked to are taking it all in stride. Septa, well, might as well shut the whole thing down going through all this. It makes no sense. It is what it is. You have to just deal with it. Hope septa does their part and make sure all the trains are running the best as possible. We all get on which i doubt will happen. I can see by the lines, but well see. Today is the first day. Deal with it. Reporter delays have been running upwards of 45 minutes for trains especially trains trying to leave center city. Septa says that you should look at finding other ways to get around. Lyft and uber also been cashing in on all of this as well. One more note. Late word septa says theyll try to get a Court Injunction so that they can get septa workers back to their work stations and try to cut down on s
Training and readiness. Lets take an air base. At an airbase, the air bases are open. They have guards at the gate. They have people in the tower. They have people in the fire truck. The lights are on. Were spending the money for all that. Where can you stop spending money quickly . Painting the buildings. Mow the lawn less often. That kind of thing. Importantly, you stop training. When you stop training, you have stopped readiness. We are protecting those in as we know are going to afghanistan and would be in a fight tonight on the Korean Peninsula if god forbid we ever had a wart on the Korean Peninsula. Were trying to protect the units most likely to find themselves in combat. For the others, we cannot afford to train them. That is risky because if something happens, those units will not be fully ready. Then we get to the civilian personnel part of a week ago, furloughs began for many of our civilians. Were far from washington, but our civilians live all over the country. They are n
Surfacing about the fireball, the damage and the panic. And definitely a vacation to remember, unfortunately the memories wont be good ones. Hear from passengers stranded for days in the heat and stench aboard a crippled cruise ship. Im a single lady so put your hands up. If you blinked, you missed out. Outraged fans demanding answers from ticketmaster after another beyonce show in d. C. Sold out in one minute. But we begin with Winter Weather tonight. Todays warm temperatures are not sticking around this weekend unfortunately. In fact, were seeing rain tonight and some areas are getting snow. Thanks for joining us tonight. Im shawn yancy. Im brian bolter. Down to gary mcgrady we go monitoring the very latest updates. Thanks, guys. Cold front is coming through. Ahead of that some showers and some snow. Were not worrying about any lakes with this particular outbreak of snow accumulation with this particular outbreak of snow. Lets go to sentinel radar. Most of this is green even though i
Disconnect between his take on what he should be doing as the president and all of the political advisers in the world. I think what hes saying with this is, im going to go out and pick the most apolitical, most qualified person i could find. I dont care how old they are. This person is 14 years older than srinivasan. I dont care if its going to motivate the democratic base. I know the person, im not particularly concerned about whether this could get better coverage. Im just picking the most qualified person i can dpientd. Probably didnt hurt hes. A fellow chicagoan. Isnt it true, tom, that the more life youve lived, the more jobs youve had, the more decisions youve handed down, especially if youre a judge, sometimes president s pick politicians as Supreme Court justices. California governor earl warren as chief justice comes to mind. In this atmosphere, everything youve uttered or written is potentially held against you . Theres no question that it is, in one sense, dangerous to pick
