We are hearing some really promising news coming out of houston. George h. W. Bush could be out of the hospital by this weekend. Hes taking his last round of antibiotics and hes being new pneumonia. President bush is 92 years old and just a few days ago doctors moved him out of the intensive care unit. The am track unit involved in a crash that killed eight people and injured hundreds more are blaming the company for the wreck. The company failed to address reports that people were throwing objects at trains on that section of track. He says he was left disoriented or unconscious where something hit his train and that caused the crash in philadelphia in 2015. Federal investigators say he was simply distracted by those reports, that he accelerated and caused the crash. Metro says its now fired 21 employees since last summers Train Derailment at the East Falls Church station. That is one third of the track derailment. We also learned more about an incident this week where a train operator opened the doors of the train stopped high above the ground. The operator told metro officials his elbow accidentally hit the door button as he was taking off his jacket. Metro says he didnt follow proper procedures. Hes now off the job pending an investigation. Virginia is only one of two states in the country that refuses to sell 151 proof alcohol but that could be changing.
