Metro stations. So firefighters were dispatched to those locations including at Lenfant Plaza, but the Mayors Office is still trying to find out the exact time when that metro train was disabled. There are a lot of questions that remain and from our point of view we have to make sure that the response in our Fire Department responded in every fast and safe way possible. Reporter the mayor has ordered a full review of the metro smoke incident in conjunction with the ntsb. We know that 200 people were evacuated and 804 people including carol glover, the one fatality, were transported to the hospital. More than an harry latched from the first call coming an hour elapsed from the first call coming from Lenfant Plaza. It took 21 minutes before metro cut off power to the rail. I just heard this morning that radios are not working in the tunnels and i think that also contributed to response times. Reporter thats what mayor Muriel Bowser is concerned about, too. Firefighters were using new radios put into use last month. There are reports they were working intermittently in the tunnel and firefighters had to use runners to communicate. There has been a lot of discussion about if the firefighters could hear amongst themselves and get upstairs and what was the state of the equipment, our equipment and the metro equipment and i expect that well be able to have some answers to those questions. I think there should be more training with the response officials, too both with metro and the Emergency Services in town, too. Reporter while we wait for the ntsb full report, the Mayors Office says that they are about to release a preliminary report in the next 48 hours, a full report scheduled for next week. That should be coming out in the next few days. Back to you. A d. C. Lawyer announced the first lawsuit today against metro in that trapped train tragedy and the first of as many as 20 claimants offered new details of the operators heroic efforts to get that train out of the tunnel and back into the Lenfant Plaza station. Bruce leshan is live at that station with the story. Reporter it is a harrowing story. The 53yearold fredericksburg ride her all but given up. He texted rider had all but given up. He being ited a final goodbye he texted a final goodbye to his mother and two children convinced he was not going to get t rich is still wearing his Georgetown Hospital wristband. Doctors just released him after almost four days. His story of terror underground and the desperate effort to get out is supplemented by a new video. I understand theres smoke on the train. Please op the doors. We are about open the doors. We are about to move back to the platform. By the time they get us to the platform well be cooked. He said the train wont move until the train thats already in the plaza gets out. Reporter rich says several Metro Transit Police were in his car yelling into their radios trying to get another train to move out of Lenfant Plaza so the trapped train could move in. They are holding the train on Lenfant Plaza. You need to get in contact with them and have them move that train off the platform. Just constantly screaming at command trying to get it turned to the fifth channel or this channel and nobody could even get that train out. What a crock of reporter you can hear the passengers growing increasingly scared. Rich said he sent what he thought was a final text to his family. I told my mother that i loved her and i told my kids i loved being their dad. Reporter richs lawyer says she is suing metro for answers, why did it take so long to get those people help, that one woman was killed and scores of others were injured . Those people should not have been trapped like rats in a subway car filling with smoke. Reporter five more passengers have now signed onto that lawsuit. Attorney kim brooksrodney is a former assistant general manager at metro. She rented the estate of general david v represented the estate of general david worely and his wife ann who were killed in the 2009 metro crash and reached an undisclosed settlement with metro in that case. A Memorial Service will take place this monday to remember carol glover, the woman who died in the smoke incident. Capitol hill baptist officials said glover and her family attended services at the church and that is where they will gather to remember her monday at 10 a. M. Ms. Glover was 61. She leaves behind two sons and recently became a grandmother. An ohio man has been arrested for plotting to attack the u. S. Capitol building and kill federal workers. In an undercover fbi operation 20yearold Christopher Cornell was arrested outside a gun shop in ohio where he allegedly bought two semiautomatic rifles and 600 rounds of ammo. Prosecutors say he professed allegiance online to isis and spoke of plans to commit acts of jihad. Cornells father says his son was a kid who somehow lost his way. I believe he was really vulnerable and i believe he was coerced in a lot of ways. Investigators say they had been monitoring cornell for months ready to actand that the public was never in any kind of danger.

Right now pope francis is visiting the philippines. He was greeted this morning by catholic officials and a big gust of wind. The blustery breeze white cam as he walked off the plane in the capital cap as he walked off the plane in the capital city. Hundreds of thousands people waited in the steaming heat to catch a glimpse of the popes motorcade as it slowly drove through the streets. We could see something similar here in d. C. Later this year. Our Debra Alfarone has been tracking down whether pope francis is making washington part of his u. S. Trip in september. What have you learned, deb . Reporter they have not confirmed anything yet, but that did not stop us from nosing around. This is what we found. Its official. Pope francis will visit philadelphia for the world meeting of families in the end of september, but will he be stopping here, here and here . An official with the d. C. Board of trade says the pope is coming to washington and also new york. This was echoed by the Catholic News Agency reporting the vaticans secretary of state confirmed d. C. And new york are likely stops. The archdiocese in new york tells me that they are anticipating the pontiffs visit, even having informal talks on what pope francis might do, but theyre still awaiting confirmation. The archdiocese of washington says they cant confirm a papal visit to d. C. , but if it happens, what would the pope do . House Speaker John Boehner has invited pope francis to address a joint session of congress and whats a stop in the Nations Capital without a step into bens . I think the pope would be it would be wonderful if the pope were to meet with the youth and discuss literacy in washington d. C. And the issues facing young people with reading and writing in local schools. He strikes me as a pope thats for the people. So instead of dont go to any of the cliche, you know, touristy attractions downtown, but actually visit the communities and neighborhoods of d. C. I think the pope ought to be who he is. He has demonstrated that he is a person of the people. I think he ought to take an opportunity to visit some of the areas of the city and touch some people who would probably never imagine themselves having that opportunity. Reporter you go to bens, never know who youll run into, former mayor gray having lunch today, but we also found out there was a bit of a buzz maybe the pope would host an event here at the basilica in northeast d. C. They say at this time they have no news and no plans, so there you go. Live in northeast, Debra Alfarone, wusa9. I bet a lot of people are holding onto hope.

Peggy fox joins us live from x county courthouse us where other lawsuits stand. Reporter these are the 29 violations that one maryland man is fighting. The fees total about 30,000. Transurban has a first time forgiveness policy and caps its fees at 2,200, but many defendants say they did nothing wrong and shouldnt have to pay anything. It would be similar to mickey mouse suing you. Reporter David Burnhart is an attorney representing several clients sued by the transurban, the company that operates the 90 fever and 495 express lanes. As 95 and 495 express lanes. As far as i can tell transurban is a fickal name. The corporate names are different. Fictional name. The corporate names are different. Reporter he said the suits have passed the statute of limitations. Wednesday burnhart was successful on getting two h. O. T. Lane lawsuits thrown out when he protested the person representing transurban was neither an attorney nor an employee of the company. Thats a legal matter and well address this in the court. Reporter the transurban spokesperson would not discuss the dismissed cases. He does dispute allegations of several defendant including arthur sobers. He was served with nearly 30,000 worth of summonses due to alleged toll violations even though he had an ezpass. I was under the impression that everything was in good standing. We had a credit card on auto pay. Reporter sobers and others say they were not notified about the violations until they were summoned to court. The driver only will enter the Court Process after a period of at least eight months, many notices to them there was an issue beforehand and again reporter thats how your system is supposed to work, but what if theyre not getting the invoices that you say they are . Customers are absolutely getting these notices. They are provided to them by the mail house provider at the invoice stage and again from the collections agency. Reporter burnhart says due process is lacking and hes challenging virginias 75 Year Agreement allowing transurban to operate and enforce the express lanes tolls. There are no defenses. If transurban makes the mistake, you, the public, pays the fine. Reporter you know you must have an ezpass to ride the express lanes. The company says the root of most of these problems with people who have the pass is that they havent mounted the pass correctly or they do not have funds in their account. So they say make sure those two things are correct. Live in fairfax peggy fox, wusa9.
