firefighter through one of those grates. she was brought up and put into an ambulance and taken away. we don't know anything act her condition. she looked to be okay in terms of any sort of trauma or anything but she was breathing with an oxygen mask. two other people walked out of that tunnel and were taken away by police. and what we've seen since then and since we've moved here especially closer to the scene, is a lot of confusion, a lot of traffic. we are starting to get people pouring off some of the shuttle buss that metro has set up. we talked to some riders who were pretty upset because they really didn't know what was going on. let's take a look. this is what we heard from one rider. >> we were on 7th street for almost what an hour or two? so it takes three hours when it usually takes me 20 minutes to get home. no communication. we got off the bus because they had the bus driving toll a place where you had to kind of make a u-turn so, another bus driver had to get on to make the u-turn for her. >> we were on that bus for an

hour and 15 minutes. >> i was on the subway left the subway to get on the bus. >> reporter: and as you can hear there's still emergency response in this area. back with you live here. you're looking at i guess you would call it a triage area. they have been bringing some buss with what appear to be people who might have been coming out of these tunnels on them. tlafk is still blocked. a lot of people are concerned because they're seeing fbi vehicles from atf and other federal authorities here. that is usually the case in the nation's capital whenever there's an incident especially one they haven't resolved at this point. they are always responding. doesn't necessarily mean there's anything special or especially nefarious about it. they don't know exactly what it was at that point, and that's what this is all about, the investigation and finding out exactly what did happen. live in southwest, derrick ward news4. >> derrick, thank you. it has been a frustrating ride for thousands of passengers this evening that service on three lines has affected and

chris jansing at the white house with more on today's hack attack. chris? >> reporter: thanks very much jim. yeah youtube, twitter, social media infiltrated by a group claiming it was affiliated with isis and they put up these messages. one of them said "american soldiers we are coming -- watch your back." and it was signed by isis. now, obviously this is embarrassing although military officials say very pointedly there's obviously no classified information that's ever posted on youtube or twitter. however, they are notifying those senior military officials whose personnel information was hacked into and posted including phone numbers. centcom says it's been taking appropriate measures. they've notified hundreds of their managers making sure they know that all of their security protocols in place and in fact sending out some videos showing them how to do that. and the timing certainly couldn't have been worse because this hack happened just as the president was over at the federa talking about cybersecurity.

and when we asked josh earnest, the white house spokesman, about it he said yes, obviously they take this very seriously, obviously it's a concern that personnel phone numbers of generals may have been disclosed, but he says it's also important not to confuse this with a major data breach that while they are going to continue to look into this they don't believe that there was any serious leak of important information. and tomorrow the president, by the way, is going to be going into arlington, virginia where the national cybersecurity center is. we will hear more from him there. this is all part of his lead-up to the state of the union, and he's going to be previewing some of the proposals that he's making to keep all of our information safe as well as corporate accounts and government accounts safe. back to you. >> thank you, chris. new steps being taken now to increase security in the u.s. following those terror attacks in paris. today the department of homeland security announced it's stepped
