to absorb the impact and cushion the blow as you go along. so that is what their finding is not working properly and as they've gone out to crash scenes and done their own tests, they found that there's enough of a concern that they have to be replaced. >> has the manufacturer been called? is the manufacturer going to replace them? who is responsible for this? that's the manufacture of the end guardrail unit. they're standing by their products and vdot is the one taking this step. it could cost roughly $100 million to take all of these out across the state. there could be as many as 15,000 of these supposedly defective guardrails all across virginia. >> this is going to be a big effort. >> and are they confident that the new guardrails that they put in are not going to be defective? are they going to get it from another manufacturer? >> right. so what they've done is they've gone and identified some that they can use that will absorb the impact of the crash and they

have a product that they like very much and they'll put in place of these guardrail units and it's not every single guardrail and that's something that makes it difficult that they have to go and identify all of them so this is going to be a big challenge and it's not something that will be fast. >> hundreds have been tested for skin diseases as a precaution after 15 wrestlers were found to have impetigo and ringworm. cleaning crews have been disinfecting all of the mats and lockers, but health officials say there is no widespread outbreak among wrestlers or loudoun county schools. in just a few hours the loudoun county school board will hear a public hearing on a proposed plan that has a lot of parents upset. the board is trying to decide whether to drop two jewish
