suicide yesterday afternoon. a train struck and killed a man who had been standing on the tracks sow of this rockville station. that shut down the brunswick line for several hours during the heart of the evening rush which meant many of the marc crews were not able to have their federally mandated time off duty last night. federal railroad administration rules require all crews passengerring operating passenger trains have time off. hopefully mta says they are expecting all trains will be up and running in time for the evening rush. keep in mind more cancellations could be coming. andrea? >> thank you for that update. the current and presumptive next mayor of the district stood together with one of the most controversial figures in the city. michelle rhee announced she's

women pending rain. trains have been cancelled after a pedestrian accident yesterday afternoon. it happened near the rockville station. that's where we find kristin fisher. kristin i good morning. >> reporter: good morning, andrea. we now have three marc trains that have been cancelled for this morning, and there could be more cancellations coming. this is the situation if you use the marc train you are going to want to check their website, mt a's website before you head out to begin your commute this morning. i want to tell you why this happened first and foremost. this all started yesterday afternoon. unfortunately, police say, there was a -- this was an apparent will suicide and a train literally struck a person who was standing on the tracks south of where i am now at the rockville station. that shut down the brunswick line for several hours during the heart of the evening rush, which meant that many of the marc crews were not able to have their federally mandated time off duty last night.

the federal railroad administration rules require that all crews operating passenger trains have eight hours of off duty every night in between trips. so now marc does have some stand by crews but not enough to staff at normal levels this morning. that's why these three trains have been cancelled and they are train 870, which was suppose supposed to depart the brunswick station this morning. the train has been cancelled. also train 894, departing frederick at 7:10 a.m. and 880 departing brunswick at 7 houston 40 a.m. the best alternatives are 894 departing frederick at 7:20. the train will have extra cars or there's 878 departing martinsburg at 6:30. it normally departs at 7:07 but today it will hold until 7:40 this morning. now, mta says riders need to expect and plan for significant overcrowding this morning.

they are going to try to have additional cars on some trains, but for the most part all of the cancelled trains, people that ride those trains will be condensed to ones that are already running. if you ride marc trains on this line, you want to plan to be possibly standing for some time. you may not get a seat? still more lines could be cancelled. we will keep you updated on that. thank you, kristin. nine years after the 9/11 attacks forced washingtonians, a new reminder. an al-qaeda publication is recommending shooting up washington restaurants at lunchtime. with the hopes of killing federal worker and getting national attention but people with spoke with say they refuse to live in fear. >> it's just something to get people upset and, you know, riled up and i'm not worried. i'm not going to change my day- to-day routine because of that. >> reporter: however, officials
