this commuter alert. she's live from the train station in rockville. kristin? >> reporter: hey, good morning, andrea. well, three marc trains have now been cancelled for this morning. i want to show you where they are and what we are talking about. this is a map of the marc commuter trains systems. this is union station, dc down here. montgomery, frederick county, washington county and this is the brunswick line starting at martinburg and frederick and this, the three trains cancelled are all along this route here. the trains we are talking about. one of them happened this morning at phi clock this morning out of brunswick. the two other marc trains that have been cancelled are train 894 departing frederick at 7:20 a.m -- excuse me, i'm so sorry. it is 89 departing frederick at 7:10. and train 880 departing brunswick at 7:40. those are the two other trains that have been cancelled.

the best alternates are 894 departing frederick at 7:20 a.m. or 878 departing martinsburg at 63 o. it will hold at the brunswick station until 7:40 this morning. other alternatives include taking 991 or the montgomery county ride on with service to rockville and silver spring. what caused all of these cancellations? unfortunately police say it was an apparent suicide. yesterday afternoon, a freight train struck and killed a man who had been on the tracks sow of the rockville station. that shut down the line for several hours during the heart of the rush. which meant many of the marc train crews were not able to have their federally mandated eight hours of time off duty last night. marc does of course have some stand by crews but not enough to stand at normal levels this morning. so the mta says they are planning on being back up and running. all trains in service, hopefully in time for the

evening rush today. but keep in mind they are warning that more train cancellations could be coming. so that is something that we are certainly going to want to watch for if you do indeed use the brunswick line for either the morning or evening commute. back to you. >> thank you for the update. ten weeks ago, who thought this is what we would be saying. all 33 trapped miners in chile are safe and sound this morning. the last of the miners was pulled to safety two hours ago. the foreman was number 33. the rescue operation took just over 24 hours. none of the rescuers were hurt in what is called a flawless operation. it captured a worldwide audience including the chilean ambassador here in washington. he says it shows the power of the human spirit. >> there's so many lessons. the unity, the friendship of other countries, supporting our effort there. so -- i'm the happiest
