. >> i could hear ashland in the background just screaming, and i knew right then i was like, oh, this is a lot worse than it sounds. >> reporter: paramedics rushed to the scene, the nearest burn center was 40 miles away so they decided she should be taken by air ambulance. >> there are four paramedics standing in your bathroom saying we're going to fly, this is what's going to happen, you just go, okay. >> reporter: ashland made a full recovery, and the stouts insurer covered the hospital bills. but two months later, they received a bill from the air ambulance company saying they owed over $18,000. >> in a true medical emergency, if you call a ground ambulance, your insurance company is likely to pay most of the cost. but insurance companies say air ambulances charge such huge bills, they're only willing to pay a fraction of the cost. and that means you the consumer are stuck paying the rest of the bill. >> reporter: and that cost can be high. consumer report says the arch bill for medical helicopters is more than $30,000. even more shocking, consumer reports find many people taken by

to ashland, virginia.at this railroad crossing here and it is beyond comprehension why this van turns left right here. >> all right. >> where are you going? >> they're obviously not catching the 310 to yuma. >> i wouldn't say that about the rail lines. >> that is because an amtrak passenger train is coming. the gates start going down. their lights start flashing. and yes, off in the distance, that dratrain is nearing. at this point the car is stuck. >> you can see all the smoke front right. you've got to assume one of the wheels is just spinning. >> the good thing is that conductor saw this with enough distance to be able to break and bring that train to a stop. and fortunately it was on the other tracks also. nobody was injured. here's the best part. or worst part depending on your perspective. as soon as the train stops, that driver is finally able to somehow get unstuck, drive over that track, and they take off. >> so they're going to get a ticket or a fine, right? >> doesn't sound like they'll receive

to brian next up, independent line, from ashland, oregon. hello there. caller: hello. yeah, i would like to agree with the last caller, much of what he said. i just want to look at the recent maybe u.s. involvement in korea, under mcarthur was probably the worst example that the general had misapprehension of the chinese threat and so forth. that would be the worst example of a general running the war versus truman. i would snay vietnam, it was more of a disconnect as far as us losing the village level, tactical level of the war probably than in 1962 and 1963, as the earlier caller said, that generals and johnson both missed that. looking at obama with his policies in mosul and the early part of isis, i think we really missed the boat on that as far as being able to step on isis early and allow them to gain pretty significant victories gainst the iraqi, pro-u.s. iraqi government that was fighting. i'd say it's a very mixed bag, i guess, but a plaud trump in trying to allow the generals tactical and operational latitude, and i think he has to maintain a cohesive strateg

i believe voters in ashland, north carolina and houston, xas want the same thing want to vote just as voters in paris and berlin to have confidence in their election systemses. as the committee continues its investigation, it is clear that russian activities fell into what i would refer to as a seam. it was domestic activity by a foreign power so the intelligence community wasn't quite sure how to approach it. it involved what i might informally call pseudo government, organizations and the political parties that it confused our government's approach. lastly the intelligence community diligently avoids political issues. so that added to the additional complexity of this problem. here's where we are today. this committee's got a charge from the leadership and that's to thoroughly review russia's meddling in the 2016 election. and the committee is committed to finishing that investigation no matter how long it takes and what the results are. i'm not sure that russia's involvement in our election will change much from our initial assessment, which was the i.c.a. that was produced by the
