as you mentioned this all started after yesterday's incident at mcphearson's square. no one was hurt when the smoke filled the station, but what the inspectors discovered was roughly the same issue that led to the deadly incident over at l'enfant plaza last year. tomorrow is the plan to get the inspectors and engineers out on the tracks inspecting piece by piece the jumper cables. we why are you doing this in the middle of the week, why aren't you doing it on the weekend? he said in this case safety trumps convenient. >> i cannot rule out a potential life safety issue here and this is why we must take this action immediately. we basically have what's called jumper cables. we have third rail and it comes and there's a gap in it occasionally, 600 times. so there's four large cables that basically connect the power from one end to the other. in this case, there was potential metal on metal which is very similar to what we had at the l'enfant plaza situation. it happened once. it's happened twice in a year. so i can't wait for the third time. > once again, a little less t

cables that have rather thick conduits that have metal cablese inside which caused the incidend at mcphearson as well as was what was lininged to the incident at l'enfant plaza was the fact that those jumperhose cables had worn down insulation inside and as a result there wae a metal on metal situation thatn was causing the smoke. gm paul wheat feld said they had to do this tomorrow. the question that am of youyou have, why are they doing this tomorrow? why can't take wait't until the weekend? here's what he had to say. >> what we tend to find outout where we have potentially any issues we will treat them justtm like we if with the mcphearsonce square situation, which is if we have a situation where it can be located locally we will single track around it and that eveninn we'll shutdown at 9:00 p.m.9:00 because we need to shutdown power in both rails to deal with this issue. now, something like this happened twice in the last yeart where we had some sort of smokef event and in neither event did we see the extent what happenedt
