[ sirens ] >> oh, my god! >> chaos in college park, a man

shot and tiffed still manages to steal a police -- tasered still manages to steal a police cruiser and crashes, the video only seen on fox 5. but we begin with a developing story in prince george's county, an underground metro train derailment that happened just as the evening rush got underway causing commuter chaos. the effects of the accident will be felt all weekend long. good evening. i'm brian bolter. >> i'm laura evans. metro says three train cars jumped the tracks near the west hyattsville station on the green line. question now, did the extreme heat play a role? fox 5's audrey barnes is monitoring metro live in hyattsville with more. >> reporter: green line service between hyattsville and -- between ft. totten and the prince gorge's plaza has been suspended while the accident is investigated. they'll run buss to take people where they need to go -- buses to take people where they need to go. this fan shaft was essentially

an escape hatch for the 55 passengers on the cars that derailed. it was the only way to get them out. firefighters in full turnout gear had too go in after them. >> metro held -- to go in after them. >> metro held the people on the train. metro shut off the electricity on the rail and our folks were able to evacuate the folks up out of this tunnel with metro's assistance to get them to buses so metro could take them from there. >> reporter: the heat above and below ground made the rescue more challenging. several people were treated for heat-heated ailments after walking 500 feet from the train -- heat-related ailments after walking 500 feet from the train to the exit. >> we escorted a pregnant 26- year-old to the hospital to be sure she was doing fine. >> reporter: all the other passengers were taken to this cooling bus for evaluation. eventually they boarded separate buses to continue to their destinations. metro imposed a 35 mile-per- hour speed limit so they could

prevent another accident and search for the cause of this one. the slower speeds led to a ripple effect of delays throughout the entire metro system including here at ft. totten. top priority, figuring out why this train left the tracks. >> there were three cars that derailed. as to the cause, we're not entirely sure what happened at this point, still just too early to say. >> reporter: now that same metro spokesman says there is a very real possibility that he did play a factor in this accident. i also asked if that train actually flipped over on its side. i'm told the train was actually touching the side of the tunnel. that prevented probably more serious injuries for those 55 passengers who were on board. now metro has suspended all track work this weekend. they will be inspecting every inch of this rail line to find out compact -- every inch of this rail line to find out exactly what happened. several people posted pictures during today's chaotic

commute. a rider named nick took this pic from the ft. totten station showing the giant backup caused by the derailment. melanie green was at ft. totten that takes a picture that gives a different perspective of that same crash. if you see something on metro, take a picture or video, send it to us at fox5metro@gmail.com. >> another big story tonight, the extreme heat. you thought today was stifling. wait till tomorrow. let's turn things over to gary mcgrady now. >> i believe that's nats park out in the distance there. listen, hot today again. we did not make it to 100 degrees, but, however, this was the ninth day in a row -- it almost pains me to say it -- of high temperatures over 95 and looks like we've got a couple more. we're still expecting cooler temperatures next week, though. let's get over to temperatures now. it's 90 degrees in the city. it's come down a bit in the last couple of hours. it's 84 for dulles.

you'd think pretty comfortable there and 79 in manassas. let's add in the heat index and it's still steamy in town, 95 degrees, feels like 98 for frederick, 94 for hagerstown and 91 there in fredericksburg and annapolis. listen, well, i should call this what it is, not just a heat warning, it's an extreme heat warning put out by the national weather service. this will be in effect for tomorrow, specifically in effect from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. tomorrow night. heat index values of 110 to as extreme as 115 possible. when are we going to break the back of this heatwave? what can we expect through the weekend? it was one week ago tonight those massive storms caused more than 1 million power outages in the d.c. region and while a majority of people finally have their electricity restored there are still some waiting. here is what power companies in

the d.c. area are dealing with at this hour. pepco still has just under 7,000 outages. dominion virginia has just over 4,500 in northern virginia out and bg and e has about 600 outages in montgomery and prince george's county. so how are people on this waiting list coping one week later? fox 5's paul wagner went to find out. >> reporter: seven days after the storm and sue parker has no idea why the club she manages is still without power. there are no big trees down on power lines here and all the homes in the surrounding neighborhoods have gotten their electricity turned back on. so what gives? >> driving me nuts tenfold. i've made so many phone calls to pepco and to so many people at pepco and to my council member, to the congressional office, to every 1 trying to reach out -- to everyone trying to reach out and see who can help. >> reporter: but it simonious

one is listening. no power means no -- it seems no one is listening. no power means no swimming for 750 families who belong to this club. when she complains to pepco, she's told the club is just one business. >> i actually used the word cooling center. i said treat us as a cooling center, you know. those people without the electricity in chevy chase could have been coming here. >> reporter: but as sunday turned to monday and monday turned to tuesday, pepco was nowhere to be found. >> all i can think of is when this is all over, they're going to hear from us. >> reporter: meanwhile on ewing drive in bethesda james and ruth eden have been without power since friday, also, what a tree branch stripped the power line from their home, but no number of calls to pepco can defense them their home is not connected -- convince them their home is not connected. >> 14 or 15 calls at least. >> reporter: and how many times have they told you that your power is back on? >> that started yesterday. at least six calls they've told

me that your power is up and going. the grid is going. everybody has got their power. >> reporter: james evened says he's trying to maintain he's -- eden says he's trying to maintain his composure on the phone, but he's at his wits end. >> it drivers me nuts. they argue with me on the phone. >> reporter: up in glenn park where two homes were scorches and power lines were energized by mistake linemen have strung new lines and power was restored last night. >> that was fox 5's paul wagner. the general manager of the club says pepco is now telling her they hope to have the power back on by sunday. one week after the storm virginia governor bob mcdonnell is commending residents at the commonwealth for their patience as state agencies and utility companies continue to try to restore power and clean up. across the state at this hour more than 45,000 people are in the dark, 120 roads are still closed and the death toll from last week's storm has risen to 13. we have a list of storm-related

night. we are just going to -- i don't know. i don't know. >> reporter: sky fox flew over the scene around 8:00 last night. you could see some of the flames that consumed huge parts of the roof. it was brutally hot for all those firefighters down there. three suffered from heat-heated illnesses and it was frightening for the people who live here. >> i live on the other side of the neighborhood, but when you were standing on the stairs, you could see the flames raising up. it was really scary. >> reporter: despite the loss and uncertainty of life now, abna says she considers herself lucky. >> i thank god for my life and i thank god for the life of my parents, my kids, my husband. this can be replaced, but our lives cannot be replaced. i thank god. >> reporter: how long these families will be out of their homes? the property managers just can't say. in woodbridge, virginia, bob barnard, fox 5 news. a wildfire in the shenandoah national park is now

we've reached out to an expert. i'm a meterologist, not a climatologist, but we found pretty much an expert on this. dr. anthony jenatus is the director of joint global change research institute. i just have to ask, doctor, you'll have to help us understand here how is or is this heatwave any different than just an extended period of above normal temperatures that happens from time to time? is this related to climate change? >> well, it's hard to say that any individual event like this is related to climate change. we've had heatwaves in the past and will continue to have them in the future. what's really extraordinary about this one, though, is this is the direction in which we're moving in which a heatwave is in a sense added onto this long pattern of warming temperatures that we've seen oh roughly the past century or -- over roughly the past century or so. >> when you talk about adding onto, are you talking about the fact we're adding onto just

another extreme weather event? i mean we had what some called the super duracho, a term a lot of people in the area didn't know a week ago, but now most everybody is familiar with the term and that was maybe the strongest one that has ever come through here. >> what i really mean is the heatwave itself is in a sense sort of a normal heatwave, but now it's added onto this rising long term trend in temperatures that we've seen in the u.s. and indeed in many places around the world. >> how long has this been happening? what period of time have these temperatures been adding on and we're getting this unusual rise? >>if you look back at good temperature records nationally and internationally, we've seen the slow rise really over the last century or so, about .6 of a degree fahrenheit on a global average, but in any individual

place such as the eastern u.s. or in the midwest, in some places we've seen much larger changes than that. >> so there's a lot of chatter out there the last couple days about there's been more than 3,000 record high temperatures set the last week and a lot of folks are saying hey, you can look back to the '30s. it was just as hot or maybe even hotter in some cases. what makes this different? but you're basically saying maybe it's just an extension of that? >> it's a heatwave that's been added onto this long term trend. the '30s weren't quite as hot as today and if you look at the records over the last several decades, you'll see that we set an increasing number of record high years, record high days and, in fact, the warmest decades that we've recorded have been in the last three or four. >> doctor, thank you for coming out tonight. i guess what you're saying is basically this is kind of a little bit of a new normal for us to have to kind of deal with

some of these extreme temperatures out there. >> the way things are looking. >> thanks a lot, doctor. stay cool this weekend. brian, we do see -- the good news here is a little relief to the heat, but unfortunately we'll have this through the weekend. so full forecast is coming up. the murder case made headlines nationwide, but we haven't heard much about scott peterson in years. now the convicted double murderer is appealing his death sentence. the argument his lawyers are making next.

supreme court late thursday. it is standard practice in the state for all death penalty cases to be appealed. eight years ago the former fertilizer salesman was convicted of suffocating his wife and dumping her body in the san francisco bay christmas eve 2002. >> no matter what we think we know about peterson, the reality is that trials and death penalty cases are serious. they cost taxpayers a huge amount of money and it has to be done to the letter of the law. >> reporter: peterson has always maintained innocence. his lawyer argues the overwhelming publicity deprived peterson of a fair trial. the trial was moved from stanislaus county to san mateo county, but the defense attorney said it should have been moved yet again because of the crush of publicity. he adds 95% of prospective jurors in san mateo county said they were informed about the case. >> they talk about the media coverage, publicity. how about casey anthony? there was a lot of publicity and she was acquitted. that's going nowhere.

gaming revenues that would be able to come in? >> reporter: but with no agreement so far governor o'malley will not call for a special session at this time but urged his special commission to keep talking. >> should we go to full table games or not and should we have -- can this market absorb a sixth site or not? >> reporter: but since maryland has not opened all five of its gambling sites yet, some economists are cautioning it may be too soon to start planning another. >> so as you say at the beginning, people are very enamored by the newness of the casino. they may come from other states to come in. that does bring revenue in, but over time it just doesn't g with inflation even. >> reporter: even if the governor does not call for a special session on gambling this month, he still has time. the gambling referendum would have to be passed by august 20th in order for it to be on

the do want has been creeping on up. 100 degrees. they changed that on me after they sent out the official climatology report. they just changed it to 100. somewhere in there it managed up to 100 degrees after 5:30. dulles was 96 degrees, bwi marshall 97. let me show you the core of the heat out here has just been relentless the last several days, 106 st. louis, 107 little lock and i just made the comment it can't get much hotter than this out there. nashville 105 and we have had nine straight days here in d.c. over 95 degrees, okay? they have had nine straight days in st. louis over 100 degrees. so as much as we're complaining, imagine how it feels out there and it breaks a little bit, too after the weekend for them because of this frontal system right up here that will try and come down into the midwest and central plains, but i'm telling

you it's real hard for these fronts to penetrate into all this heat right here, but it's pretty good, fargo 76 today, international falls 73. we're all keeping our fingers crossed that the cooler stuff will come in. so look tonight manassas 79, culpeper 79, haven't seen 70s in the evening at this hour in quite a while, but it's happening again courtesy of slightly lower dew point out there. that's all going to change come tomorrow because the dew point is going to go up and our heat index will drive up well over 100 degrees. we feel like 95 now, frederick feels like 98, dulles 88 and quantico relentless still feeling like 100 degrees. the heat warning is in effect. it's been in effect here in the midwest in part of the central plains for several days now. it's just been a constant feature to their weather. we have the extreme heat warning that has been issued for us now and this will go through the day tomorrow 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. heat index will be up over 110

degrees in some cases. i think here in town we'll probably stay right around 108, 109, 110, some places a little warmer. no thunderstorms for us tonight. a little complex comes running ahead of that frontal system. don't worry. that won't come our direction overnight tonight and cause any problems. here's the setup for the weekend, hazy, hot and humid, warm behind this frontal boundary, a slight risk of thunderstorms tomorrow evening north along the front. sunday will be the day it looks like we're in for some severe weather, scattered thunderstorms strong and severe sunday, 102 tomorrow, a little cooler sunday, simply because i do believe we'll have a few more clouds and some thunderstorms. that will help things out. warm and muggy overnight, 81. we warm up quickly tomorrow and surge up over 100 degrees, heat index of 110 and beyond. we get this stagnant air, this big area of high pressure and hot air and we have red

air quality alert for tomorrow. so that can affect just about everybody, not just the elderly or the young, but just about everybody. so take it easy tomorrow and we're still expecting to be back to normal monday, tuesday, wednesday. i should say back to average. some people don't like when i say normal. they get all bent out of shape about that, but back to average monday, tuesday, wednesday. i'll get e-mails, i promise. >> i'm sure you know. i know. the big news today, the jobs report, the disappointing jobs report, the economy adding only 80,000 jobs in another weak month. john roberts is filling in for chris wallace on fox news sunday. i asked him what kind of speed bump is this throwing into president obama's current campaign bus tour. >> it really remains to be seen what kind of speed butch this gives president obama as he -- bump this gives president obama as he makes the way through the rest of his pennsylvania bus tour, but it's given mitt romney some ammunition to go at the president in ways he hasn't

been able to up until now. his appearance in new hampshire today maybe was energized from his few days off, but that appearance in the hardware store, leveled some of his strongest language yet at the president over his handling of the economy. it's particularly nutter this number on president obama because he's on the middle of that two-state bus tour through pennsylvania and ohio he's touting that economic record and when you have a jobs number like this it's not much to crow. about. >> there's reports he'll be coming to virginia. how does he respond to these jobs numbers? >> he just has to say look, as he did today, let's take this in the overall. since i took over the white house we've created this many jobs in these particular sectors, but when your number of jobs created is coming in at about 60% of what you need just to keep your head above water just to be treading water, that is not a good trend and, of course, worries with what's

going on in europe, declining manufacturing numbers in this country, the next four months are going to be very difficult for the president. if you look at what happened in 1992 when bush 41 was running against bill clinton, clinton very quickly defined the economy as the campaign issue. remember the campaign it's the economy, stupid? and even though the economy started to improve in the latter part of 1992, george bush still lost the election. that doesn't seem to be the trend right now with president obama, but if the numbers continue to be bad over the next four months, is he going to have a difficult time make -- he is going to have the difficult time making the case he should get a second term to try to turn the economy around. >> i know your guests this week will have something to say about the jobs numbers. who is coming up? >> ryan priebus will be with us and democratic national committee and we'll kick around healthcare because there's that repeal vote in the house scheduled for wednesday.
