a plan to single track all day, even during rush hour for an entire week. >> this is the piece that the ntsb recognizes, not being a part of our installation. >> reporter: months of the investigation for the smoke disaster that killed glover and nearly suffocated scores of metro riders have pinpointed what the ntsb says are improperly constructed and installed electrical connections. >> please remain calm that there will be no fire in the tunnel, just smoke. >> reporter: they say that they are following their urgent recommendations, for the immediate action. >> and this is what the sleeve is, fitting essentially right here. >> this is the connection where metro will be pointing two things to keep water in it and to install this in each ring to protect the electrical cable right there. and then this sleeve that will

also help keep water in contaminants. >> reporter: the ntsb says that the electrical booth was so badly burned that it is still unsure if they had that plastic sleeve. but metro, they now plan to install sleeves in 6,400 of those booths throughout the system. and getting that work done means single tracking trains in the middle of the work days, maybe single tracking for a whole week. >> that would be a problem, i don't know if freaked out is the right word, but certainly an inconvenience. >> and spring tourism season is not ideal. but i don't know when they would do it at some point they need to work on it. >> it won't please us all, but we certainly don't want the disasters. they are hoping to assign more people and that the cost to the

cash strapped agency, they just don't know yet. live at the metro station, bruce leshan wusa9. >> thanks, bruce. metro also reported today that three times in the last month that they have had problems with the doors opening on moving trains. and all those 4,000 series cars, so they are now pulled out of service until metro could figure out what's going on. >> well don't start complaining about the heat just yet that they are just getting started. the 90s are going to stick around for a while longer, but how long? that's the question. >> and that is a very good question, derek. some of the computer models break it over the weekend. it'll continue through the weekend and in to next week the actual temperatures. i'm outside right now that you don't move around and maybe you're not in a suit coat that it's not horrible right now. temperatures are essentially in the lower 90s, pretty much across the board looking at 91. and that is downtown at national officially at leesburg and manassas and 84 in annapolis as they got pretty warm by the water and that

water is a nice way to kind of modify the climate. okay. feels like 97 downtown and 92 in manassas and 95 in leesburg. so this isn't crazy either that we would see the heat index over the century mark and then we really take notice. record highs to beat today, well, 96 in martinsburg and 93 at dulles and only 92 so far and that they probably did not make it, 91 is safe downtown and 99 also safe in baltimore. and so the heat wave is here for the next four days and 93 tomorrow on saturday and 93 on sunday. and 95 on monday. the record highs, again, at national as the average is 83. so we are running about 10 degrees above average and their record is 95 tomorrow and 96 on saturday as those two were in jeopardy and 98 on understood looks safe and 101 on monday that looks safe. we will come back and talk about that three-degree

not that difficult. he hopped over through the woods across that field and in to their car behind the office building on tinder drive. >> they believe they quickly drove away. in fairfax, peggy fox wusa9. >> and now they hope that the guilty plea are assigned to matthew will also plead guilty to the murders of the daughter and hannah graham. that they arrested a man who allegedly met them online and arranged for the upscale local hotel rooms and then beat them violently. the 31-year-old is behind pars, facing some serious charges tonight, including rape, abduction of attempt to file and strangulation and that two incidents happened this week alone and the crown plaza in mcclane and the hyatts place. now according to police that they met their victims on backpage.com. and while the assaults are not life threatening that the assaults are causing
