<v Speaker 1>This is WBZY, Boston's news radio. We defining local news

2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening after last night's deadly

4
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>mid air collision in Washington between an American Airlines passenger

5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.679
<v Speaker 1>jet and an Army Blackhawk helicopter. We've learned an FAA

6
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>report says staffing was not normal for the time of

7
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>day and volume of traffic. According to the Associated Press,

8
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the report says one air traffic controller was working two

9
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 1>positions at the time of that crash. Earlier today, President

10
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump reacted, the President vowing to find out why the

11
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 1>two collided over the Potomac River, killing everyone on both aircraft.

12
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:43.920
<v Speaker 2>We are a.

13
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Country, really, we are in mourning. This is really shaking

14
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people, including people very sadly from other

15
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>nations who were on the flood. The President says their

16
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.359
<v Speaker 1>travel safety standards were lowered during the previous administrations, and

17
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 1>he criticized former presidents and Biden for putting politics first.

18
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>He also claims DEEI policies are to blame. The President

19
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>says he'll restore America's faith in air travel and says

20
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>people need to be hired based on intellect and brain power.

21
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>The chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, Jennifer Hammandy,

22
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 1>says they will leave no stone unturned when investigating the

23
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>deadly collision. We are going to conduct a thorough investigation

24
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 1>of this entire tragedy looking at the facts. Man So far,

25
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 1>officials have not recovered the flight data recorders. A crushing

26
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>blow for an esteemed local skating club as they reel

27
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>from this disaster. WZ Hiles Shaffle has more from Norwood.

28
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 3>It's a horrible echo in time here at the Skating

29
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 3>Club of Boston.

30
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 4>And I personally feel that this club, the Skating cub

31
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 4>of Boston, has just now almost sixty years later and

32
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 4>been coming out of the shadow of that nineteen sixty

33
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 4>one crash. So this is particularly devastating. See you.

34
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 3>Doug zeg Hives says this is the second time in

35
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 3>its history that the club is morning after a deadly

36
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 3>plane crash. This time it's the loss of six people

37
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.239
<v Speaker 3>who were aboard that American flight that crashed over night

38
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:04.680
<v Speaker 3>in DC.

39
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's senseless, but accidents happen.

40
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Then, includes two teenagers, sixteen year old Spencer Lane of

41
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 3>Rhode Island and thirteen year old Ginahan of Mansfield and

42
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 3>their mothers also a board. Two noted coaches with them,

43
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 3>No Mov and Genyas Shishkova, the lead behind a son, Max,

44
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 3>who is also competing in Wichita.

45
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.280
<v Speaker 4>He was actually on a plane on Monday. I came

46
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 4>back with him.

47
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 3>There's been a steady trickle of shock skaters in and

48
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 3>out of the center here, which will remain open this week.

<v Speaker 1>With WZ will have continuing coverage of a reaction and

51
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>more information about this crash. WBC can also be heard

52
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>on the new iHeartRadio app and you can set us

53

<v Speaker 1>as one of your set stations on that app. Governor

54
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>more Hilly making some changes to a Patrick administration error

55
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>task force that's focused on the state's military installations. The

56
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>governor has put Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll and the state's

57
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 1>entire congressional delegation in charge. The Stachusetts Military Asset and

58
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>Security Strategy Task Force has been working for more than

59
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>a decade to stay on top of the possibility of

60
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 1>base realignment and closure efforts and to key in on

61
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>economic development opportunities. The task Force convenes state and federal lawmakers,

62
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>along with military officials and representatives of the higher education

63
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 1>and defense industry to promote these six military installations in

64
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Massachusetts that are together responsible for more than thirteen billion

65
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 1>dollars in annual economic activity and account for about fifty

66
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>seven thousand jobs. It's got clouds that are going to

67
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.199
<v Speaker 1>build in as we head through the evening tonight, although

68
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 1>temperatures aren't going to go terribly far, and we'll settle

69
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>in probably the mid twenties, and then eventually temperatures are

70
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 1>going to start to climb tonight into the thirties. Tomorrow

71
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>will land around forty degrees or so. We'll have those

72
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 1>clouds in place, and some rain comes in here probably

73
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 1>around midday and sticks with us through the afternoon and

74
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.639
<v Speaker 1>into the early evening. As it departs, the parting gift

75
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>will be a little bit of snow mixed in, and

76
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>so a slushy coding to an inch could fall in

77
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 1>and around Boston. Bit more than that, as you head

78
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>out into the suburbs north and west of town, there'll

79
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>be some icy spots Tomorrow night two thirty for the

80
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.599
<v Speaker 1>low only about thirty two with some sunshine Saturday Sunday,

81
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.719
<v Speaker 1>we'll have some sun to start, we'll have some clouds

82
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>to finish, and maybe a mix of rain and snowshowers

83
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>getting in here Sunday night. Right now, twenty eight degrees

84
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 1>in Boston. Anita Master Dot is keeping busy at the

<v Speaker 1>This is Mission Control, Houston.

90
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 2>We just concluded our EVA at twelve oh nine pm

<v Speaker 2>Central Time.

92
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 5>The duo spending over five hours outside the International Space

93
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 5>Station to gather samples to see whether micro organisms exist

94
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 5>on the outside of the orbiting laboratory. With the help

95
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 5>of Mission Control, they also fixed a broken antenna.

96
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 3>Hey, that's a backup position.

97
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to reconfigure for a couple of darkenests to

98
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Skipchin fronyst for after that, I'm ready.

99
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 5>Both Sunny and Butch have been stuck the ISS since June,

100
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 5>following issues with their Boeing Starliner capsule that prevented them

101
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 5>from returning home now. They're expected to come back in

102
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:11.040
<v Speaker 5>late March or early April, almost ten months after they arrived.

104
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Dinner with a View. There's a lighthouse no with the

105
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Boston where you can have both. CBS News Boston's Chris

106
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Tanakat takes us there.

107
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Range lighthouses work in pairs, with a taller one and

108
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>a shorter one. When aligne, the two lights helped seafarers

109
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>navigate tricky waters. It's also why these lighthouses are on

110
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>shore and not some remote cliff for island.

111
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 1>This one is somewhat unique in that it's right downtown.

112
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Jay Hyland is the president of the Lighthouse Preservation Society.

113
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 2>The nonprofit owns and maintains the one in Newburyport. It

114
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 2>takes a lot of money, but the society has found

115
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.040
<v Speaker 2>an ingenious way to raise funds.

116
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 4>We wanted to.

117
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Show what could be done with an abandoned.

118
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Lighthouse tower, and what they've done is partner with six

119
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 2>local restaurants to create an unforgettable experience. The lantern room

120
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.600
<v Speaker 2>has been remodeled and can comfortably see a party of four,

121
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>but more intimately a party of two.

122
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.399
<v Speaker 1>The experience includes climb of fifty five stairs to reach

123
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 1>the Lantern room. After dining, you can go out on

124
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>the catwalk. There are views that are as tasty as

125
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the meal. You are now in the loop. For news
