Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the City that changes the world. Peers Rose with
three things you need to know for your Thursday. Rose Gotras.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Just heads up if you're driving this morning, you could
be facing a tricky morning commute, especially across central Maryland
with a light snow in the forecast. There's a winter
Weather Advisory that's in effect from seven until eleven this
morning with up to an inch of accumulation that could
make slick roadways, So just be extra careful. So passengers
who were on board when the Delta Airlines Flight forty

(00:29):
eight nineteen crash landed in Toronto ended up upside down
haven't offered thirty thousand dollars each as a good will gesture.
So the airline says the payment comes with no strings
attached and does not affect rights, which would presumably include
the right to legal action, because that was one of
my questions. Are they giving you thirty thousand dollars just
to like not do anything, or so saying no strings attached.

(00:53):
Also yesterday, it was reported that the family of one
of the sixty seven people killed and the DC plane
crash has filed claims totally two hundred and fifty million
dollars against the f FA or the FAA and the army.
The claims allege negligence on the part of both agencies
and are the first impossible like a possible filing for
a lawsuit under the Federal Torque Claims Act. So with

(01:16):
those pre case filings, the government has six months to
act on the claim and then after that the family
has two years to file lawsuit in federal court. So
I'm sure we're going to be seeing a lot more
of those stories as well. So there's an animal hospital
in DC that is waving fees for laid off federal workers.
Friendship Hospital for Animals posted on social media that they
would be waiving its emergency exam fee along with fees

(01:37):
for sick visits, which is really awesome that they're doing that.
So they also said it would be offering extended pay
options for all services beginning.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yes or on Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
And the hospital is open twenty four hours a day
every day and has been accredited by the American Animal
Hospital Association for over sixty years. So I just thought
that was really awesome that they're doing that. And the
Maryland Department of Transportation MARYLND Transmit Transit Administration is calling
on kids to showcase artwork in their Earth Date Art Competition,
which is really cool. This is the second annual one

(02:08):
that they're doing, but it's open to Marylyn youth age
five to seventeen, and the contest encourages participants to highlight
the link between public transportation and sustainability through their artwork,
which I think is really cute. And what's awesome is
the finalists we'll see their creations featured on a specially
wrapped bus.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Very cool.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
So I'm like, if we have one of our listener
kids like doing that, that would be so cool. And
the deadline for submission is Mark seventeenth, so start wrong.
I love to see like the kids' artwork on the buses.
I'm Rose. Those are the three things you need to
know of the day.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
