washington, d.c., makes today the deadliest day in our nation's capitol in more than 30 years. january 1982 was when a 737 that had taken off from national airport, what we now call reagan airport, crashed into the 14th street bridge in washington and then into the icy potomac river. 78 people were killed in that crash that day, including 4 people who had been on the bring or on the ground and were hit by the crashing plane. incredibly, that same day in washington, d.c., back in 1982, the same day as the plane crash, also saw a fatal derailment of a subway in the city. three people were killed when the metro derailed in a downtown tunnel. those accidents both happened on one day in washington. but that terrible day in washington was 31 years ago. four years ago in washington, there was another metro train crash which killed nine people. but today was the worst day in washington, d.c., in a generation. reporting on the story of what happened today in this mass shooting at the navy yard meant tallying up what seemed to be a new, higher death toll just about every hour over the course of the d

-ranking official that told "the washington post" that summers was his choice. it might have been the president. they executed poorly for something the president wanted instead of taking a different route. john tester doomed the whole thing at the end. there was no reason if this was the choice they could have gone about it differently, and at least made me wonder whether we are going to have failure to execute when it comes to the debt ceiling failure. >> kelly evans is here. >> good morning. >> some say it is a victory for the right. others say a progressive victory at the president's expense. >> this was an issue where the democrats were among those most opposed to summers. we had a lot of the congressmen that signed that letter against him in the first place. we had a lot of economists that would be surprised about the president coming back against this. this depends on yellen being the pick. it is far that that is going to happen. for all parties involved. because the president, for whatever reason, may simply want somebody else. the wall street journal reported this isn't just a
