What we’re watching: Washington Monument earthquake footage, Indonesia’s train surfers, air traffic close call
Posted: 22 Jan 2012 03:00 AM PST
This weekend we look at some recently released video taken inside the Washington Monument during the earthquake last August. From Indonesia we learn about "train surfers" who ride on tops of trains to avoid paying for tickets. The government is taking extreme measures to stop the practice. We finish off with audio of the air traffic controller with a Southwest flight in Chicago who almost directed the Southwest plane into a LearJet that was taking off.
