GSN 2014 Digital Yearbook of Homeland Security Awards Recipients GSN INTERVIEW K. Denise Rucker Krepp, Distinguished Judge,GSN 2014 Homeland Security Awards Program positional authority to overcome bureaucratic stumbling blocks and they should use it to best address the needs of their constituencies. What keeps you up at night? KDRK: Mass transit security in Washington, DC. Eight years ago, the 9/11 Act mandated mass transit security plans. These requirements were put in place after the horrific London and Madrid bombings. I’m concerned that the Washington, DC plan isn’t sufficient. On January 12th, one individual died and seventy more were sent to hospitals when smoke filled a WMATA subway tunnel. It took almost 45 minutes for firefighters to begin evacuating stranded passengers. During these crucial minutes, riders had to depend on one another to survive. If properly drafted and implemented, the 9/11 Act mass transit security plan should have prevented this type of delay. I have personal knowledge about the vulnerabilities that continue to exist for handicapped passengers. Last spring, my nine year old daughter and I were forced to evacuate a WMATA subway train. We were in the last car and as such, we had to walk through all of the cars to get out. One of the individuals in the car with us was in a motorized wheel chair. The wheel chair could fit through the regular door openings but it couldn’t fit through the doors between the rail cars. This design flaw meant that someone would have to carry the handicapped gentleman out of the train. None of my fellow passengers did. Instead, he was forced to stay behind while my daughter and I went in search of a WMATA representative to help him. There was no fire that day but what would have happened if there had been one. Based on what happened on the January 12th, I’m not confident he would have survived. 72
