Last week, news broke out of U.S. District Court regarding the troubling Office of the Attorney General's handling of a Pershing Park civil suit. The judge in that case called on the D.C. Council to open an investigation into alleged OAG wrongdoing and ordered AG Peter Nickles to submit a sworn statement explaining why potential evidence had disappeared, and why more critical evidence was still being uncovered and turned over after discovery began five years ago.

One of the most troubling pieces of evidence that Nickles needs to explain is the faulty police department radio recordings. And why his office submitted a blatantly false affidavit concerning those recordings? And after the affidavit was proven to be false, why city lawyers did not withdraw the affidavit or correct it?

You can listen to the radio transmissions from the metro crash here. [You can also go directly to the radio calls here].The first 911 dispatcher call out is for a pretty significant all hands on deck for a derailment. There doesn't appear to be any confusion about the severity of the crash. And then there's this apparently from a firefighter later on the tape asking for help:

"I don't know if power has been cut off...I have a serious head injury."

There are no time stamps so it's hard to tell how long it took for the firefighters to report that the crash involved two trains, that it was above ground, that it was very serious. There are several calls before the mass casualty units are requested.
