"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:30 p.m. Thursday, June 27:\u003c/strong> BART said Thursday that it’s still investigating an incident earlier this week in which one of its new trains shut down, forcing 421 passengers to exit through a tunnel in downtown Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency says it has determined the problem Monday began with malfunctioning air compressors on two adjacent cars on the eight-car train. That problem disrupted communication between the train’s lead “cab” car and the two cars with the compressor problem, BART said in a brief statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This resulted in the train failing in a safe mode and being rendered unable to move,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART spokesperson Alicia Trost said in an email that technicians continue to run diagnostic tests on the two malfunctioning cars. The train’s other six cars have been returned to service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vehicles, which cost about $2 million each, are part of the new fleet BART began introducing into service last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post, Monday, June 24:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART is recovering after one of the transit agency’s new Fleet of the Future trains broke down Monday morning in downtown Oakland, snarling service in all directions and forcing more than 400 passengers to detrain and walk through a tunnel to a nearby station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART spokeswoman Anna Duckworth said the incident — the cause of which hasn’t yet been diagnosed — began about 10 a.m. when an eight-car Richmond-bound train ground to a stop between the Lake Merritt and 12th Street stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duckworth said technicians tried for more than an hour to troubleshoot the problem without success. The agency then made the decision to detrain the 421 passengers aboard the run and have them walk “a few hundred feet” to the platform at 12th Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they couldn’t get the train going again and the time kept creeping and it became an hourlong delay, we decided it was time to get these passengers off the train,” Duckworth said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/marisolreports/status/1143219188908978179\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART deployed a “rescue train” to the downtown Oakland tunnel, which was coupled to the disabled train and towed it at 10 mph to a pocket track near MacArthur Station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The net effect on BART service: A massive backup behind the disabled train that caused major delays systemwide, with some passengers forced to get off trains that were turned back in the middle of their routes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some passengers on the stalled train complained that BART didn’t do enough to communicate what was happening during the hour-plus before they were told they’d be taking a hike through the darkened trackside passageway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Sureshstar/status/1143214857673560064\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marisol Medina-Cadena, a freelance radio producer, was one of those stuck on the stopped train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were no announcements,” Medina-Cadena said. “… It seemed like the speakers might be down and there was no way to make an announcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bevan Dufty, the president of the BART board of directors, said in a tweet Monday afternoon that the public address system had, indeed, failed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/BevanDufty/status/1143283215433469953\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medina-Cadena said that there was confusion, too, about the order to leave the train. At one point, she said, a BART employee she believed to be a technician told people on her car that “Hey, we might have you guys walk through the tunnel.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we just followed him,” Medina-Cadena said. “But none of the other cars got that announcement, so they were all looking at us like, ‘Where are you all going?’ And we were like, ‘Wait, didn’t you get the announcement that we might be walking the tunnel?’ There was no coordinated communication at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART spokesperson Duckworth said the agency’s technical staff had not determined the cause of the breakdown as of midafternoon Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quoting staff, she said, “We won’t have an answer until we take the cars to one of our shops for inspection and diagnostic. No time has been scheduled yet for the train to be moved from MacArthur Station.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART currently has taken delivery of about 80 Fleet of the Future cars, which cost about $2 million each. The agency hopes to acquire a total of 1,081 new cars from Montreal-based manufacturer Bombardier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are a key piece of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11756245/feds-deliver-major-grant-to-help-bart-increase-rush-hour-capacity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BART’s plan\u003c/a> to increase rush-hour passenger capacity through the Transbay Tube by 45 percent by 2027.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART and Bombardier announced plans earlier this month to move final assembly of the new cars from the company’s plant in upstate New York to a facility in Antioch.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The report says Pirone, who punched and kneed Grant after detaining him, \"started a cascade of events that ultimately led to the shooting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, completed by independent investigators hired by BART in July 2009, was released by the agency Tuesday under terms of SB 1421, California's new police transparency law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11717416' hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/JusticeforOscarGrant-1020x726.jpg' target='_blank']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sections of the report relating to Mehserle were redacted, and investigators noted they had been unable to interview the officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they wrote that videos of the Fruitvale Station incident showed Mehserle may have known he was drawing his firearm, not his Taser, before shooting Grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Despite the inability to interview Officer Mehserle, the conclusion can be made from a close viewing of the enhanced video that he was intending to pull his firearm and not his Taser,\" the report says, noting that Mehserle repeatedly reached for his gun \"and on the final occasion can be seen looking back at his hand on the gun/holster to watch the gun come out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mehserle fired a single round into Grant's back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just prior to the shooting, the 22-year-old Grant, face down on the station platform with Officer Pirone kneeling on his neck and head, had put both hands behind him \"in a handcuffing position,\" the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Deadly force was not justified under the circumstances,\" the investigation found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Los Angeles jury convicted Mehserle of involuntary manslaughter in 2010, and he was sentenced to a two-year prison term, of which he served 11 months. He was released in June 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Role of 'Crazy Cop'\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The report is unsparing in its criticism of Pirone's conduct in the chaotic 13 minutes before the shooting, saying the officer lied repeatedly to investigators about his actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The document says Pirone was the first BART officer on the southbound Fruitvale platform, responding to reports of a fight on a Dublin/Pleasanton train crowded with passengers returning from New Year's Eve festivities in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witnesses would later describe Pirone to investigators as the \"crazy cop,\" “very agitated,\" \"harsh and unprofessional,\" and \"not calm, not once.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"police-records\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/Police-Art_1-1.gif\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/police-records\" target=\"_blank\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pirone left his partner, Officer Marysol Domenici, who was handling a separate issue at a station agent's booth, and climbed the stairs to the station platform about 2:04 a.m. He stopped three black men who'd just walked off the train, telling them either to \"sit the fuck down\" or \"get on the fucking wall,\" according to what they told investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Domenici joined him, he told her to \"watch these guys,\" while he ordered Grant over to the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pirone then got on the train to detain a passenger named Michael Greer. Witnesses described Pirone as loud, aggressive and profane, with one saying the officer yelled, \"Get the fuck out of my car\" before dragging Greer off the train and handcuffing him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant, meanwhile, was telling his friends against the wall to \"just be cool\" and \"be quiet — we’re going to go home tonight\" as they argued with Domenici, according to Jack Bryson Jr., one of the detained men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pirone told investigators he saw Grant fighting with Domenici and that he rushed to help her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The video, however, shows a completely different story, one of Grant pushing his friends back from Domenici and no touching of her ever taking place,\" the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he reached Grant, Pirone told investigators they scuffled. But the report notes that video of the incident shows Pirone shoved Grant against the wall and punched him in the head and that Grant did not fight back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Pirone accomplished his apparent intended goal to have Grant sit down. Once down, Pirone kneed Grant in the face,\" the report says, calling the strike \"punitive\" and unjustified.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Officer Used Racial Epithet\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Pirone told investigators that Grant called him a \"bitch-ass n-----\" and that he responded by saying, \"bitch-ass n-----, huh?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For a white law enforcement officer to utter the word 'n-----' to an African American male while detaining him in the tense racial atmosphere at the Fruitvale station undoubtedly contributed to the escalation of tensions,\" the report says. \"The use of such a word diminished Officer Pirone and the BART PD.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, the report says, Pirone and Mehserle began struggling to handcuff Grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mehserle shoved Grant down, and Pirone put his knee on Grant's neck and head. The internal investigation found that Pirone's weight likely prevented Grant from getting his hands out from under his stomach to put them behind his back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When Pirone takes his weight off Grant, Grant immediately puts both hands behind his back for cuffing,\" the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's when Mehserle drew his gun and fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nigel Bryson, one of the men detained along the wall, told investigators he heard the gunshot, then looked over to see Grant raise his head slightly and say, \"You shot me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report found Pirone’s conduct played a major part in setting the stage for the shooting and recommended he be fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Pirone’s repeated, unreasonable and unnecessary use of force; his willful and reckless conduct that endangered the safety of the public and his fellow officers; his failure to be forthcoming about the true events; his changing and shifting stories; his manifest lack of veracity; his professionally inappropriate demeanor; his use of a racially offensive word; and his excessive use of expletives, warrant a recommendation that Officer Pirone be terminated from his employment with BART,” investigators concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART subsequently fired Pirone, who was not criminally charged in connection with the Grant shooting. In 2014, an arbitrator upheld Pirone's termination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the Grant case, BART \u003ca href=\"https://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2009/news20090813\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">implemented\u003c/a> a series of steps to improve oversight of the police force, including creating an independent police auditor's office and a citizens review board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART also settled wrongful death lawsuits brought by Grant's mother and daughter, agreeing to pay each more than $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5984249-OSCAR-GRANT-IA09A002-Final-Report-Internal/\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced as part of the California Reporting Project, a collaboration of more than 30 newsrooms across the state to obtain and report on police misconduct and serious use-of-force records unsealed in 2019.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated: \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1:25 p.m. To add BART's creation of an independent police auditor and citizens police review board.\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>4 p.m.: To add date of internal investigation report and BART's settlement of wrongful death lawsuits arising from killing of Oscar Grant.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Witnesses described Pirone as loud, aggressive and profane, with one saying the officer yelled, \"Get the fuck out of my car\" before dragging Greer off the train and handcuffing him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant, meanwhile, was telling his friends against the wall to \"just be cool\" and \"be quiet — we’re going to go home tonight\" as they argued with Domenici, according to Jack Bryson Jr., one of the detained men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pirone told investigators he saw Grant fighting with Domenici and that he rushed to help her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The video, however, shows a completely different story, one of Grant pushing his friends back from Domenici and no touching of her ever taking place,\" the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he reached Grant, Pirone told investigators they scuffled. But the report notes that video of the incident shows Pirone shoved Grant against the wall and punched him in the head and that Grant did not fight back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Pirone accomplished his apparent intended goal to have Grant sit down. Once down, Pirone kneed Grant in the face,\" the report says, calling the strike \"punitive\" and unjustified.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Officer Used Racial Epithet\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Pirone told investigators that Grant called him a \"bitch-ass n-----\" and that he responded by saying, \"bitch-ass n-----, huh?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For a white law enforcement officer to utter the word 'n-----' to an African American male while detaining him in the tense racial atmosphere at the Fruitvale station undoubtedly contributed to the escalation of tensions,\" the report says. \"The use of such a word diminished Officer Pirone and the BART PD.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, the report says, Pirone and Mehserle began struggling to handcuff Grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mehserle shoved Grant down, and Pirone put his knee on Grant's neck and head. The internal investigation found that Pirone's weight likely prevented Grant from getting his hands out from under his stomach to put them behind his back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When Pirone takes his weight off Grant, Grant immediately puts both hands behind his back for cuffing,\" the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's when Mehserle drew his gun and fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nigel Bryson, one of the men detained along the wall, told investigators he heard the gunshot, then looked over to see Grant raise his head slightly and say, \"You shot me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report found Pirone’s conduct played a major part in setting the stage for the shooting and recommended he be fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Pirone’s repeated, unreasonable and unnecessary use of force; his willful and reckless conduct that endangered the safety of the public and his fellow officers; his failure to be forthcoming about the true events; his changing and shifting stories; his manifest lack of veracity; his professionally inappropriate demeanor; his use of a racially offensive word; and his excessive use of expletives, warrant a recommendation that Officer Pirone be terminated from his employment with BART,” investigators concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART subsequently fired Pirone, who was not criminally charged in connection with the Grant shooting. In 2014, an arbitrator upheld Pirone's termination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the Grant case, BART \u003ca href=\"https://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2009/news20090813\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">implemented\u003c/a> a series of steps to improve oversight of the police force, including creating an independent police auditor's office and a citizens review board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART also settled wrongful death lawsuits brought by Grant's mother and daughter, agreeing to pay each more than $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Following reports in the San Francisco Chronicle that most of what appeared to be security cameras aboard trains were actually non-operational decoys, BART was forced to admit it had no video from the car where the crime occurred.

It also proposed beefing up the district’s surveillance capabilities by expanding the number of cameras on BART property and employing a new centralized system to help monitor them — measures that were \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11686029/bart-board-defers-action-on-most-of-anti-crime-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deferred\u003c/a> after privacy advocates raised concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the most difficult and controversial chapter in Crunican’s career at BART occurred in 2013 when the agency endured two strikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crunican and the board hired a hardline negotiator, Thomas Hock, to confront union representatives determined to win significant raises after granting concessions during the economic downturn and an agency budget crisis four years earlier. The two sides came to an impasse not once but twice, with workers walking out in a pair of four-day actions in July and October 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the impact to the commuting public, the second walkout, and BART’s decision to prepare to use nonstriking replacement train operators, led directly to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/115636/feds-take-over-probe-of-fatal-bart-train-accident\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a tragedy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two men working alongside tracks between Pleasant Hill and Concord — Christopher Sheppard, a BART employee, and contractor Laurence Daniels — were killed when a four-car train with a trainee at the controls hit them while traveling 60 to 70 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Transportation Safety Board \u003ca href=\"https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/RAB1503.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ruled\u003c/a> that BART’s lax safety practices were the probable cause for the deaths.

The current contracts expire in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her retirement announcement to the board, Crunican expressed both pride in BART’s current direction and confidence that the agency will thrive in coming years. She pointed to Measure RR, the $3.5 billion infrastructure investment bond, and a range of other initiatives, including adopting a districtwide transit-oriented housing development program and embracing LGBTQ firms as part of BART’s small-business contracting program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A capable, diverse and energetic team of new leaders is in place to take BART into the next decade,” she said. “This team is joyful and bold and hardworking. They are customer-focused and have made operational changes that have translated into cleaner stations, almost universal Clipper Card usage, good relations with labor unions for several years and communication systems that stay ahead of our mobile customers, just to name a few.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added: “Despite the challenges, and we all know that some days have been better than others, I am fortunate to have had this opportunity to serve you and the customers who rely on BART.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crunican’s departure is the second involving a member of BART’s senior management in the past seven months.

The current contracts expire in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her retirement announcement to the board, Crunican expressed both pride in BART’s current direction and confidence that the agency will thrive in coming years. She pointed to Measure RR, the $3.5 billion infrastructure investment bond, and a range of other initiatives, including adopting a districtwide transit-oriented housing development program and embracing LGBTQ firms as part of BART’s small-business contracting program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A capable, diverse and energetic team of new leaders is in place to take BART into the next decade,” she said. “This team is joyful and bold and hardworking.

The computer problem also shut down many stations' informational signs and ticket machines, and even fouled up some of the agency's website customer alerts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Full service resumed just before 11 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a monumental task to go and reset the system and ensure we could operate safely,\" said Bevan Dufty, president of BART's board of directors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the resets, the agency said in a statement Monday, \"all train systems have performed as designed without failure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dufty, who represents a district in San Francisco, said agency staff will report on the incident at this Thursday's board meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Cisco and BART engineers and operations are working diligently to really come up with answers,\" Dufty said. \"I understand the desire two days later to know what took place, but I do want to give some opportunity for the technical people to come forward and talk about it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the Saturday shutdown, which appears to be the system's worst computer-related failure since a botched software upgrade caused two days of service disruptions in March 2006, highlights the need to replace the agency's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/a20019/taylor-huckaby-bart/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pong-era\u003c/a>\" central train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.bart.gov/about/projects/traincontrol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Replacing the train control system\u003c/a> was one of the selling points for Measure RR, passed in 2016, which allows the district to sell $3.5 billion in bonds to help pay for new cars and a long list of major infrastructure upgrades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART says the $1.15 billion train control project, which will get $400 million from Measure RR in addition to state and federal grants and revenue from a fare increase scheduled for next year, is key to plans to increase the system's passenger capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the new system in place, the agency says it will be able to run trains closer together -- a change that will allow an increase from 24 to 30 trains per hour traveling through the Transbay Tube during the morning and evening commutes. That increased frequency, along with the availability of more cars, would result in a capacity increase of 21,000 to 30,000 transbay riders an hour, the agency says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART says it will pick a train control provider by the end of this year, but that the system won't be fully in place until 2026.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dufty described BART as a system that's \"racing\" to replace worn-out train cars, track and other equipment, and said the computer network failure over the weekend was \"unfortunately a side product\" of that catch-up process.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That increased frequency, along with the availability of more cars, would result in a capacity increase of 21,000 to 30,000 transbay riders an hour, the agency says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART says it will pick a train control provider by the end of this year, but that the system won't be fully in place until 2026.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dufty described BART as a system that's \"racing\" to replace worn-out train cars, track and other equipment, and said the computer network failure over the weekend was \"unfortunately a side product\" of that catch-up process.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
