"I don't know who is in the car and I can't see a car anymore. It sunk."

A-B-C SEVEN SPENT THE DAY DIGGING UP NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRAGIC CRASH ON ALLIGATOR ALLEY.

ALLEY LATEST-VOTOPS 2 SHOT POP

33-YEAR-OLD CECILIA DOUGLAS, HER FOUR-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER MADISON, AND HER THREE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER RYLEE DIED --

WHEN THEIR LEXUS CLIPPED A TRUCK, PLOWED THROUGH A FENCE, AND FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN INTO A CANAL MONDAY MORNING.

INCLUDING WHY NO ONE HELPED THE MOTHER AND HER TWO CHILDREN AS THEY SANK 20 FEET --

ALLEY LATEST-PKG

'nats of work'.

CREWS ARE FIXING THE FENCE THAT SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THE DOUGLAS' FAMILY'S CAR FROM REACHING THE CANAL.

BUT WE FOUND OUT TODAY --

INSTEAD OF HITTING THE CABLES SUPPOSED TO CATCH THEM --

THEY HIT THIS BEACON POLE INSTEAD.

A FEW FEET LEFT OR RIGHT --

THIS WOULD BE A VERY DIFFERENT STORY.

"we're on alligator alley and we just saw a car go off the road. They knocked the fence down."

THEN THEY CAREENED INTO THE ALLIGATOR-INFESTED CANAL.

FIVE PEOPLE STOOD AT THE ROAD WATCHING THEIR CAR UPSIDE -- INCLUDING THREE FROM THE TRUCK CECILIA DOUGLAS HIT.

BUT NO ONE JUMPED IN.

TODAY WE FOUND OUT WHY --

IT'S BECAUSE NO ONE COULD SWIM.

"is anyone there willing to see if there is anyone in that car? No. No one there is willing to help out? No. It's my husband and me and these three people."

ONE PERSON WHO *WAS* WILLING TO HELP WAS THE FIRST HIGHWAY PATROL TROOPER THERE.

F-H-P SOURCES TELL US --

FUNERAL PLANS-SSTOPS

THE FAMILY WILL WELCOME ANYONE WHO WANTS TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS THIS SATURDAY.

THEY WILL HOLD FUNERAL SERVICES FOR CECILIA, RYLEE AND MADISON AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN MOUNT DORA.

THAT'S IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.

YOU CAN COME AT NOON.

EMS EXPANSION-VO

IT TOOK FIRE RESCUE CREWS 18-MINUTES TO GET TO THE FAMILY.

ON SOME PARTS OF THE ALLEY IT CAN TAKE AS LONG AS 50 MINUTES,.

BUT THAT WILL CHANGE.

A-B-C SEVEN FOUND OUT THAT COLLIER COUNTY IS WORKING TO BUILD A NEW FIRE RESCUE STATION ON ALLIGATOR ALLEY.

THE PLANS WERE THERE BEFORE THIS CRASH.

THIS IS WHAT THE RESCUE STATION WOULD LOOK LIKE.

EMS EXPANSION-SOTVO

ROMMELL BRADSHAW.

RONEY HOWARD AND ANDY JOHNSON BROKE INTO SIX HOUSES IN GOLDEN GATE JUST THIS PAST WEEK.

COLLIER DEPUTIES BELIEVE THEY ALSO ROBBED DOZENS OF OTHER HOUSES IN THE AREA *AND ALONG THE EAST COAST.

SMOKE IN TOILETS-VO

IF YOU SEE SMOKE COMING OUT OF YOUR SINK -- OR TOILET -- IT'S NOT A FIRE.

IT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP YOU.

SOME RESIDENTS IN PUNTA GORDA ARE SEEING THIS.

WE ASKED A CITY CONTRACTOR WHY IT'S HAPPENING.

HE SAYS THEY'RE PUMPING SMOKE INTO SECTIONS OF THE SEWER LINES TO DETECT LEAKS.

IF THERE IS A LEAK YOU WILL SEE SMOKE.

THAT MEANS YOU HAVE A LEAK AND NEED TO CALL A PLUMBER --

AND GET THIS. IT COULD SAVE YOU MONEY IN THE LONG RUN.

TEACHER RAISES-VO

FLORIDA TEACHERS COULD EACH SEE THEIR PAYCHECKS BALLOON BY 25-HUNDRED-DOLLARS A YEAR.

GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT UNVEILVED A PLAN TO GIVE THEM A RAISE TODAY.

HIS BUDGET PLAN ALSO INCREASES EDCUATION SPENDING NEARLY A HALF-BILLION DOLLARS.

THE LEGISLATURE STILL HAS TO SIGN OFF ON IT.

AND EACH DISTRICT WOULD ALSO HAVE TO HAMMER OUT THE DETAILS WITH LOCAL UNIONS.

BUT THE GOVERNOR SAYS THE STATE HAS MORE REVENUE --

TEACHER RAISES-SOTVO

i can think of no better investment for our state than invest in those teachers who work on the front line of florida's future every day by teaching our children.

BUT THE GOVERNOR ALSO PUSHED TO SLASH TEACHER SALARIES --

BY MAKING THEM COMMIT THREE PERCENT OF THEIR SALARIES TO THEIR RETIREMENT.

UNION REPS SAY THE SALARY BUMP IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION --

LIBYA HEARING-SOTVO

SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON FACED HER CRITICS TODAY --

FOR HOURS LAWMAKERS INTERROGATED HER ON THE TERRORIST ATTACK IN BENGAHZI, LIBYA.

SHE DID NOT BACK DOWN AND. AT ONE POINT SHE EXPLODED.

"With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make? "

SECRETARY CLINTON ALSO DEFENDED FORMER U-N AMBASSADOR SUSAN RICE.

REPUBLICANS ACCUSED RICE OF MISLEADING AMERICANS IN THE DAYS AFTER THE ATTACK.

WOMEN IN COMBAT-VO

AMERICAN WOMEN WILL SOON HAVE THE RIGHT TO FIGHT.

TODAY --

DEFENSE SECRETARY LEON PANETTA ANNOUNCED HE'S PLANNING TO LIFT THE BAN ON WOMEN IN COMBAT.

THAT WOULD CLEAR THE WAY FOR WOMEN IN THE MILITARY TO APPLY FOR COMBAT SPECIALTIES AND UNITS.

THE NAVY OPENED *SUBMARINES UP TO WOMEN A FEW MONTHS AGO.

PAVING THE WAY FOR OTHER ROLES.

DESPITE THE BAN WOMEN HAVE PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE IN WAR.

152 US MILITARY WOMEN HAVE BEEN KILLED IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

CONGRESSWOMAN TAMMY DUCKWORTH LOST BOTH HER LEGS AS AN ARMY COMBAT HELICOPTER PILOT IN IRAQ.

SHE SAYS THIS NEW STEP LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD FOR WOMEN.

sot-"It's hard to make it to general for example without a combat arms command at the brigade or batallion level, and this will now allow women some of that command time."

WOMEN WOULD HAVE TO VOLUNTEER FOR COMBAT DUTY -- AND MEET THE SAME PHYSICAL STANDARDS FACED BY MEN.

sot-"Oh they have to. The standard doesn't change just because they're a woman."

BUT IS THE MILITARY PREPARED FOR LADIES IN THE LEAD OF BATTLE?

ot-"they'll be plenty of complaints about it but I dont think it's going to have a negative affect on the actual strength of the force.

AND ARE WOMEN READY FOR COMBAT?

JUST ASK THE CONGRESSWOMAN
