an act many don't take lightly. >> but some who experience terrible, life-changing events have made the decision to forgive even when outside observers didn't see how it was possible to do that. kim carver gives two outlooks on forgiveness. >> reporter: in a split-second your life can change forever. maybe it's happened to you, maybe it hasn't. it has happened to mark cronin. >> i remember driving the motorcycle. i remember the headlights coming at me and not having a chance to react and get out of the way quick enough. and i just remember blood pouring out of me and saying my leg. >> reporter: the day after being struck by a drunk driver traveling the wrong way on the highway, mark woke up in a hospital bed. >> i kept tapping down to my leg. i didn't know if it was gone or not. and i couldn't speak because i had a tube in me and my wife

let me know my leg was gone. >> reporter: and this girl's life changes just as quickly. >> i was on the porch with my sister and then you could hear it sounded like fire crackers but it wasn't the 4th of july. >> reporter: the gun shots that she heard were the result of an argument in a first floor apartment, a stray bullet hit the then 3-year-old. her mother recalls that night at the hospital. >> she was laying in like a trauma room. i looked at the x-ray and i couldn't really read it but i could see a bullet. it had severed her spinal cord 99.7%. >> reporter: that shot fired by this man leave her paralyzed. [ music ] ♪ >> kye, tanya and mark made the choice to forgive and their acts of compassion played out in courtrooms for the world to see. >> i know you're sorry.

i really do. i wish we could turn time back but we can't. i lost my leg, my family lost a lot and i know your family is a good family and have lost a lot too. what i do in my life will reflect on my three small children and i do have forgiveness for you and i wish there was something we could do and i hope in the future we can get together and talk to young kids about drunk driving. >> i could never -- until you are in the situation, i don't know what you can do and can't do. it made is easier knowing he was sorry. it was easier to forgive. as long as i can be here for my kids and still walk them down the aisle. i won't be as active but i'll still be there to see them. that is huge for me. if this is my son or daughter, i might have a different attitude. i don't know. i don't foe how i would react. >> reporter: kylie won't walk down the aisle and her mother knows what it feels like to see

her daughter robbed of so much. but she found it in her heart to forgive and did it before she reached the hospital. >> i don't know why i did, but i believed she would live and not die if i forgave, if we forgave. >> reporter: the impact statement is a reflection of that decision. >> [ inaudible ] >> the courtroom, that was a heavy day that day. >> and i was angry and me and my family were angry at him. i guess he was shocked because he probably thought oh, i'll just do the time in prison and then i'll get out. but he probably took that time and said, it's nice to be given another chance. >> it's reformed our lives in

a fox 5 follow-up on the cholera epidemic in haiti. health officials expect the outbreak could grow to hundreds of thousands. there are protests and there are reports that two people were killed and six more hurt in two separate incidents. rescue workers continue to pull survivors from the deadly building collapse in new delhi, india. 65 people are confirmed killed and dozens more injured. hundreds of people, most migrant workers and families, lived in the building. investigators suspect monsoon rain weakened the building. a missing strike in pakistan is now up to 20, the

american missile slammed into a home and a speeding car near the afghan border overnight. it is the 8th missile attack this month. the strike targeted a taliban base in afghanistan. well we might not want to talk about it but we have an obligation to do so. >> yes we do. >> the redskins blow a big-time monday night game. and just after a major announcement about the team's major players. so dave ross, one of our major players, a big ptper is up right after the break to talk about it all. you want some fiber one honey clusters?

yeah. you must really care about him. what? no, no. you gave him fiber. no she didn't. this tastes way too good to be fiber. they're delicious crunchy clusters with sweet honey and half a day's worth of fiber. you care about my fiber? not really. i care about your fiber too. i have for a while. ok, carl. why don't you care about her fiber? hey carl. [ male announcer ] fiber one. cardboard no. delicious yes. the redskins last night not only got beat, they not only got whipped, but they got whooped. >> and this came a few hours

after a major announcement about donovan mcnabb signing long-term with the skins. and dave joins us for tuesday morning quarterbacks. >> where do you begin? >> and at some point you have to watch and say this is how it will go. >> and mark went to the game last night and came home and said, let's just say it was the michael vick show. it was the michael vick show. >> you said you didn't want to talk about it. >> we're not going to. we're going to bring in grant pollson from 106.7, we'll let grant try to talk about it. sorry to put you on the spot. we appreciate it. we know you're working on about as much sleep as i had last night. but grant, nearly 600 yards in one game to the eagles, this defense 3-4 is now last in the entire league. can this defense work? >> i think it can with the right personnel and clearly right now everybody playing isn't going to be a piece of the puzzle in the next couple of seasons. but here is the thing, dave,

they came into the game with the most turnovers generated in football and so if you look at the last month, maybe two, this defense had been doing its job, the yards allowed need to come down, you can't finish 32nd. but there have been defenses, see new orleans and arizona and -- and the nfc that have made a superbowl without a defense near the top ten. >> and you have a good pulse in the players with the locker room and i see you out at the park from time to time. and let me ask you, do you believe they still believe they can make a run for the playoffs, maybe a playoff push if you will in the second half of the season? >> well they're egos are bruised right now. they are embarrassed and they know they got shellacked. you mentioned the franchise record 592 yards and mike vick, as you put it, it was dominant. he had six touchdowns last night. donovan mcnabb has nine all season and that warranted him a $78 million extension.

i think they still think they are a football team and they don't have much time and they have to pick up the pieces. if they spend a day or two feeling sorry for themselves they go to tennessee and the result could be similar. >> and do you think the controversy between shanahan and mcnabb is now water under the bridge with the new contract? >> it better be. and 40 million reasons why it needs to be. and you can't sign a guy to be your franchise quarterback if you plan on having drama continuing. >> grant, you do excellent work on 106.7 the fan. we appreciate you taking the time this morning. but tony and allison, we have another guest. how about the sports director dave feldman getting up early to call in today and it wasn't easy because he was here with me late last night, until 2:00 a.m. >> post game show. >> and feldy, let's get to it. the contract for mcnabb, good deal, bad deal or only time will tell? >> i think only time will tell, dave. but i think to follow-up with

what grant said, i think the contract was given by daniel snyder. i think if shanahan said no, you can't do this, then it probably wouldn't have happened because shanahan does have complete control. but i think kyle shanahan probably would not have wanted this to happen. he and mcnabb have had conflicting issues and had a dicey relationship on how they handle each other. but i think dan snyder wanted to do this. mcnabb is a really, really good guy to put as the face of this franchise. there is no other quarterback they have right now and he gave him $40 million. think of what he gave albert haynesworth and mcnabb is a guy respected throughout the league. albert haynesworth is not. >> could the game have played out any worse after the contract. they did this for a reason. it was a good p.r. move, monday night football and here comes the old team the

ea and after that happening, how do you get up and get to the park and get back to work. >> and we had lorenzo alexander on last night and they said it was somber. but they'll come back. allison and tony have had bad shows but they come back and if you are professional you do a good job. >> and will you be coming in today? it was a rough game. will you be in later on this evening? >> i will come back and i will come in early just to see if i get a chance to see allison because i never, ever see her. so i will come in. >> i hope we do see each other. we can spend time in the parking lot if we do. >> we are glad you're coming back today, however there is no guaranteed $40 million for you. >> well, tony, as you and i know, that is sue palka money. >> thank you so much. we'll see you tonight. >> thank you. >> and that's why you get him up early, for comments like

that. >> he's been smart. he knows to go right to allison. smart man there. it does not get easier. next week they go on to tennessee. vince young is another running back who can throw it. chris johnson is a dynamic running back. it will not be easy but they still believe they have a chance. >> they need to prepare -- i know they did something during the last two weeks but they looked unprepared. >> and i'll give shanahan credit for one thing. right after the game the very first thing out of his mouth is the coaches did a bad job. he took the onus for the team bad start and that's a true leader and that's what mike shanahan did last night. >> and with him having said that, regardless of what they would have done last night, michael vick was not going to be stopped. 59 points is 59 points. >> it was like a video game out there and he was controlling whatever he wants to do. vick is now the most exciting player in the nfl. >> the most exciting player.

and between what the eagles did last night and the cowboys winning over the giants, it really shakes up the nfc east. this is going to be a crazy finish during last seven weeks. >> try to predict it. good luck. you can't do it. >> you don't know who will beat who. >> so there is still hope for the redskins. don't give up yet. you didn't call it a must-win and that's why they lost. >> right. sorry, dave. >> thanks. hi, tucker barnes. >> hi. cloudy and rainy andreaing out -- and dreary out there. and we need the rain showers. haven't had much for the entire month of november. hard to believe it's been two weeks since we've seen measurable rain and it continues out there. there is your hd radar. and again this is a live look at what is falling across the area. generally light rainfall currently falling. heaviest has been to west all morning long on 66 toward reston, leesberg, toward dulles

and gaithersburg. winchester and front royal have had good rain and light showers inside the beltway. to the east toward prince george's county, out towards anne arundel county, annapolis, severna park, lighter shower activity. but that doesn't mean we're done with it yet. rain continues to stream in from the south and west and will be with us on and off throughout the day today. let's push on to satellite radar and i'll show you the bigger picture here and off to the south and west there is the rain shower activity. i speak of it. and when i open it up, you'll see the area of low pressure and the associated showers and even thunderstorms are further to the south, down into the deep south. and this will travel up the appalachian and push into the washington area. so clouds with us today. and even the possibility later this afternoon to get a frontal system during the nighttime hours. we could hear a few rumbles of thunder and get gusty winds during the nighttime hours. so look out for that later tonight. let's go to the future-cast and show you we are modeling the
