Aber in den zweiten sechs oder so von diesen zwölf Tagen, als es viel klarer wurde, dass ein Kampf passieren könnte, begannen die Leute zu fliehen. Also ich denke, am Sonntag, das wäre der 21., hat der Train stoppt. It had been that there were like four trains plus a freight train that came into DC every day and departed.
