The Update- March 16th

From New York, the greatest city in the world, and home to eight of the FBI's ten most wanted, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! Another weekend (and St. Patrick's Day) is upon us, but before we get there, Brandon's making his way through a very busy news day.

Some stories talked about on tonight's show were:

1. Two FDNY members -- a lieutenant and a fire marshal - are among the seven soldiers killed in a helicopter crash in Iraq. They are among the four members of the 106th Rescue Wing of the New York Air National Guard, based in Westhampton Beach, killed in the crash.

2. Limited service was restored to the Long Island Rail Road after a fire near train tracks in Queens Friday caused service suspension on four branches. The fire started at 1:10 p.m. and went up to a fifth alarm, the FDNY said.

3. The Metropolitan Opera's lawyer says conductor James Levine's lawsuit over his firing is "riddled with untruths."
