Hockey Players Die in Plane Crash
COSTELLO: It is 23 minutes past the hour. This is your A.M. WAKE-UP CALL. Thanks for joining us this morning. Let's head around the world now with Zain Verjee. She's live in London. Good morning, Zain.</s>ZAIN VERJEE, CNN INTERNATIONAL ANCHOR: Good morning to you, Carol. We want to focus a little bit about what happened in Russia. There was that really tragic plane crash and most of the victims that were killed were actually team members of a hockey team and it was -- it's just so sad. It's unclear exactly what the cause was. We want to show you pictures, too, of a vigil, Carol, that's being held by fans that went to a stadium. They lit candles. They put the hockey team scarves there, placed flowers, too. You know, part of the problem with some of these Russian planes, there's always a question about their safety of these passenger planes. So that's being thrown into question. But it's a really tragic story for Russia and the Russian leader gave his condolences -- Carol.</s>COSTELLO: And for hockey fans in the United States, three of those players played on the Detroit Red Wings. So, we're grieving here as well. Let's talk about Mexico because the Mexican government, correct me if I'm wrong, but they're training their residents to use guns to protect themselves?</s>VERJEE: Yes. That's exactly right. They're doing this in Garcia in Mexico, and it's a course they're offering. It's a new one and it's free. And so, anyone who has a weapon, who has a permit, can be trained how to use it effectively because a lot of people just want to defend their families because of al the violence that's been going on in different parts of Mexico. So, what they're doing is that they're offering these courses and they've got something like 3,000 people that have already signed up, engineers, school teachers, and even housewives, who have handguns. So, this is a new project that they hope will be effective and that will allow people to use guns effectively.</s>COSTELLO: Wow. Zain Verjee, reporting live from London, thanks so much. It's submerged in floodwaters for days. Now, a Nebraska nuclear power plant has been rated among the worst in the country. The big concern about that just ahead. It's 25 minutes past the hour.
