Metro accident...

There's been a Metro accident in Washington DC (on the Red Line, near the DC-MD border).

One person is reported dead and apparently, they are treating this as a "mass casualty event."

Keep all the Metro commuters in your thoughts.

My friend Ghina alerted me to it after it happened, so I'm laying low at work for a bit- kinda cuts into my evening, but it's better to be here than sitting on the platform waiting and worrying. My family is okay, and my friends.

Thanks for posting this, btw.

Two dead and they've just upped the injury count--which, as they pointed out, includes everything from skinned knees to broken necks--to a hundred.

Kind of odd that I live in DC, on the Red Line, and I found out about this from a blog post by somebody in Texas (or someplace like that)....

So I very smartly kept calling the DC metro the "depths of doom" this weekend. As a joke, 'cos it looked like a sci fi pod thing.

The entire time, I kept kicking myself for saying that, worried that something bad would happen while we were on the train.

This just makes me really sad.
