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.

Thanks. I would have been in the stalled train, but my friend Patti (who I post about once in awhile) would have been on the train that ended up halfway up the other. She usually rides the redline to Fort Totten. Today, luckily for her, her hubs had dental trauma and couldn't drive her to the station, so she drove in herself, thank heaven.
