I’ve also been on that line many many times going back 20+ years. I can’t remember another accident like this on the DC Metro.

I’m on a road trip in Nashville, and the hotel that I’m at doesn’t have the bandwidth for streaming video.

I remember those...and the photos in the Daily News.

It was just awful.

The libs on Twitter are trying to blame Sen. Coburn for this because he blocked some funding for the Metro.

I think there was a metro train collision on the same day an Air Florida plane went into the 14th street bridge.

If you scroll up you’ll see some photos- that’s pretty much all we’re seeing too.

Live reporter saying several firefighters on the top of one train- says it’s as if the trains telescoped- one kind of went right inside the other.

I heard that one of the trains was empty. Has anyone heard that?

Who was conductor of the empty train?

My thoughts for the victims and their families.

And my thoughts for our nation as the same clowns in charge of Amtrak want to run our healthcare. With about the same results, I fear...

I’m watching the coverage on CBS with Katie Couric right now.

Unbelievable the snarky comments on this thread.

Lately there's been too many snarky comments - and they're almost always at the top of the thread.

[SE Mom]

Yes- it’s been reported one car was empty- apparently 6 cars involved.

[Brytani]

What, it’s not Bush’s fault?

[OldMissileer]

Two dead now. Reported by both the local TV crews and WMAL.

[Brytani]

How’s that for safety, I was in high school when that crash happened. We were home from school for the day because of snow...

[Doe Eyes]

Makes no difference where it happened. Anywhere there is a metro it is a liberal enclave.

I've been doing the Metro thing for years

One Friday you ought to hop off at Takoma Station and join other DC Chapter members and friends at Walter Reed.

I hope the DC Chapter members who ride that Metro check in safe. Also, Red Line is the oldest part of the Metro subway system, IIRC.

Fox News running live coverage at this minute. Prayers coming from Dixie...

[SE Mom]

FOX reporter saying a few minutes ago about a dozen EMT vehicles came to the part of the train where there may be trapped (dead) people still. Apparently they’ve taken away most of the wounded to hospitals.

PRess conf coming up soon..

I’m gittin’ there, sonny!
