oh metro...
Taken directly from the WMATA website:
Metro's definition of "mechanical difficulties" and mine are two extremely different things.
Last weekend we had two suicides in as many days, and nothing about them either. I was on the red line on Sunday, and they only referred to it as a "report of someone struck by a train," and only in that wording once. From then on they referred to it as "police activity at Bethesda station."
One train on top of another and up to nine deaths I guess they figure they can't really hide from the public that well. Or maybe disaster on a large scale is more savory and immediately accessible than personal tragedy, the driving forces and fine balances behind one person's decision.
But that's a rant for another time.
