The overturned vehicle we mentioned this afternoon on I-395 in DC? Yeah, it was a WMATA van, transporting disabled passengers. They’re having a bad month over there at Metro, what with the Escalator issues, a Multi-failure Day, a busted Yellow line, and many other issues we’ve all talked about here.
I wonder, is there any place we should send our condolences for their rough month? What exactly do you get that friend that somehow manages to screw up every part of their core competency in just a few weeks?

What about the Orange/Blue line delays this afternoon? 70 minutes from Metro Center to Vienna on a completely packed train. That was hell! Do they really have no way to move a dead train out of the way?!?
