5. Thanks for mentioning this

There was a big delay on the metro when I was coming home. They never announced the cause of the delays.

9. He said "yes we can."

Apparently that doesn't include making the trains not collide with each other.

I'm taking my Obama bumpersticker off right now. In real time.

10. Double train collision seems redundant.

(I am watching the wrctv news, they don't know much)

11. Live coverage looks bad. One car is on top another.

12. I wouldn't be shocked if a conductor was texting while driving

After all, the last few crashes like this had that factor involved.

13. Subway train collision, 2 dead, many wounded

This is the 2nd collision they have had that looked like this. The other one was on the red line too, but in a different section of the tracks.
