I'm sure most of you have heard about the metro accident on the red line yesterday. I know my friends and family were concerned when they heard the news because they all know that I live near and am almost always traveling on the red line. It was a terrible accident and I will be praying for all those who are affected by it. After an incident like that you would think people would be more cautious regarding the metro. You'd think that, but I'll tell you it is entirely untrue. Most people are just angry that the crash messed up their schedules. There are now less trains on the tracks, meaning the ones that are running are fuller. I was on the metro this morning, and my car was jam packed like sardines in a can. (I actually have never once seen sardines in a can so I'm just assuming that phrase is accurate and they are packed in there good and tight) Anyway, you would think that after yesterday's tragedy people would be more mindful and try to be safer on the metro.... yeah, no they aren't. Too many people were trying to push their way into the metro car this morning; Doors were closing on people and they still didn't view this as a reason to get off and wait for the next train. So what happened? They broke the doors. They broke the doors so we all got trapped in a tunnel for over a half hour, standing so close to one another that no one could breathe, let alone shift positions. Longest half hour of my life. And what does this result in? It results in one less train on the tracks until they fix the doors; thus disgustingly over crowded trains and rude riders.
