I am sure everyone is aware of the attempted suicide on the Orange Line, on Tuesday Oct 11th. It's a tragic events for all involved, but Metro failed on several fronts on this situation. I was one of the lucky ones and found out about this before getting on Metro, but I was a lucky one because it was rush hour and I could've been on that train or on even worse on the platform at Roslyn.
My major beef about the situation was the conflict of information, twitter feeds, PIDs and train announcements all differed. Crazy. They kept announcing the Orange line to Arlington Cemetery, that was doomed from the start. Not sure what I would've done there. I stayed and was one of the first crowded trains thru Roslyn.
To top things off, I was one of the lucky ones selected for a post event questionnaire. Ridiculous is the only word that comes to mind. I know they want to learn from this situation, and getting a feel from people involved is best, but the useless questions they asked makes the whole endeavor meaningless. We'll see what happens. No mention of the chaos of Roslyn or steps they will take in the future.
Oh well, I will keep taking Metro to work, because its . . . . well, is gets me to work, mostly on time.
