Metro Crash

I'm signed up to get e-mail alerts when there's a delay on my Metro line. Today I got this:
(ID 55699) Disruption at Fort Totten. Trains are turning back at Rhode Island Ave & Silver Spring due to a train experiencing mechanical difficulties outside of Ft. Totten. Shuttle service has been established.
That's a bit of an understatement.


Given Metro's controls, I didn't think this kind of collision was even possible.

I'm glad you're not dead. Please disregard my frantic text message.

Sort of like when the Challenger exploded and the flight director noted, dryly, "obviously a major malfunction."
