lawyers suing dead metro train operator? gtfo of here.

In response to this article on DCist:

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? How are they seriously going to sue poor, dead Jeanice McMillan for their hurt backs when the woman a) tried to push the emergency stop button and b) SHE DIED?

They should be grateful that they have their lives when this poor woman lost hers -- trying to save them, and the EIGHT OTHER PEOPLE THAT DIED, no less.


Suing WMATA is another story, however. What was the "situation" at Eastern Market yesterday, anyway? Another death? Suicide jumper? That's what it was last Monday. That'd make it three Mondays in a row, WMATA, and I am not surprised in the least.


Also, you know you're in a pretty icky situation when you step off the train and the platform is about 20 degrees cooler than the train ever thought about being. Mmm, 1000-series cars with non-working air-conditioning. I was gross before I ever got to work.
